Progent's organization is designed to make top IT skills accessible on short notice and economically. Progent is unmatched in the network support arena for being able to provide convenient, rapid, and budget-friendly access to Cisco CCIEs. CCIEs are elite network professionals who qualify for this rare certification by passing strenuous examination by Cisco.
CCIE is the premier certification for network consultants, and indicates an individual's technical skills at the expert level. Candidates who succeed in the two required exams, one written and the other in a lab environment, receive a CCIE credential from Cisco. CCIE certification typically requires a minimum of three years of practical experience designing, implementing, operating, and repairing sophisticated Cisco networks. Earning a CCIE certificate also demands experience with Cisco hardware and Cisco networking solutions, broad understanding of Local and Wide Area Network mechanisms, and an in-depth understanding of the protocols used on routers, switches, bridges, and firewalls. The prestigious CCIE certification has been recognized as the most advanced information technology certification by CertMag.
The Capabilities of a Cisco CCIE Consultant
The CCIE credential recognizes engineers with the skills and background to handle the most challenging tasks in their field. The CCIE exams administered by Cisco are continually updated to evolve along with the industry, concentrating on current technologies and practical problems. The CCIE certification is valid for two years, and to keep it current holders need to pass a Cisco recertification exam. This ensures that CCIEs do not get stale or too focused in order that they can offer the latest approaches to a broad range of challenges involving the most advanced network and security technology.
CCIEs are a highly-select group of engineers. Less than 3% of all Cisco certified individuals qualify for the CCIE level, a small minority of IT workers worldwide. By 2010, around 5,000 CCIEs were located in the US. Progent offers the skills of around 12 CCIE-certified engineers on its phone-support and on-site IT support group, which is an extraordinarily large number for an independent computer service company.
CCIEs can handle even the most difficult issues related to network planning, deployment, administration, protection, and repair. CCIEs operate on a privileged basis with Cisco's in-house support staff in isolating problems with Cisco IOS Software network administration tools and coming up with workarounds or obtaining software patches to resolve problems. CCIEs represent an excellent value because their deep expertise enables them to fix complex problems rapidly. In many instances, less qualified engineers can burn up many hours or even days struggling with a problem that an experienced CCIE can solve in just minutes.
Most Progent CCIEs are not only expert at Cisco technologies, but also have multiple recognized technical certifications such as Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), and a major network security credential such as CISSP or CISM. This allows Progent to provide complete services that address a wide array of technologies without requiring extra costs and delays orchestrating too many consultants.
Progent's CCIE Support Services
The vast majority of CCIEs are employed by large corporations or national ISPs, and so their services are not readily accessible to the general public. Progent is among the few support firms that makes CCIEs available to support small and medium sized companies. In addition, Progent can provide quick contact with a CCIE by phone so that you can receive immediate support for urgent network problems that are impacting worker productivity but are beyond the experience of your local IT maintenance providers. Progent's CCIE consultants can tie into your environment using the latest remote support technology in order to provide fast and economical diagnosis and remediation of urgent network problems.
