Cisco Network Consultants

Progent's organizational structure is optimized to make top network support talent available on short notice and economically. Progent is unmatched in the IT consulting industry for being able to provide convenient, quick, and cost-effective access to Cisco CCIEs. Cisco-certified CCIEs are sought-after networking professionals who earn this prestigious certification only after strenuous testing by Cisco.

CCIE is the premier recognition for networking consultants, and indicates an individual's technical skills at the expert level. Candidates who pass the two required exams, one written and one in a lab environment, receive a CCIE certificate from Cisco. CCIE certification usually requires a minimum of three years of real-world experience designing, implementing, operating, and troubleshooting sophisticated Cisco networks. Earning a CCIE credential also demands experience with Cisco hardware and network software, broad knowledge of LAN/WAN mechanisms, and an in-depth understanding of the network protocols associated with routers, switches, bridges, and firewalls. The elite CCIE credential has been recognized as the most advanced information technology credential by CertMag.

The Capabilities of a Cisco CCIE Engineer
Cisco's CCIE certification recognizes engineers with the skills and background to handle the most challenging assignments in networking. The CCIE tests administered by Cisco are continually updated to grow along with the state of the art, focusing on contemporary environments and real-world applications. The CCIE credential is active for two years, and to keep it current engineers have to take a Cisco recertification test. This guarantees that CCIE engineers don't become stale or too focused so that they can provide the latest solutions to the widest array of problems involving the most current network and security technology.

CCIEs are an elite class of engineers. Below 3% of all Cisco certified professionals make it to the CCIE certification, a small minority of information technology workers in the industry. By 2010, approximately 5,000 Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts were registered in the United States. Progent offers the skills of about a dozen CCIE-certified engineers on its phone-support and on-site network consulting group, which is an extraordinarily high number for an independent computer support organization.

CCIEs can handle even the most difficult issues related to network design, deployment, administration, security, and troubleshooting. CCIEs work closely with Cisco's in-house support staff in isolating anomalies with IOS Software network management tools and developing workarounds or obtaining software updates to resolve problems. CCIEs represent an exceptional value since their deep expertise enables them to fix complex problems rapidly. In common instances, less qualified engineers can spend many hours or even days struggling with a task that an experienced CCIE can resolve in just a few minutes.

Most Progent CCIEs are not only experienced with Cisco technologies, but have multiple recognized technical credentials including Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), and an important security credential such as CISSP or CISA. This allows Progent to provide comprehensive services that incorporate a wide range of IT products without incurring extra costs and interruptions orchestrating multiple consultants.

Progent's CCIE Support Services
The vast majority of CCIEs are employed by large enterprises or nationwide Internet providers, and so their services are not easily available to the general public. Progent is one of the few service firms that makes CCIEs accessible to help small and mid-size companies. Also, Progent offers quick contact with a CCIE online so that you can get timely help for urgent network problems that are impacting business efficiency but are outside the experience of your ordinary IT maintenance providers. Progent's CCIE consultants can connect to your network via sophisticated on-line support technology in order to provide fast and economical analysis and remediation of urgent system trouble.
