Additional Facts About Jobs at Progent

Career Work for Network Consultants, Computer Service Specialists,
Security Experts, and Online Help Technicians
Progent wants to hire fulltime, results-oriented Microsoft certified consultants with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP certification; Cisco certified system consultants who have Cisco certification; security consultants who have CISSP, CISM, or CISA or comparable security certification; and advanced system design consultants with a background in mobile solutions, wireless networking, high availability, business continuity, information protection, and server virtualization. Progent also is hiring employees who can join our staff of help desk support specialists and off-site support experts. Also, We are seeking experienced managers able to operate effectively in our fast-paced, virtual office environment.

By supporting a staff of talented and motivated professionals, delivering attentive customer care, and offering a competitive value-focused fee model, Progent has managed to increase our customer list dramatically while providing professional support to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. An advanced virtual office environment, a shared information database, and a group approach to problem solving have allowed Progent to retain a talented consulting team and a satisfied customer base.

For an information technology professional with technical support experience, teaming with Progent or working for our clients will expand your knowledge through interaction with our group of mutually supportive, talented engineers. Our focus on delivering network consulting and computer support to small and midsize companies will give you the chance to collaborate intimately with decision makers and add appreciably to the success of exciting companies.

Progent is hiring technical professionals that have verifiable certification related to their special expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have earned your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certificate. In the case of Cisco experts, have your CCIE or CCNP certificate. For network security, you should have you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other leading security credentials. Naturally, we are familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Still, the fact that a certificate can not ensure expertise is no justification for not earning one. If you have mastered your field, then the majority of these certifications should be no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you call yourself a professional, then customers expect certifications. We will promote your talents, but you need to provide standard credentials for us to work with. If you happen to be adamantly opposed to the concept of certifications, Progent can understand and respect your position, but you are likely not a good fit.

Improve Your Abilities with Advanced Technology and
Joining a Great Group of Network Consultants
Progent's business climate will make you a better consultant by improving your technical skills and increasing the loyalty of your customers. Progent delivers on this promise by attracting the best consulting experts for you to operate with, offering a state-of-the-art network and communications infrastructure, running custom software tools to deliver the maximum level of support, and by optimizing our business models for attracting and keeping customers.

The most important factor that differentiates Progent from typical consulting companies is the excellence of our consulting team. Out of the scores of consultants who have teamed with Progent, we have assembled the best expertise covering a broad range of technical areas. Whether it’s Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Macintosh, Linux, server virtualization, or other vital application, we engage experts who can help you to be successful on major jobs by leveraging the aggregate skills of Progent's team of experts.

To ensure the success of Progent's consultants, we invest heavily in providing the best technology to do the job properly. Progent will leverage information technology to an impressive degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure enables effortless communications, cooperation, and information sharing with other Progent consultants — entirely from at-home or mobile offices. Consultants don’t throw away time or lose income with daily drives to a physical office, and any travel you do for in-person client jobs is based on your own time table, not ours. The most attractive part is that much of our consulting work can be performed remotely, representing maximum productivity for income-producing time. In fact, some of our team members do remote consulting exclusively.

Progent's business structure is set up for responding rapidly and effectively to client requirements through information exchange and cooperative problem resolution. Even though Progent's consultants work with a high level of independence, dispatching is centralized, customer problems and solutions are carefully tracked, documented, and archived for convenient retrieval, current consultant availability is broadcast to facilitate team projects and simplify trouble escalation, and client approval is always evaluated. We reinforce the sense of connection via monthly workgroup meetings and regular corporate events.

Most of our consultants are located across California, but we are building a rapidly expanding team of consulting professionals throughout the U.S. Our virtual office environment does away with regional obstacles that restrict the efficiency of traditional company structures. We enhance the deal by offering a comprehensive benefit plan to ensure the health and economic security of our team members and their families.

Just as we have awesome consultants, our sales and operations groups live up to the excellence that is Progent. These high-performance contributors to Progent’s growth are helping us to target and land the 50-60 new clients we are now engaging every month. Progent lately marked the providing of services to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why we are also an effective sales operation.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a key for success with us. A career in consulting will push you to learn more than you would in any other job in network technology. Being exposed to a steady stream of technical challenges is what keeps consulting interesting. Customers choose consultants to perform the toughest jobs. Creative projects, advanced deployments, puzzling or entrenched problems, and tricky migrations are the foundation for what we do daily. At Progent, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is sadly typical for network engineers in traditional corporate jobs. You will awake every day excited about the opportunities ahead.

On the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by building close customer relationships and by operating closely with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and contribute to their growth. Of course, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented company heart and soul. If you do not offer strong people skills or like cooperating with a varied group of people, then Progent is in all likelihood not a good fit.

If this sounds right for you, we invite you to contact us about our view of the future of network consulting.
