Security Consultants, and Online Support Professionals

Our commitment to delivering information technology expertise and computer support to small and midsize companies will offer you the chance to work intimately with decision makers and contribute appreciably to the growth of exciting businesses.

Progent is looking for consultants that have verifiable certification related to their technical expertise. So, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have earned your MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco experts, have your CCIE or CCNP credential. For security, you should have earned you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other top security certifications. Of course, Progent is familiar with "paper experts". However, the fact that a credential can not ensure expertise is no excuse for not owning one. If you know your stuff, then the majority of these certifications should be no challenge. The point is that if you represent yourself to be a professional, then clients deserve to see credentials. We can promote your talents, but you should have basic credentials for us to market. In case you stand strongly opposed to the idea of certifications, Progent can sympathize with and respect your position, but you are probably not a good candidate.

Progent's business structure is set up for responding quickly and effectively to customer needs through knowledge sharing and cooperative problem resolution.
