Progent is looking for technical professionals who have verifiable credentials in their technical expertise.

For security, you should show you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or other top security certifications.

If you have mastered your stuff, then most of those certifications should be no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you are a professional, then customers deserve to see credentials. Progent will broadcast your talents, but you should provide standard credentials for Progent to work with.

Enhance Your Abilities with the Best Technology and
Working with the Top Group of Network Engineers
Progent's business climate will allow you to become a more capable consulting professional by enhancing your technical skills and boosting the loyalty of your customers. Progent makes good on this promise by attracting the best professional experts for you to work with, providing an advanced network and communications architecture, using specialized application tools to enable the maximum quality of support, and by optimizing our business models for finding and keeping clients.

The most important factor that separates us from most consulting firms is the high caliber of our service staff. Out of the 50 or so consulting experts who have teamed with Progent, we have recruited the best talent across a wide array of technical areas. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, corporate security, Apple, Linux, virtual servers, or other key areas, we deploy experts who can enable you to be successful on major jobs by leveraging the aggregate skills of our team of professionals.

To ensure the success of our consultants, we invest significantly in providing the best technology to perform the work properly. Progent will leverage technology to an impressive degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment enables effortless connectivity, collaboration, and information sharing with fellow Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or mobile offices. You don’t throw away time or forfeit revenue because of daily drives to a conventional office, and any driving you do for in-person client jobs is determined by your own schedule, not Progent's. The best part is that much of Progent's support services can be performed remotely, offering 100% efficiency for income-producing time. In fact, some of our staff do off-site consulting only.

Our operations are geared towards reacting quickly and effectively to customer requirements via knowledge sharing and collaborative problem resolution. Although Progent's consultants work with a high level of independence, resource allocation is centralized, client problems and solutions are meticulously monitored, recorded, and archived for convenient reference, up-to-date engineer availability is published to facilitate group tasks and simplify problem escalation, and customer approval is always evaluated. We reinforce the feeling of cooperation via monthly workgroup meetings and quarterly corporate events.

Most of our consultants are situated across California, but Progent is attracting a quickly expanding team of consulting experts from across the United States. Progent's virtual office infrastructure eliminates geographic boundaries that restrict the efficiency of traditional business models. We complete the package by offering a comprehensive employee care plan to ensure the health and economic security of our team members and their families.

Just as we have awesome consulting professionals, Progent's marketing and administration teams live up to the excellence that characterizes Progent. These high-performance factors behind Progent’s success are helping us to identify and land the 50-60 new customers we are now acquiring every month. We recently celebrated the providing of support to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also a strong sales organization.

Having a commitment to technical excellence is a key for growth with us. A job in consulting will drive you to learn more than you would in any other job in network technology. Being exposed to a steady series of network challenges is what keeps consulting exciting. Clients rely on consultants to do the “hard stuff.” Innovative tasks, advanced deployments, puzzling or chronic issues, and tricky migrations are the foundation for what we do daily. With us, you will not stagnate or be pigeonholed, as is all too typical for computer engineers in ordinary corporate jobs. You will wake up every morning enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.

On the way, you will meet some wonderful folks, both by building close customer relationships and by operating closely with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Yes, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented company heart and soul. If you don’t offer strong people skills or like working with a diverse assortment of people, then we are in all likelihood a poor fit.

If this sounds good to you, we urge you to contact Progent about our view of the future of network consulting.
