Career Work for Network Consultants, Desktop Service Technicians,
Security Experts, and Online Help Technicians
Progent is seeking to hire full-time, solutions-driven Microsoft certified consultants with Microsoft MCSE certification; Cisco certified network engineers who have Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA certification; security consultants with CISSP or comparable security certification; and advanced network architecture consultants with experience in mobile access, wireless connectivity, high availability, business continuity, information preservation, and VMware. Progent also is looking for professionals to work on our staff of help desk service technicians and off-site support experts. In addition, We are hiring experienced administrators able to operate effectively in Progent's high-growth, virtual office culture.

By maintaining a staff of talented and dedicated professionals, providing world-class client care, and offering a competitive value-based fee model, We have been able to increase our client base dramatically while delivering professional services to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office environment, a shared knowledge base, and a group strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to maintain a skilled consulting team and a loyal client base.

If you are a network consultant with technical support experience, teaming with Progent or helping Progent's clients will enhance your knowledge via interaction with our group of highly team-oriented, expert engineers. Progent's focus on delivering network consulting and technical help to small companies will offer you the chance to work closely with key players and add significantly to the success of exciting companies.

We are looking for consultants that can show verifiable credentials in their technical focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have earned your Microsoft MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco consultants, have your CCIE or CCNP certificate. For security, you should have you CISSP, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other leading security credentials. Of course, we are familiar with "paper experts". Still, the fact that a credential can not ensure expertise is no reason for not earning one. If you know your field, then the majority of these certifications should pose no challenge. The point is that if you call yourself a professional, then clients deserve to see credentials. We can market your skills, but you must provide a baseline of certifications for Progent to work with. If you happen to be strongly opposed to the idea of certifications, we can sympathize with and honor your opinion, but you are likely not an appropriate fit.

Progent delivers on this promise by recruiting the top professional talent for you to work with, offering an advanced network and communications infrastructure, running proprietary software utilities to enable the maximum quality of support, and by optimizing our operational structures for finding and keeping customers.

The main factor that distinguishes us from most network support companies is the quality of our support professionals. Out of the scores of consulting experts who have joined us, we have recruited top expertise across a wide array of technical areas. Whether it’s Microsoft Windows, Cisco firewalls, network security, Macintosh, Linux/UNIX, VMware, or other crucial areas, we deploy experts who can help you to be effective on larger projects by leveraging the aggregate experience of our team of professionals.

To ensure the success of our consultants, we invest significantly in making available the most powerful tools to perform the work properly. We will leverage technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure enables seamless communications, cooperation, and knowledge exchange with other Progent team members — entirely from home-based or on-the-road offices. You don’t waste time or lose income with daily drives to a conventional office, and any travel you do for in-person client jobs is determined by your own time table, not ours. The most attractive benefit is that most of our consulting work can be done off-site, representing 100% productivity for income-producing hours. In fact, some of our team members do off-site support exclusively.

Progent's business structure is set up for reacting quickly and effectively to customer needs through information sharing and collaborative problem resolution. Although Progent's engineers work with a high level of freedom, resource allocation is centralized, client problems and resolutions are meticulously monitored, documented, and archived for easy reference, current engineer availability is broadcast to streamline team tasks and simplify trouble escalation, and client satisfaction is always evaluated. We reinforce the sense of connection via periodic workgroup conferences and regular company-wide events.

Most of Progent's team is located across California, however Progent is attracting a rapidly growing team of network experts from across America. Progent's virtual office infrastructure does away with geographic obstacles that limit the efficiency of traditional company models. We complete the package by providing a full benefit plan to ensure the physical health and economic welfare of our team members and their families.

Just as we have awesome consultants, our sales and administration teams match the excellence that characterizes Progent. These high-performance contributors to our success are helping us to identify and land the scores of new customers we are currently engaging each month. We recently marked the providing of support to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why we are also an effective marketing organization.

Having a passion for technical proficiency is a cornerstone for growth with us. A career in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other job in network technology. Being confronted by a continual stream of network challenges is what makes consulting interesting. Clients choose consulting firms to do the toughest jobs. Innovative projects, leading-edge deployments, vexing or chronic problems, and difficult migrations are the basis for what we do every day. With us, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is all too common for network professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will awake every morning excited about the challenges to come.

Along the way, you will meet some wonderful people, both by establishing strong customer relationships and by working closely with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their growth. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented company heart and soul. If you do not offer strong communications skills or enjoy working with a diverse group of personalities, then we are probably not a good fit.

If this sounds good to you, we urge you to talk to Progent about our vision of the new paradigm of information technology consulting.
