Security Experts, and Remote Help Professionals

For a network professional with troubleshooting experience, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's customers will expand your skills via cooperation with our group of mutually supportive, talented consultants. Progent's commitment to delivering network consulting and technical help to small and midsize organizations will give you the opportunity to work closely with decision makers and add significantly to the success of exciting companies.

Progent is looking for consultants who have recognized certification in their technical expertise. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have your MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco professionals, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For network security, you should have you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or one of the other top security certifications. Naturally, Progent is aware of “paper MCSEs.” Still, the fact that a credential can not guarantee excellence is no reason for not having one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of these certifications should pose no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you are an expert, then customers expect credentials. Progent can market your talents, but you should have a baseline of certifications for us to market. If you stand adamantly against the concept of certifications, we can sympathize with and respect your opinion, but you are likely not a good candidate.

Progent delivers on this commitment by attracting the best consulting talent for you to operate with, offering an advanced network and communications architecture, running custom application tools to enable the highest quality of support, and by streamlining our operational structures for attracting and maintaining customers.

The decisive factor that differentiates us from other network support companies is the excellence of our consulting team.

Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, network security, Macintosh, Linux/UNIX, virtual servers, or other crucial areas, we engage experts who can help you to be effective on larger projects by leveraging the aggregate experience of Progent's team of professionals.

To promote the success of our consultants, we invest heavily in making available the most powerful tools to do the work efficiently. We will exploit information technology to an extraordinary degree and our advanced virtual office environment allows effortless connectivity, collaboration, and information exchange with other Progent consultants — all from home-based or mobile offices. You don’t throw away time or forfeit revenue with regular commutes to a conventional office, and any driving you do for in-person client jobs is determined by your own schedule, not ours. The most attractive benefit is that most of Progent's consulting work can be done off-site, representing 100% productivity for billable time. In practice, some of our team members do remote consulting exclusively.

Progent's operations are set up for reacting rapidly and effectively to client needs via information exchange and collaborative problem solving. Although our engineers operate with a great deal of freedom, resource allocation is unified, client problems and resolutions are meticulously monitored, recorded, and organized for easy retrieval, up-to-date consultant schedules are broadcast to streamline team projects and enable trouble escalation, and customer approval is always evaluated. We reinforce the sense of cooperation via monthly team meetings and regular company-wide events.

Most of Progent's consultants are located throughout California, however we are attracting a rapidly expanding team of consulting experts throughout the U.S. Our virtual office infrastructure does away with regional obstacles that limit the efficiency of traditional company structures. We enhance the deal by offering a full employee care program to promote the physical health and economic welfare of our team members and their relations.

These high-performance factors behind Progent’s growth are helping us to target and sign up the 50-60 new customers we are now acquiring every month. Progent lately celebrated the delivery of support to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also an effective marketing operation.

Having a passion for technical excellence is a cornerstone for success with us. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other position in information technology. Being confronted by a steady stream of technical challenges is what keeps professional support interesting. Customers rely on consulting firms to perform the “hard stuff.” Innovative projects, leading-edge deployments, puzzling or chronic issues, and difficult migrations are the foundation for our services daily. With us, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly common for network engineers in ordinary corporate roles. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the opportunities to come.

On the way, you will meet some wonderful folks, both by building strong client relationships and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their growth. Yes, technology is vital, but we are a relationship-focused organization through and through. If you don’t offer strong communications skills or like working with a varied assortment of personalities, then Progent is in all likelihood a poor match.

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