Progent's focus on providing information technology expertise and computer support to small companies will offer you the chance to work closely with decision makers and add significantly to the success of exciting businesses.

Progent is looking for technical professionals that have verifiable certification in their special expertise. So, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have your Microsoft MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco experts, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For network security, you should have you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or one of the other leading security credentials. Naturally, Progent is aware of “paper MCSEs.” Nevertheless, the fact that a certificate does not guarantee expertise is no reason for not owning one. If you have mastered your stuff, then the majority of these certifications should present no challenge. The point is that if you are a professional, then clients deserve to see certifications. We can market your talents, but you need to provide standard credentials for Progent to work with. In case you happen to be strongly against the concept of certifications, Progent can sympathize with and respect your opinion, but you are likely not a good candidate.

Working with a Great Group of Network Consultants
Progent's business climate will allow you to become a more capable professional by improving your technical knowledge and boosting the satisfaction of your customers. Progent delivers on this promise by attracting the top professional talent for you to work with, providing an advanced system architecture, running proprietary software tools to enable the highest quality of service, and by optimizing proven business models for attracting and keeping customers.

The main factor that separates us from ordinary consulting firms is the quality of our consultants. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have joined us, we have assembled top talent across a broad array of technologies. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, network security, Apple, Linux/UNIX, VMware, or other crucial technologies, we engage professionals who can enable you to be effective on larger projects by combining the aggregate experience of Progent's team of experts.

To ensure the productivity of Progent's consultants, we invest significantly in making available the best tools to perform the work efficiently. Progent will exploit information technology to an impressive degree and our advanced virtual office environment enables effortless communications, collaboration, and information sharing with fellow Progent team members — all from at-home or on-the-road offices. You don’t waste time or forfeit income with daily drives to a physical office building, and all travel you do for on-site client jobs is determined by your own schedule, not Progent's. The best benefit is that most of Progent's support work can be done off-site, representing maximum efficiency for billable time. In practice, some Progent staff do off-site support only.

Progent's business structure is geared towards responding quickly and effectively to client requirements via knowledge exchange and collaborative problem solving. Even though Progent's consultants operate with a high level of freedom, dispatching is centralized, client issues and solutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and archived for convenient reference, up-to-date consultant schedules are published to facilitate team tasks and simplify trouble escalation, and customer satisfaction is always evaluated. We strengthen the feeling of connection via monthly workgroup meetings and quarterly company-wide events.

The majority of Progent's team is located across California, but we are attracting a rapidly expanding group of network professionals throughout the United States. Our virtual office infrastructure does away with regional obstacles that limit the productivity of conventional company structures. We enhance the package by offering a full employee care plan to promote the health and financial security of our employees and their families.

Just as we have world-class consulting professionals, our marketing and administration teams match the high standards that is Progent. These top-notch factors behind Progent’s success are helping us to identify and sign up the 50-60 new clients we are currently acquiring each month. We lately marked the delivery of support to our 1,000th customer. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also an effective marketing operation.

Having a passion for technical proficiency is a cornerstone for success with us. A career in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other job in network technology. Being confronted by a steady stream of network challenges is what makes consulting exciting. Clients choose consulting firms to do the toughest jobs. Innovative projects, leading-edge implementations, puzzling or chronic issues, and difficult migrations are the basis for what we do daily. With us, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is sadly typical for computer professionals in ordinary corporate jobs. You will awake every morning excited about the opportunities ahead.

Along the way, you will work with some wonderful folks, both by building close customer relationships and by operating in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and contribute to their success. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented company from top to bottom. If you do not have excellent communications skills or like working with a varied group of personalities, then Progent is probably not a good fit.

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