Details About Work with Us

Fulltime Work for Network Engineers, Computer Support Technicians,
Security Experts, and Online Support Professionals
Progent wants to find fulltime, solutions-oriented Microsoft accredited engineers with MCSE or MCP credentials; Cisco certified system engineers with Cisco certification; security consultants who have CISSP, CISM, or CISA or equivalent security credentials; and high-end system design experts with experience in mobile access, wireless networking, service continuity, workplace recovery, information preservation, and VMware. Progent also seeks employees to join Progent's staff of helpdesk support technicians and off-site support professionals. Also, We are seeking talented administrators able to perform productively in Progent's high-growth, virtual office culture.

By maintaining a team of talented and dedicated consultants, delivering world-class customer services, and offering a competitive results-based fee model, Progent has managed to increase our customer base dramatically while providing professional services to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office environment, a common information database, and a team strategy for problem solving have helped Progent to retain a talented staff and a loyal customer list.

For an information technology professional with troubleshooting experience, joining Progent or working for Progent's customers will expand your skills via interaction with our staff of mutually team-oriented, talented consultants. Progent's focus on delivering network expertise and technical support to small companies will give you the chance to work intimately with decision makers and add appreciably to the growth of dynamic businesses.

Progent is looking for consultants who have recognized credentials in their technical focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have your Microsoft MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco experts, have your CCIE or CCNP credential. For network security, you should show you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISM, or one of the other leading security certifications. Of course, Progent is aware of “paper MCSEs.” Notwithstanding, simply because a certificate does not guarantee expertise is no excuse for not having one. If you know your field, then most of these certifications should be no challenge. The bottom line is that if you represent yourself to be an expert, then customers expect certifications. Progent can promote your skills, but you should provide a baseline of certifications for us to work with. If you are adamantly against the idea of certifications, Progent can sympathize with and respect your position, but you are likely not a good fit.

Contract Work for premier Experts for

Improve Your Skills with Advanced Technology and
Joining the Top Group of Computer Engineers
Progent's business climate will make you a better professional by enhancing your information technology skills and boosting the satisfaction of your customers. Progent makes good on this commitment by recruiting the best professional experts for you to work with, providing a state-of-the-art network and communications architecture, using proprietary software utilities to enable the maximum quality of support, and by streamlining our operational structures for finding and maintaining clients.

The most important factor that differentiates Progent from most network support companies is the high caliber of our support professionals. Among the 50 or so consultants who have teamed with us, we have assembled the best expertise across a wide array of technologies. Whether it's Microsoft Windows, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Macintosh, Linux, server virtualization, or other key application, we engage professionals who can enable you to be effective on major projects by combining the collective experience of our group of experts.

To ensure the success of our team, we invest significantly in making available the best tools to do the job efficiently. We will leverage technology to an impressive degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment allows effortless connectivity, collaboration, and knowledge sharing with other Progent team members — all from at-home or mobile offices. Consultants don't waste time or forfeit revenue because of daily drives to a conventional office, and all driving you do for on-site customer jobs is determined by your own schedule, not ours. The best benefit is that most of our consulting work can be done remotely, representing maximum productivity for income-producing hours. In practice, some Progent staff do remote consulting only.

Our operations are set up for reacting quickly and effectively to customer requirements via information sharing and cooperative problem solving. Even though Progent's engineers work with a great deal of freedom, dispatching is centralized, customer problems and solutions are carefully tracked, recorded, and organized for convenient reference, up-to-date engineer schedules are published to facilitate group projects and simplify trouble escalation, and client approval is continually monitored. We strengthen the feeling of cooperation through monthly team meetings and regular company-wide events.

Most of Progent's team is situated across California, however we are building a rapidly expanding group of network professionals from across America. Progent's virtual office infrastructure eliminates regional boundaries that limit the productivity of conventional company models. We complete the deal by offering a comprehensive benefit program to ensure the physical health and economic security of our team members and their families.

Just as we have world-class consulting professionals, Progent's sales and operations teams match the excellence that characterizes Progent. These high-performance factors behind Progent's success are enabling us to identify and sign up the 50-60 new customers we are currently acquiring every month. Progent recently celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th customer. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why we are also a strong marketing operation.

Possessing a passion for technical proficiency is a cornerstone for success with Progent. A career in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other position in network technology. Being exposed to a continual series of technical challenges is what keeps professional support interesting. Customers choose consulting firms to do the toughest jobs. Creative projects, advanced deployments, puzzling or entrenched issues, and tricky migrations are the foundation for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is sadly typical for computer professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will awake every day enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

On the way, you will meet some wonderful people, both by establishing close client relationships and by working closely with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Yes, technology is vital, but we are a relationship-oriented organization heart and soul. If you do not offer strong communications skills or like working with a varied group of personalities, then Progent is probably a poor fit.

If this seems right for you, we invite you to contact Progent about our vision of the future of network consulting.
