Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, corporate security, Mac, Linux, server virtualization, or other crucial technologies, we engage professionals who can enable you to be effective on major projects by leveraging the aggregate experience of Progent's group of professionals.

To promote 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 impressive extent and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure enables effortless connectivity, collaboration, and information exchange with other Progent consultants — all from at-home or on-the-road offices. You don’t throw away time or forfeit income because of regular commutes to a conventional office, and any driving you do for in-person client work is determined by your time table, not ours. The most attractive part is that most of our consulting services can be done off-site, offering maximum productivity for billable hours. In fact, some of our team members do off-site support exclusively.

Progent's operations are set up for reacting rapidly and effectively to customer needs via information exchange and cooperative problem resolution. Even though our engineers work with a great deal of independence, dispatching is centralized, customer issues and solutions are carefully monitored, documented, and organized for easy retrieval, up-to-date consultant availability is broadcast to streamline group projects and enable problem escalation, and customer approval is continually evaluated. We strengthen the feeling of connection through monthly workgroup conferences and regular company-wide events.

Most of our team is situated throughout California, but Progent is building a quickly expanding group of consulting professionals from across the United States.

These high-performance contributors to Progent’s growth are enabling us to target and land the 50-60 new clients we are now engaging every month. We recently marked the delivery of support to our 1,000th client.

Possessing a passion for technical proficiency is a cornerstone for growth with us. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than is possible in any other job in information technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of network challenges is what keeps consulting interesting. Customers choose a consultant to perform the “hard stuff.” Creative projects, advanced implementations, vexing or entrenched issues, and difficult upgrades are the basis for what we do daily. With us, you will not stagnate or be pigeonholed, as is sadly common for computer engineers in ordinary corporate roles. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead.

On the way, you will meet some great folks, both by building close client contacts and by working closely with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and add to their growth. Yes, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization heart and soul. If you do not offer strong communications skills or enjoy cooperating with a varied assortment of people, then Progent is probably not a good match.

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