Details Concerning Opportunities with Us

Staff Jobs for Network Consultants, Computer Service Specialists,
Security Experts, and Remote Help Professionals
Progent is seeking to hire staff-level, solutions-driven Microsoft certified consultants with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP credentials; Cisco certified network engineers who have Cisco certification; security consultants who have CISSP or equivalent security certification; and high-end network architecture consultants with a background in mobile solutions, wireless networking, high uptime, workplace recovery, data preservation, and VMware.

We are hiring technical professionals that have verifiable credentials in their special focus.

Of course, Progent is familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Nevertheless, simply because a credential can not guarantee excellence is no reason for not earning one. If you have mastered your stuff, then the majority of these tests should present no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you are a professional, then clients deserve to see certifications. We can promote your talents, but you must have standard credentials for Progent to work with. In case you stand adamantly against the concept of credentials, we can sympathize with and respect your opinion, but you are probably not an appropriate fit.

Improve Your Abilities with the Best Technology and
Joining a Great Team of Network Consultants
Progent's business climate will allow you to become a more capable consultant by enhancing your information technology skills and boosting the satisfaction of your clients. Progent delivers on this commitment by recruiting the top professional experts for you to operate with, offering a state-of-the-art network and communications infrastructure, using proprietary application utilities to enable the maximum level of service, and by optimizing proven operational models for finding and maintaining customers.

The main factor that separates Progent from ordinary network support firms is the excellence of our consulting team. Among the scores of consultants who have joined us, we have assembled top expertise covering a wide range of technologies. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco switches, network security, Macintosh, Linux/UNIX, VMware, or other vital technologies, we deploy experts who can help you to be effective on larger jobs by leveraging the collective experience of Progent's group of professionals.

To ensure the productivity of Progent's consultants, we invest heavily in making available the most powerful tools to do the work efficiently. We will exploit information technology to an impressive degree and our advanced virtual office environment allows seamless communications, collaboration, and knowledge exchange with fellow Progent team members — entirely from at-home or mobile offices. Consultants don't throw away time or forfeit income because of daily commutes to a conventional office, and all travel you do for in-person client work is based on your own time table, not Progent's. The best benefit is that most of our support services can be performed off-site, offering maximum productivity for income-producing hours. In practice, some of our team members do remote support exclusively.

Our business structure is set up for reacting quickly and efficiently to client needs through knowledge exchange and cooperative problem resolution. Although our engineers operate with a high level of independence, dispatching is centralized, client issues and resolutions are carefully monitored, documented, and organized for easy reference, current consultant availability is broadcast to facilitate group tasks and simplify problem escalation, and customer satisfaction is continually evaluated. We reinforce the feeling of cooperation through periodic workgroup meetings and quarterly corporate events.

The majority of Progent's team is situated across California, but we are attracting a quickly growing group of network professionals throughout the United States. Our virtual office infrastructure does away with geographic obstacles that limit the productivity of conventional business structures. We complete the package by offering a full employee care program to promote the health and economic security of our team members and their relations.

Just as we have world-class consultants, Progent's marketing and operations teams match the high standards that defines Progent. These high-performance contributors to Progent's success are enabling us to identify and land the scores of new customers we are currently engaging each month. Progent lately marked the providing of services to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why we are also a strong marketing organization.

Having a commitment to technical excellence is a key for success with Progent. A job in consulting will push you to learn more than you would in any other position in information technology. Being exposed to a steady stream of network challenges is what makes consulting exciting. Clients choose consulting firms to do the toughest jobs. Innovative projects, advanced implementations, vexing or entrenched issues, and difficult migrations are the foundation for our services every day. With us, you will not stall or be narrowly defined, as is sadly common for network professionals in traditional corporate jobs. You will awake every morning enthusiastic about the challenges to come.

Along the way, you will meet some great people, both by building close customer contacts and by working in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-oriented company from top to bottom. If you don't offer strong people skills or like working with a diverse group of personalities, then we are probably a poor match.

If all this seems right for you, we urge you to talk to Progent about our vision of the new paradigm of information technology consulting.
