Additional Facts About Work at Progent

Fulltime Work for Network Engineers, Computer Service Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Remote Help Technicians
Progent wants to hire full-time, solutions-driven Microsoft certified engineers with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP certification; Cisco certified system consultants who have CCIE certification; security consultants with CISSP or equivalent security credentials; and high-end system architecture experts with a background in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, high uptime, workplace recovery, information preservation, and virtual servers. Progent also is hiring professionals who can work on our staff of desktop support specialists and remote troubleshooting professionals. Also, We are looking for talented managers who can operate productively in our fast-paced, virtual office culture.

By maintaining a team of skilled and dedicated consultants, providing world-class client services, and offering a competitive results-based pricing model, We have managed to expand our customer list rapidly while delivering professional support to numerous companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. An advanced virtual office environment, a shared information database, and a team approach to problem solving have allowed Progent to maintain a skilled consulting team and a loyal customer list.

If you are a network consultant with troubleshooting experience, teaming with Progent or helping our customers will enhance your knowledge through cooperation with our staff of mutually supportive, talented consultants. Our focus on providing information technology consulting and technical support to small and midsize companies will give you the opportunity to collaborate closely with key players and add significantly to the success of dynamic companies.

We are looking for technical professionals who can show recognized credentials related to their special expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have earned your Microsoft MCSE credential. For Cisco professionals, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP credential. For security, you should have earned you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or other top security certifications. Of course, Progent is familiar with “paper MCSEs.” However, simply because a certificate does not guarantee excellence is no justification for not owning one. If you have mastered your stuff, then the majority of these tests should be no challenge. The bottom line is that if you are a professional, then clients deserve to see certifications. Progent will promote your skills, but you should provide basic credentials for Progent to work with. If you stand strongly against the concept of credentials, Progent can sympathize with and respect your opinion, but you are likely not an appropriate candidate.

Working with the Top Team of Computer Engineers
Progent's productive atmosphere will allow you to become a more capable consulting professional by enhancing your technical skills and boosting the satisfaction of your clients. Progent delivers on this promise by recruiting the top professional experts for you to operate with, providing a state-of-the-art system architecture, using specialized application utilities to deliver the maximum level of service, and by optimizing proven business models for finding and keeping customers.

The main factor that separates Progent from typical consulting companies is the high quality of our service staff. Out of the 50 or so consulting experts who have joined us, we have recruited top expertise across a wide range of technical areas. Whether it’s Microsoft servers, Cisco switches, network security, Apple, Linux/UNIX, VMware, or other crucial areas, we engage experts who can help you to be effective on major projects by combining the collective skills of Progent's group of experts.

To promote the success of our team, we invest significantly in providing the most powerful tools to perform the job properly. We will leverage information technology to an extraordinary extent and our advanced virtual office environment enables seamless communications, collaboration, and information sharing with other Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or mobile offices. You don’t throw away time or lose income with daily commutes to a conventional office, and any travel you do for on-site customer jobs is determined by your time table, not ours. The most attractive benefit is that most of Progent's consulting services can be performed remotely, offering maximum productivity for income-producing time. In fact, some of our staff do remote consulting exclusively.

Progent's business structure is geared towards responding quickly and efficiently to customer requirements via knowledge exchange and collaborative problem solving. Although our engineers operate with a high level of independence, dispatching is centralized, customer issues and resolutions are meticulously tracked, recorded, and archived for easy reference, current engineer schedules are broadcast to facilitate team projects and enable trouble escalation, and customer approval is continually monitored. We strengthen the feeling of connection through periodic workgroup meetings and quarterly company-wide events.

Most of our team is situated across California, however Progent is building a quickly expanding team of network professionals from across the U.S. Our virtual office infrastructure does away with regional obstacles that restrict the efficiency of traditional company structures. We enhance the package by providing a comprehensive benefit program to promote the physical health and financial security of our employees and their relations.

Not only do we have awesome consultants, our marketing and administration groups live up to the excellence that defines Progent. These top-notch contributors to Progent’s growth are enabling us to identify and land the 50-60 new customers we are now engaging every month. We lately celebrated the providing of services to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why we are also a strong sales operation.

Possessing a passion for technical proficiency is a key for success with Progent. A job in consulting will drive you to learn more than you would in any other job in information technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of network challenges is what keeps consulting interesting. Clients choose consultants to perform the “hard stuff.” Innovative projects, advanced implementations, puzzling or chronic problems, and difficult migrations are the basis for what we do daily. With us, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is sadly common for computer engineers in traditional corporate roles. You will wake up every day excited about the challenges to come.

On the way, you will meet some wonderful people, both by building strong client contacts and by working closely with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and add to their growth. Yes, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-oriented organization from top to bottom. If you don’t offer strong people skills or enjoy working with a diverse group of personalities, then Progent is in all likelihood a poor match.

If all this sounds good to you, we urge you to talk to us about our view of the new paradigm of network consulting.
