Career Work for Network Consultants, Computer Support Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Online Support Technicians
Progent is seeking to find staff-level, solutions-driven Microsoft accredited engineers with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP credentials; Cisco certified system engineers with CCIE credentials; security consultants who have CISSP or comparable security credentials; and advanced system design consultants with experience in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, high availability, business continuity, information preservation, and server virtualization. Progent also is hiring employees to work on Progent's staff of helpdesk support technicians and off-site troubleshooting professionals. Also, Progent is seeking talented administrators able to operate effectively in our high-growth, virtual office culture.

By supporting a team of talented and motivated consultants, delivering attentive customer services, and following a strong results-based pricing structure, Progent has been able to increase our client base dramatically while delivering consulting services to numerous companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the U.S. An advanced virtual office network, a shared information database, and a group approach to problem solving have allowed Progent to maintain a skilled consulting team and a satisfied customer base.

If you are a network professional with technical support expertise, joining Progent or working for our clients can expand your knowledge through interaction with Progent's staff of highly supportive, expert consultants. Progent's commitment to providing information technology expertise and technical support to small and midsize organizations will give you the chance to work intimately with key players and contribute significantly to the growth of dynamic businesses.

We are looking for technical professionals who have verifiable certification related to their special focus. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have earned your MCSE certificate. For Cisco professionals, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP certificate. For security, you should have you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, CISA, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other leading security credentials. Of course, we are aware of “paper MCSEs.” Still, the fact that a credential does not ensure excellence is no justification for not having one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of those certifications should present no great difficulty. The bottom line is that if you represent yourself to be a professional, then customers deserve to see credentials. We will broadcast your talents, but you need to provide basic credentials for Progent to market. If you stand strongly against the concept of credentials, Progent can understand and honor your opinion, but you are likely not a good fit.

Enhance Your Abilities with the Best Technology and
Joining a Great Team of Computer Consultants
Progent's company culture will make you a more capable consulting professional by enhancing your information technology skills and boosting the loyalty of your clients. Progent delivers on this commitment by attracting the top professional experts for you to operate with, providing an advanced network and communications architecture, using proprietary application tools to deliver the highest quality of service, and by streamlining our business models for attracting and retaining customers.

The decisive factor that distinguishes Progent from other network support companies is the high caliber of our consulting team. Among the 50 or so consulting experts who have joined us, we have assembled the best expertise across a wide range of technologies. Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, corporate security, Apple, Linux, server virtualization, or other crucial application, we engage professionals who can help you to be effective on larger projects by combining the aggregate experience of Progent's team of experts.

To promote the productivity of Progent's consultants, we invest heavily in providing the most powerful technology to perform the work properly. We will leverage technology to an impressive degree and our advanced virtual office infrastructure allows effortless communications, collaboration, and knowledge exchange with other Progent consultants — all from home-based or mobile offices. Consultants don’t waste time or lose revenue because of daily drives to a conventional office, and all driving you do for on-site client jobs is based on your own schedule, not ours. The most attractive benefit is that much of Progent's consulting services can be done remotely, offering 100% efficiency for billable time. In practice, some Progent team members do off-site consulting exclusively.

Progent's operations are set up for reacting rapidly and efficiently to customer needs via information sharing and collaborative problem resolution. Although our engineers operate with a great deal of independence, dispatching is centralized, client issues and resolutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and archived for convenient reference, up-to-date consultant schedules are broadcast to streamline team projects and enable trouble escalation, and client approval is continually evaluated. We strengthen the sense of connection via periodic workgroup meetings and quarterly company-wide events.

Most of Progent's team is situated throughout California, but we are building a quickly expanding team of network professionals throughout America. Progent's virtual office infrastructure eliminates geographic obstacles that restrict the efficiency of traditional business structures. We enhance the package by offering a comprehensive employee care program to promote the physical health and financial security of our team members and their relations.

Just as we have world-class consultants, Progent's sales and operations teams match the high standards that characterizes Progent. These high-performance contributors to Progent’s growth are enabling us to identify and land the scores of new clients we are currently acquiring each month. Progent recently celebrated the delivery of support to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why we are also a strong sales organization.

Having a commitment to technical proficiency is a cornerstone for growth with us. A career in consulting will push you to learn more than you would in any other position in information technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of network challenges is what makes consulting interesting. Customers choose consulting firms to do the “hard stuff.” Creative projects, advanced deployments, vexing or chronic issues, and tricky upgrades are the foundation for what we do daily. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be pigeonholed, as is all too typical for computer professionals in ordinary corporate jobs. You will awake every morning excited about the challenges ahead.

Along the way, you will work with some wonderful people, both by establishing strong customer relationships and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and add to their growth. Of course, technology is important, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization heart and soul. If you don’t have strong people skills or like working with a diverse group of people, then Progent is probably a poor match.

If this seems good to you, we invite you to talk to Progent about our view of the new paradigm of network consulting.
