More Information Concerning Work at Progent

Fulltime Jobs for Network Engineers, Desktop Service Specialists,
Security Experts, and Online Help Professionals
Progent wants to hire staff-level, results-driven Microsoft certified engineers with Microsoft MCSE, MCSA, or MCP certification; Cisco certified network engineers who have Cisco CCIE, CCNP, or CCNA certification; security consultants with CISSP or equivalent security credentials; and high-end network design experts with experience in mobile access, wireless networking, service continuity, business continuity, data preservation, and server virtualization. Progent also seeks employees who can work on our team of desktop support technicians and off-site troubleshooting experts. In addition, We are looking for experienced administrators able to operate productively in our high-growth, virtual office environment.

By supporting a staff of talented and dedicated professionals, providing world-class client care, and offering a strong value-focused fee structure, Progent has been able to increase our customer list dramatically while delivering consulting support to numerous companies in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office network, a shared information base, and a team approach to problem resolution have allowed Progent to maintain a talented staff and a loyal customer base.

For an information technology professional with troubleshooting experience, teaming with Progent or working for Progent's clients can expand your skills through interaction with our group of highly team-oriented, talented consultants. Our commitment to providing information technology consulting and technical support to small organizations will offer you the chance to work intimately with key players and contribute appreciably to the growth of exciting businesses.

We are looking for consultants who can show verifiable credentials in their technical expertise. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have your Microsoft MCSE credential. For Cisco professionals, have your CCIE or Cisco Certified Network Professional certificate. For security, you should show you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other leading security certifications. Of course, we are aware of "paper experts". Nevertheless, simply because a credential does not ensure excellence is no excuse for not owning one. If you know your field, then the majority of those certifications should pose no challenge. The bottom line is that if you are a professional, then customers expect credentials. Progent will promote your talents, but you need to have standard certifications for Progent to work with. In case you stand strongly against the concept of certifications, Progent can understand and honor your position, but you are probably not a good fit.

The decisive factor that differentiates us from typical network support firms is the high quality of our service staff. Among the scores of consulting experts who have teamed with us, we have assembled top talent across a broad array of technologies. Whether it’s Microsoft Windows, Cisco switches, network security, Mac, Linux, VMware, or other vital technologies, we engage professionals who can help you to be successful on larger jobs by leveraging the collective skills of Progent's team of professionals.

To promote the productivity of our team, we invest heavily in providing the best technology to perform the job efficiently. We will leverage technology to an extraordinary extent and our advanced virtual office environment enables seamless communications, cooperation, and information sharing with fellow Progent team members — entirely from at-home or mobile offices. You don’t waste time or forfeit income because of daily drives to a physical office, and all driving you do for on-site client jobs is based on your schedule, not Progent's. The best part is that much of our consulting work can be done off-site, representing maximum efficiency for billable time. In fact, some of our staff do off-site consulting only.

Progent's business structure is geared towards reacting rapidly and effectively to client needs via knowledge exchange and cooperative problem solving. Even though Progent's consultants operate with a high level of freedom, dispatching is unified, client issues and solutions are carefully monitored, documented, and archived for easy reference, up-to-date consultant availability is broadcast to facilitate team projects and enable trouble escalation, and customer approval is always evaluated. We strengthen the feeling of connection through monthly workgroup meetings and regular company-wide events.

The majority of Progent's consultants are situated throughout California, but we are building a quickly expanding group of consulting experts throughout the U.S. Our virtual office infrastructure eliminates geographic obstacles that limit the productivity of conventional company models. We complete the package by offering a comprehensive employee care plan to promote the health and financial welfare of our employees and their families.

These high-performance contributors to our success are enabling us to target and sign up the scores of new customers we are now engaging each month. We lately celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th client. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also an effective sales operation.

Possessing a commitment to technical proficiency is a cornerstone for success with Progent. A career in consulting will drive you to learn more than is possible in any other position in information technology. Being confronted by a continual stream of technical challenges is what keeps professional support exciting. Customers choose a consultant to do the toughest jobs. Creative tasks, leading-edge implementations, puzzling or chronic issues, and difficult upgrades are the basis for what we do daily. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is all too common for computer professionals in traditional corporate jobs. You will awake every day excited about the opportunities to come.

Along the way, you will meet some great people, both by building strong customer contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and contribute to their success. Yes, technology is important, but we are a relationship-oriented organization through and through. If you do not offer strong people skills or enjoy cooperating with a diverse group of people, then we are probably not a good match.

If all this sounds good to you, we urge you to talk to Progent about our view of the future of network consulting.
