Progent's focus on delivering network consulting and technical support to small and midsize organizations will give you the opportunity to work intimately with decision makers and add appreciably to the success of dynamic companies.

We are looking for consultants who can show recognized credentials in their special expertise. So, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have earned your Microsoft MCSE certificate.

Of course, Progent is aware of “paper MCSEs.” Nevertheless, the fact that a credential can not guarantee expertise is no excuse for not having one. If you know your stuff, then most of those certifications should present no great difficulty. The point is that if you call yourself an expert, then clients expect certifications. We will promote your talents, but you need to have basic credentials for us to work with. If you stand strongly against the concept of certifications, Progent can sympathize with and honor your opinion, but you are probably not an appropriate candidate.

Improve Your Abilities with Advanced Technology and
Working with a Great Team of Computer Engineers
Progent's work environment will make you a more capable consultant by enhancing your technical skills and increasing the satisfaction of your customers. Progent delivers on this commitment by attracting the best consulting talent for you to work with, providing a state-of-the-art network and communications infrastructure, using proprietary application tools to enable the maximum quality of support, and by optimizing our operational structures for attracting and keeping clients.

The main factor that differentiates Progent from most network support companies is the quality of our consulting team. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have joined Progent, we have assembled the best talent covering a broad array of technologies. Be it Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Apple, Linux/UNIX, virtual servers, or other vital technologies, we engage experts who can enable you to be successful on major jobs by combining the aggregate skills of Progent's team of professionals.

To ensure the productivity of our team, we invest significantly in providing the most powerful technology to do the work properly. Progent will exploit information technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure enables seamless connectivity, collaboration, and information exchange with fellow Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or mobile offices. You don’t throw away time or lose income because of regular commutes to a physical office, and all driving you do for in-person client work is based on your time table, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that much of Progent's consulting work can be performed remotely, offering maximum efficiency for billable time. In fact, some of our team members do remote consulting only.

Our business structure is set up for reacting quickly and effectively to customer requirements through information exchange and cooperative problem solving. Even though Progent's engineers operate with a high level of independence, resource allocation is centralized, customer issues and resolutions are meticulously tracked, recorded, and archived for easy reference, up-to-date consultant availability is broadcast to facilitate team tasks and simplify trouble escalation, and customer satisfaction is continually evaluated. We reinforce the feeling of cooperation via monthly workgroup conferences and regular corporate events.

The majority of our team is located across California, but Progent is building a rapidly growing team of network professionals from across the U.S. Progent's virtual office infrastructure eliminates geographic boundaries that restrict the efficiency of conventional company models. We complete the package by offering a comprehensive benefit program to ensure the health and economic security of our team members and their relations.

Not only do we have world-class consultants, our sales and administration teams match the excellence that defines Progent. These high-performance factors behind Progent’s growth are helping us to target and land the scores of new clients we are now engaging every month. We lately celebrated the delivery of support to our 1,000th customer. Just type “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also a strong marketing operation.

Possessing a commitment to technical proficiency is a key for growth with us. A job in consulting will drive you to learn more than you would in any other position in information technology. Being exposed to a continual series of technical challenges is what makes professional support interesting. Customers rely on consultants to perform the “hard stuff.” Creative tasks, advanced implementations, vexing or entrenched problems, and difficult upgrades are the basis for what we do daily. With us, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is all too common for network professionals in ordinary corporate roles. You will awake every day excited about the challenges ahead.

On the way, you will meet some great folks, both by building strong client contacts and by operating in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and add to their success. Yes, technology is vital, but we are a relationship-oriented organization from top to bottom. If you do not offer excellent people skills or enjoy cooperating with a varied assortment of people, then we are in all likelihood not a good fit.

If all this sounds right for you, we invite you to contact Progent about our view of the new paradigm of network consulting.
