Additional Facts Concerning Work at Progent

Career Work for Network Engineers, Desktop Service Specialists,
Security Experts, and Online Support Technicians
Progent is seeking to hire full-time, solutions-oriented Microsoft certified consultants with Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certification; Cisco accredited system consultants who have CCIE credentials; security professionals with CISA or equivalent security credentials; and high-end network design consultants with a background in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, fault tolerance, business continuity, information preservation, and VMware. Progent also seeks professionals who can work on Progent's staff of help desk service specialists and remote troubleshooting experts. Also, Progent is looking for talented managers able to perform productively in our high-growth, virtual office culture.

By supporting a team of talented and motivated consultants, providing attentive customer care, and following a competitive value-based pricing model, Progent has been able to increase our client list dramatically while providing consulting support to hundreds of companies in the San Francisco area and throughout the U.S. An advanced virtual office network, a common information base, and a team strategy for problem resolution have allowed Progent to retain a skilled staff and a loyal client list.

If you are a network professional with technical support experience, teaming with Progent or helping our customers will enhance your skills via interaction with our staff of highly team-oriented, talented consultants. Our focus on providing network consulting and computer support to small and midsize companies will give you the opportunity to work closely with key players and contribute significantly to the growth of exciting companies.

We are hiring technical professionals that have recognized certification related to their technical focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft expert, you must have your Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certificate. For Cisco experts, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For network security, you should have earned you CISSP, CISA, CISM, or other top security credentials. Of course, Progent is familiar with "paper experts". Still, simply because a credential does not ensure expertise is no justification for not having one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of those certifications should pose no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you are a professional, then clients deserve to see credentials. We can market your talents, but you should have basic certifications for Progent to market. If you are strongly opposed to the concept of certifications, we can understand and respect your opinion, but you are likely not a good fit.

Improve Your Skills with Advanced Technology and
Joining a Great Group of Computer Consultants
Progent's productive atmosphere will make you a more capable consulting professional by enhancing your technical knowledge and boosting the satisfaction of your customers. Progent delivers on this commitment by recruiting the top professional experts for you to work with, providing a state-of-the-art system infrastructure, running custom software utilities to deliver the maximum quality of support, and by optimizing our operational structures for finding and retaining clients.

The decisive factor that distinguishes Progent from most network support firms is the high caliber of our consulting team. Out of the scores of consultants who have joined us, we have assembled top expertise covering a broad array of technologies. Whether it’s Microsoft servers, Cisco switches, network security, Mac, Linux, VMware, or other crucial technologies, we deploy experts who can help you to be effective on major jobs by leveraging the collective experience of Progent's team of professionals.

To promote the success of our consultants, we invest significantly in making available the best technology to perform the work properly. Progent will leverage information technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure enables effortless connectivity, collaboration, and knowledge exchange with fellow Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or on-the-road offices. Consultants don’t waste time or lose income because of regular commutes to a conventional office building, and any travel you do for on-site client work is determined by your own schedule, not ours. The most attractive benefit is that much of our support work can be done remotely, offering 100% productivity for billable time. In practice, some of our team members do remote support only.

Progent's business structure is geared towards responding rapidly and efficiently to customer needs via information exchange 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 organized for convenient reference, up-to-date engineer schedules are broadcast to streamline group tasks and enable problem escalation, and customer satisfaction is continually evaluated. We reinforce the feeling of cooperation through periodic workgroup conferences and quarterly company-wide events.

The majority of Progent's consultants are located across California, but we are building a rapidly expanding group of network professionals throughout America. Progent's virtual office infrastructure eliminates regional obstacles that restrict the productivity of conventional business structures. We complete the deal by providing a comprehensive employee care plan to ensure the health and financial welfare of our employees and their relations.

Just as we have awesome consulting professionals, our sales and administration groups match the excellence that defines Progent. These top-notch factors behind Progent’s success are helping us to target and land the 50-60 new customers we are now acquiring every month. We lately marked the providing of services to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why Progent is also an effective sales organization.

Having a commitment to technical proficiency is a key for success with us. A job in consulting will push you to learn more than you would in any other job in information technology. Being confronted by a steady series of technical challenges is what keeps professional support interesting. Clients choose a consultant to perform the “hard stuff.” Innovative projects, advanced implementations, vexing or entrenched problems, and difficult migrations are the foundation for our services every day. With us, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is sadly typical for network professionals in traditional corporate roles. You will wake up every morning enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

On the way, you will work with some wonderful people, both by building strong client contacts and by working closely 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 heart and soul. If you don’t offer strong people skills or enjoy cooperating with a varied assortment of personalities, then Progent is in all likelihood a poor match.

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