Progent is looking for technical professionals who have recognized credentials related to their technical focus. So, if you are a Microsoft expert, you should have earned your MCSE certificate.

If you know your stuff, then most of those certifications should be no great difficulty. The point is that if you call yourself a professional, then customers deserve to see credentials. Progent will promote your skills, but you must have a baseline of certifications for us to work with. In case you are adamantly against the idea of credentials, we can understand and respect your opinion, but you are probably not a good candidate.

Whether it's Microsoft Windows, Cisco firewalls, network security, Mac, Linux, VMware, or other vital areas, we engage professionals who can enable you to be effective on major projects by leveraging the collective experience of Progent's group of professionals.

To promote the productivity of our consultants, we invest heavily in providing the best technology to perform the work properly. We will leverage technology to an extraordinary extent and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure enables seamless connectivity, collaboration, and knowledge exchange with other Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or mobile offices. You don't waste time or lose income because of daily drives to a conventional office building, and all travel you do for in-person customer jobs is determined by your time table, not Progent's. The most attractive benefit is that most of our support work can be performed remotely, offering maximum productivity for income-producing time. In practice, some of our staff do remote support exclusively.

Progent's business structure is set up for reacting quickly and efficiently to client needs through information sharing and cooperative problem solving. Although our consultants operate with a great deal of freedom, resource allocation is centralized, customer problems and solutions are meticulously monitored, recorded, and organized for convenient reference, up-to-date engineer schedules are broadcast to facilitate team tasks and simplify problem escalation, and customer approval is always evaluated. We reinforce the feeling of connection via monthly workgroup meetings and regular corporate events.

Most of our consultants are situated across California, however Progent is attracting a rapidly growing group of network experts throughout the U.S. Our virtual office infrastructure eliminates geographic obstacles that limit the productivity of conventional business models.

Possessing a passion for technical proficiency is a key for growth with us. A career in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other position in information technology. Being confronted by a steady series of technical challenges is what keeps consulting exciting. Clients rely on a consultant to perform the toughest jobs. Innovative projects, leading-edge deployments, puzzling or entrenched problems, and difficult migrations are the foundation for our services daily. With us, you will not stagnate or be pigeonholed, as is sadly common for network professionals in ordinary corporate roles. You will wake up every day excited about the challenges ahead.

Along the way, you will meet some wonderful folks, both by building close customer relationships and by operating closely with other Progent consultants, where you will benefit from and contribute to their growth. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused company through and through. If you don't offer strong communications skills or like working with a diverse assortment of people, then we are in all likelihood not a good fit.

If this sounds right for you, we urge you to contact Progent about our vision of the new paradigm of information technology consulting.
