What Makes Support from a CCIE-certified Consultant So Significant?
A Cisco CCIE is a world-class network expert who qualifies for this elite title only after tough testing administered by Cisco. CCIE-certified consultants can handle even the most sophisticated problems surrounding network deployment, repair, and configuration. Progent’s CCIEs operate freely with Cisco's in-house engineers in identifying issues with Cisco IOS utilities and creating workarounds or obtaining program updates to correct bugs. Most CCIEs work for large corporations or nationwide ISPs, and so their services are not readily accessible to the general public.

CCIEs are elite network experts who are awarded this prestigious classification only through thorough testing by Cisco. CCIEs are able to resolve the most complex issues surrounding network planning, integration, capacity, troubleshooting, and service. Progent’s CCIE consultants cooperate closely with Cisco engineers in identifying problems with Cisco's IOS software and devising fixes or obtaining software updates to correct anomalies.
