What Makes Support from a Cisco CCIE So Important?
A Cisco CCIE is a top-level networking professional who earns this prestigious title by passing tough testing supervised by Cisco. CCIEs can deal with the most complicated issues surrounding computer network integration, repair, and optimization. Progent’s CCIE-qualified professionals work closely with Cisco's in-house engineers in identifying issues with Cisco IOS utilities and creating workarounds or finding software patches to resolve problems. The vast majority of CCIEs are employed by large enterprises or nationwide ISPs, and so their help is not easily available to the general public.

For companies in Maryland, Progent can provide convenient, fast, and affordable remote access to Cisco certified CCIE engineers. Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts (CCIEs) are elite networking subject matter experts who are awarded this prestigious certification only after thorough examination by Cisco. CCIEs are able to resolve even the most complicated problems associated with network planning, configuration, optimization, repair, and maintenance. Progent’s CCIE consultants work closely with Cisco engineers in analyzing issues with Cisco's IOS platform and developing workarounds or acquiring patches to resolve problems. Progent can provide fast online support from a CCIE so you are able to get timely help for tough network issues that are affecting business productivity but are beyond the expertise of your usual IT service providers. Progent's CCIE consulting professionals can link to your environment via state-of-the-art remote connectivity technology to deliver rapid and affordable diagnosis and repair of urgent network problems.
