• Certified Cisco CCIE Consultants
  The CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) certification is the premier recognition for networking consultants, and indicates a person's technical knowledge at the expert level. CCIEs can handle even the most difficult problems surrounding network design, integration, administration, protection, and troubleshooting. CCIEs work closely with Cisco's in-house engineers in identifying anomalies with IOS Software network administration tools and developing alternate approaches or installing software patches to correct problems. CCIEs are an exceptional value since their depth of expertise allows them to solve the most complex problems rapidly. In many cases, less seasoned consultants can wrestle with the same tasks for many hours or even days.

  Progent is one of the few service organizations that makes CCIEs available to help small and medium sized businesses. Progent offers fast access to a CCIE by telephone so that you can get timely support for urgent network problems that are hurting business productivity but are outside the experience of your ordinary IT support resources.
