• Premier Cisco Consultants
  The CCIE certification is the top recognition for network consultants, and indicates an individual's networking skills at the expert level. CCIEs can handle the most complex issues surrounding network design, integration, administration, security, and repair. CCIEs operate closely with Cisco's in-house support staff in isolating anomalies with IOS Software network management tools and coming up with alternate approaches or obtaining software updates to fix problems. CCIEs are an excellent value because their depth of expertise allows them to fix the most intractable problems quickly. In many instances, less qualified engineers can wrestle with the same problems for many hours or days.

  Progent is one of the rare support providers that makes CCIEs available to assist small and mid-size companies. Progent can provide fast contact with a CCIE by telephone so that you can receive timely help for urgent network issues that are impacting business productivity but are outside the experience of your local network maintenance resources. Progent's CCIE support experts can tie into your network via state-of-the-art remote troubleshooting technology in order to perform fast and economical diagnosis and repair of critical network trouble.
