• Premier Cisco Consultants
  The CCIE credential is the premier recognition for networking consultants, and certifies a person's technical skills at the expert level. CCIEs can resolve the most challenging issues associated with network design, integration, administration, security, and repair. CCIEs work with the highest priority with Cisco's internal engineers in identifying anomalies with IOS Software network management tools and developing alternate approaches or installing software updates to fix problems. CCIEs are an excellent value because their depth of expertise enables them to solve the most complex problems rapidly. In many instances, less qualified consultants can wrestle with identical problems for many hours or even days.

  Progent is among the few support providers that makes CCIEs available to support small and mid-size businesses. Progent offers fast contact with a CCIE by phone so that you can get timely help for complex network problems that are impacting business efficiency but are beyond the experience of your ordinary IT maintenance providers. Progent's CCIE support experts can connect to your network via secure remote support tools in order to perform quick and economical analysis and remediation of critical system trouble.
