• Certified Cisco Infrastructure Consultants
  The CCIE credential is the premier recognition for networking professionals, and indicates an individual's networking skills at the master level. CCIEs can handle even the most difficult problems encountered in network design, deployment, management, security, and repair. CCIEs work with the highest priority with Cisco's in-house support staff in identifying problems with IOS Software network administration tools and coming up with workarounds or obtaining software updates to fix problems. CCIEs are an excellent value because their depth of expertise enables them to solve the most intractable problems rapidly. In common instances, less qualified consultants can wrestle with identical problems for hours or even days.

  Progent is one of the rare consulting organizations that makes CCIEs available to help small and mid-size businesses. Progent offers quick contact with a CCIE by phone so that you can get timely help for complex network problems that are hurting worker productivity but are outside the scope of your local network support resources. Progent's CCIE consultants can tie into your network by means of sophisticated remote support technology in order to provide fast and affordable diagnosis and repair of critical system problems.
