• Certified Cisco Engineers
  The CCIE certification is the premier recognition for networking engineers, and certifies a person's networking knowledge at the master level. CCIEs can handle even the most challenging issues associated with network planning, integration, management, protection, and repair. CCIEs operate with the highest priority with Cisco's in-house engineers in isolating problems with IOS Software network management utilities and coming up with workarounds or installing software updates to fix problems. CCIEs represent an exceptional value since their depth of experience enables them to solve the most complex problems rapidly. In common cases, less seasoned engineers can struggle with identical problems for hours or days.

  Progent is among the few support organizations that makes CCIEs accessible to help small and medium sized businesses. Progent can provide quick access to a CCIE by phone so that you can receive immediate help for urgent network problems that are hurting worker efficiency but are beyond the experience of your ordinary IT support personnel. Progent's CCIE support experts can connect to your environment using the latest on-line support technology in order to provide fast and affordable diagnosis and remediation of critical system trouble.
