• Certified Cisco CCIE Consultants
  The CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) credential is the top recognition for networking consultants, and indicates an individual's networking knowledge at the master level. CCIEs can resolve even the most challenging issues associated with network design, deployment, administration, security, and repair. CCIEs work on a privileged basis with Cisco's internal engineers in identifying anomalies with Cisco IOS Software network management tools and developing alternate approaches or installing software updates to correct problems. CCIEs represent an excellent value since their depth of expertise allows them to solve the most intractable problems quickly. In many instances, less seasoned consultants can struggle with the same tasks for hours or days.

  Progent is one of the rare service organizations that makes CCIEs accessible to help small and mid-size businesses. Progent can provide quick contact with a CCIE by telephone so that you can get immediate support for complex network issues that are hurting business productivity but are outside the experience of your local network support resources. Progent's CCIE engineers can tie into your environment using secure on-line troubleshooting technology in order to perform quick and economical diagnosis and remediation of critical network problems.
