• Certified Cisco Infrastructure Engineers
  The CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) credential is the top recognition for networking professionals, and indicates an individual's technical knowledge at the master level. CCIEs can resolve the most challenging problems associated with network planning, integration, management, protection, and troubleshooting. CCIEs work closely with Cisco's internal engineers in identifying problems with IOS Software network management utilities and developing alternate approaches or obtaining software updates to fix problems. CCIEs represent an exceptional value because their deep experience enables them to solve the most intractable problems quickly. In common instances, less qualified consultants can wrestle with identical tasks for many hours or days.

  Progent is one of the few consulting organizations that makes CCIEs accessible to support small and mid-size companies. Progent offers quick contact with a CCIE by telephone so that you can get immediate help for complex network issues that are impacting business efficiency but are beyond the experience of your ordinary IT support personnel.
