• Certified Cisco Infrastructure Engineers
  The CCIE credential is the premier recognition for networking engineers, and certifies an individual's networking knowledge at the expert level. CCIEs can handle even the most difficult problems associated with network design, integration, management, security, and troubleshooting. CCIEs operate closely with Cisco's in-house support staff in isolating problems with Cisco IOS Software network management tools and coming up with alternate approaches or obtaining software patches to fix problems. CCIEs are an exceptional value because their depth of experience allows them to resolve the most complex problems quickly. In many cases, less qualified consultants can wrestle with identical tasks for hours or even days.

  Progent is among the rare service providers that makes CCIEs accessible to assist small and medium sized businesses. Progent offers fast access to a CCIE by phone so that you can receive immediate help for complex network issues that are hurting worker productivity but are beyond the experience of your local IT support personnel.
