Technical support refers to the monitoring and maintenance of computer hardware and software systems, in particular the resolution of technical problems that may arise in connection with customer accounts or the company's software infrastructure. In addition, computer software integrations, common diagnostics and other additional forms of IT support often fall under the technical support function.
What is the role of technical support?Technical support is a crucial component of any IT department and is primarily responsible for assisting customers facing technical issues while helping to maintain the company's software infrastructure. Many organizations separate their technical support staff into internal or customer-facing groups, while others maintain the entire department. In either case, technical support professionals must be able to monitor systems, troubleshoot problems (often without being hands-on), diagnose, resolve and escalate problems when necessary, and interact with customers.
In many organizations, technical support is often divided into levels based on the support needed and the capabilities of the technical support specialists
Level 1: Provides basic help desk resolution and customer service delivery, supporting and finding solutions for basic customer issues and customer service requests.
Level 2: Provides in-depth technical assistance by experienced and knowledgeable technicians, enabling problem assessment and solution discovery for issues that cannot be addressed by Level 1 specialists.
Level 3: Provides expert product and service support with access to the most advanced technical troubleshooting resources available.
What does technical support include?Technical support includes any method used by technical support teams to provide solutions to customers and internal staff, maintain internal software infrastructure, and flag potential bugs for investigation by software development teams.
