Personalized support

Support for your specific organization

A Technical Account Manager (TAM) serves as your primary point of contact to facilitate account management, provide end-to-end service management and delivery oversight, construct and maintain a service delivery plan, assist with any escalations, and conduct periodic service reviews and account reviews. The TAM’s work is delivered remotely, in English, using the most cost-effective delivery approach. An option exists to purchase access to an assigned local TAM, an in-country (or in-region) TAM, or a TAM that speaks the local language.

You will also have access to a team of shared resources and associated ticketing tools to provide a focused service center that supports incident, service request, and problem management, tracking of customer-submitted Requests for Change (RFCs), and recording of changes to your environment configuration.

Configurable solutions
