We are providing support not only to external customers but also to internal employees. Currently, we provide 24x5 Support to possibly go 24x7 in the future.
In addition to internal queries, we take issues reported by the customers who are typically Professors, Instructors, Students, Researchers, Librarians, or lab assistants. These questions can range from technical problems they are having with the website (problems logging in or password reset problems), requests for access to certain content on the site, problems with SSO or access via proxy, usage stats or other reporting problems, inquiries on how to get a subscription and much more.
Many of the tickets that the Support Team receives cannot be directly resolved by the Support Team. They need to make sure that they have gathered all of the necessary details about an issue, including debugging steps and information and ideally they must be able to reproduce it (where applicable). The Team then routes tickets to other groups or Teams for resolution. If Support did a good job of triaging the ticket before handing it over to another team, that other team should have all of the details necessary to move forward. The Support Team remains the point of contact with the ticket reporter/customer at all times. Support Tea
