user base generally consists of highly skilled technical and business
professionals. Issues tend to be low volume/high complexity and are
handled primarily via e-mail, with periodic conference calls and
liaising with key representatives on some accounts. In addition to
routine problem solving, you will use your innovative and creative
talents to develop tools, procedures, and documentation to strengthen
support capabilities and improve processes. Overall we are seeking
candidates that are self-motivated, fast learning, and conscientious,
with a solid foundation in computing.
