You can outsource technical support services to India, secure in the knowledge that a pool of trained and experienced engineers are available 24x7 to provide your customers technical support through a multi-modal user interface using the web, email, chat or voice, within agreed-upon response times and levels of quality. Here are few things you must know before outsourcing technical support services to India.

What are Technical Support Centers?

A Technical support center or IT Helpdesk is a system designed to help and support an end-user of a particular product, system or application. The Technical Support Center/ IT Helpdesk provides offshore technical support services to customers of products and services through multiple channels like email, chat, voice and the web.

The Technical Support Center is alternatively referred to as the Helpdesk or customer support center. Terms such as IT response center, customer interaction center, contact center, resource center, service desk and IT solutions center are also widely prevalent in the field to refer to dedicated teams that systematically handle the entire spectrum of technical support services.

What are Internal and External Helpdesks?

Internal and external helpdesks have distinct roles. An internal helpdesk supports the employees of a company while the external helpdesk supports external customers - the buyers or users of the product. A hybrid model helpdesk supports both by providing a blend of services. It's typically found in small- or medium-sized companies.

Tech support centers offer strategic value by -

• Increasing customer satisfaction and retention
• Increasing revenues through cross-sell and up-sell of services
• Increasing resource utilization and productivity of employees through internal helpdesk function
• Reducing costs

Top 5 Industry Leading Technical Support Services Offered in India

1. Website Support

   Maintaining a dynamic website 24/7 is a challenging task. It entails enhancements, fresh content, dealing with visitor feedback, maintaining databases and responding to inquiries. Mission-critical, transaction-oriented websites dealing with millions of visitors every day require dedicated application maintenance teams to keep the application running at peak efficiency. If the website is down even for an hour, it could mean losses in revenue and missed business opportunities. Outsourcing website support to a dedicated technical support provider just makes good sense! Remote technical support for websites may be a monthly-fee service or a fixed-cost contract for a longer period of time.

   Key website support services include -

   • Feature finding and usage
   • Level 1 customer support

   • Technician support
   • Navigation support

   Technical support centers in India provide pre-sales and post-sales support for technical products, software, systems and applications. Outsourcing this level of customer service frees up valuable resources within your organization to focus on other areas like product design, marketing and sales. All product-related queries and problems in usage posed by customers are compiled into a valuable database that can be fed back into the development process to make product improvements.
