Our true differentiator in the market is exceptional technical support/customer service. Our help desk team is at the core of this promise. These technologically savvy call center techs are key team members who provide our customers-including stadium control room operators and live event staff-with remote service, software operation assistance, and troubleshooting for their A/V systems and video displays and training as part of the technical support helpdesk, utilizing an extensive knowledge base and hands-on training with our team. This is not a "customer service" CSR role in the traditional sense, as it is far more technical in nature; however, customer service is the critical focus of this helpdesk technician position. This role specializes in providing real-time support for high-stakes environments like live sporting events and entertainment productions.
