Technical Support Specialist - TEKsystems

Description:

Kavo Kerr is a managed service provider for dentists office around the nation. The software they support is called Dexis.

On a day to day basis this team take 15-18 incoming calls and several email tickets. These calls will last anywhere from 10 mins to 3 hours. As of Monday September 10th their new ticketing system, Microsoft Dynamics, has gone live. Someone that has exposure to this would be great but not necessary since the whole team is learning it anyways. While 99% of this person's day is spent on the phone the goal of these calls is to resolve the issue remotely and on the first call. With that being said they utilize Bomgar to remote into computers and determine the issue.

Some examples of issues :

SOFTWARE - the PC is not connecting to the database (either local or on the server)

HARDWARE - machine is not configured to the correct voltage coming from the wall

These consultants will go through a 4-6 week training class to learn all of this but prior knowledge will set them apart of other candidates.
