Support.com Provides Scalable, U.S.-Based Virtual Call Centers & Remote IT Help Desk Support to Enterprises of All Sizes

Sunnyvale, CA — March 20, 2020 Support.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPRT), a leader in technical support solutions for businesses and consumers with over 20 years of experience managing a remote U.S.-based workforce, announces today that it is capable and has the capacity to support companies of any size to ensure business continuity with its onshore virtual call center and remote IT support services.

As brick-and-mortar call centers around the world are closing down and companies move to fully remote work in the midst of the current global health crisis, normal business processes are facing disruption. Companies need to find ways to support their customers by answering questions about products and services and continuing call center operations. Businesses are also trying to support team productivity while working from home.

Employing a U.S.-based remote workforce for over two decades, Support.com has been managing thousands of live customer and technical support agents in a virtual call center model that is capable of delivering the expertise, tools, and software solutions to support all the devices in the connected home and business. In that time, Support.com has developed the technology backbone and best practices to setup and scale virtual teams for success — from recruiting, training, and leadership development to operational processes, security protocols, virtual floor support and communication tools. The company’s proprietary “workbench” platform serves as a one-stop-shop for remote employees to access company resources, stay connected, and feel supported as a part of a larger team. Support.com’s methodology and best practices contribute to high employee satisfaction and ensure a reliable, effective virtual call center that can support customers 24/7.

“With our remote distributed workforce, we are uniquely positioned to immediately serve enterprise customers who need help maintaining business continuity during this challenging time. We’re enabling companies to continue supporting their employees and their customers by stepping in to supplement their current IT teams, expanding their virtual call centers, or providing them with our proprietary tools that keep remote teams connected and productive,” said Rick Bloom, Support.com CEO.

Support.com is currently offering support for enterprise and business customers through the following services:
