Introduction
The IBM Control Center encompasses ‘non-technical client support’ roles, which support the client case lifecycle through manual case creation, administrative support and exception handling.

Our team members execute various functions spanning from client case handling (through e-mail, phone or system) and entitlement validation to resource management/dispatch of technical team, while working with clients to manage their expectations.

The Control Center team plays a vital role in the overall technical support lifecycle as an exception handling team and works in close collaboration with the other IBM functions.

Your Role and Responsibilities
Operations Coordinator is the first point of contact for customers raising hardware or SW service requests with IBM. The core activity involves receipt of customer issues by phone or e-mail, and creation or update of either a HW or SW Service Request.
Operations coordinators will monitor an exception queue in the call management system and have the ability to search an extended range of information sources to validate entitlement to service. Issues must be resolved quickly and accurately in order to maintain customer satisfaction whilst protecting IBM from delivering non-contracted service.

The role will often require the person to investigate contract status with a range of different groups across IBM, including Sales Transaction Support (STS) and the customer account teams.
