Trend Micro Technical Support Responsibility
When interacting with Trend Micro Technical Support, you will work with team members in different roles:
Customer Service Engineer (CSE)
When logging a technical support issue with Trend Micro, your case is assigned to a CSE. The CSE is skilled in the product set for which you have logged your issue (e.g. messaging product) and the CSE will be your main point of contact for duration of the support request. Their responsibilities include:
• Responding to you on a specific support request by email or telephone
• Where necessary, attempting to replicate and troubleshoot the issue you have raised
• Researching and identifying a solution for the issue reported
• Working with other teams to identify a solution. This may include, but not limited to, engineering
escalation management.
Customer Service Manager (CSM)
Customers who are part of Trend Micro’s Premium Support Program (PSP) will have access to a CSM. Your CSM will be local to your country or region, and will provide proactive technical account management to help maximize return on your investment in Trend Micro Solutions.
