Challenge

  • Our AWS support engineers must work to provide support for a very broad range of AWS services (about 200 AWS services).
  • Because our client is a global company with multi-country employees and multi-location offices, our AWS engineers must provide support to the end-users in both English and Japanese and cope with timezone differences. 

Solution

  • Japanese Communicators and Bridge Engineers are also added to the team to resolve language and communication gaps.
