The role of the Supportability Analyst is to delineate the support experience to optimize the client experience, eliminate the need for clients to contact NCR Software Support and make it easy for them when they want to contact Software Support. Supportability Analysts work in partnership with Product Management and the support teams to design holistic support experiences and optimize existing processes. As part of the release process for new products brought to market, as well as existing products, the development of tools to support the offerings and efficiency improvements are taken into account.

Supportability Analysts bring detailed knowledge of, and solutions to, customer problems and opportunities based on both quantitative data and client feedback. The solutions may involve refining existing processes or offerings, designing new processes or offerings or identifying new services and the processes and systems to enable them. They focus both on the quality of the customer experience and the return on investment of proposed changes.

Supportability Analysts are customer advocates, providing VOC feedback while working with product design teams, to influence both the prioritization of what is worked on and insight into how to design the offering to both improve the customer experience and the effectiveness of providing support. As the offering moves to release, Supportability Analysts work with Product Management to understand the offering and to learn and enhance support methods during limited availability roll outs. They also work with support groups to ensure that the systems, processes and tools that enable support delivery are in place and functioning properly prior to release. Once the offering is released, they work with various teams to gather feedback, propose solutions, influence prioritization for improvements, and recommend various training/communication enhancements to create a better customer experience.
