What the Global Technical Support Teams Can Do for You

Comprising of a mixed team of Progress Chef Technical Support Engineers and Product Specialists, the Chef Global support team is eager to support you. Whether you have a few questions about the Chef products themselves or have a product in need of some fixing, there is a wide range of subjects and scenarios the Global Technical Support team can lend their expertise to. 

One of the reasons why Chef Support remains efficient at their jobs is how they conduct a root cause analysis. Instead of taking extra time to talk with other departments at a company, Chef Support directly works side-by-side with your team.
