If you have a
technical background, why should you choose a career in support?
We have invited Serban to answer these questions and
to give us an overview of one of the biggest technical teams in
Oracle Romania.
He’s been with
Oracle for 7 years leading the local PeopleSoft Financials &
Supply Chain Support team. Back in 2013 Serban started building a new support
team in Romania – Fusion HCM. His current focus is building a strong support
team for Fusion HCM, latest solution for Business HR Professionals from
Oracle.
The solution is offered both on Premise (customer site installation) but more
important as a
Cloud offering – SaaS.
So, why should a technical person choose Software Support
over other technical areas?
“I think it is mainly because of the high level of technical
skills required to provide the best technical solutions to our customers.
Oracle Software Support covers complex solutions going from Database or
Middleware to a vast area of business applications (basically covering any
needs that a large enterprise may have). Working with such software requires
very strong skills both technical and functional for the different areas, going
from Finance, Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing, Sales to other very
specific business processes.
Our customers are large enterprises that already have a
support layer inside their organization and therefore the
Oracle Technical
Support Engineers are working with highly specialized staff (DBA’s,
System/Application Admins, Implementation Consultants). This is a very
important aspect for our engineers because they need to be highly skilled to
match our customer’s specialist’s expectations”.
What’s the career path in your team?
“Technical Analysts joining our teams have a clear growth
path. The main focus is to become a master of the product they will support. I
think one need 1 or 2 years to reach a good level of understanding the product
and delivering optimal solutions because of the complexity of our products. At
a later stage, engineers can choose their professional development areas based
on the business needs and preferences and then further grow towards as
technical expert or a management role. We have analysts that have more than 15
years of technical expertise and they still learn and grow in technical area.
Important fact is, due to the expansion of the Romanian
Software support center, there are various management opportunities. So, if you
want to leverage your experience and if you want to have people management
responsibilities
Oracle Software Support is the place to be!”
Our last question to Serban was about the benefits of being
part of
Oracle Software Support. Here is what he said:
“We believe that
Oracle delivers “State of the art” Support
level to our customers. This is not possible without high investment in our
staff. We commit from the start to support any technical analyst that joins us
(being junior or very senior) with any training needs they have for their job.
We have various technical trainings as well as soft-skills trainings required
for a customer facing professional to be successful in his role.
Last but not least, we’re aiming to make
Oracle Romania SW
Support a global center of excellence which means we’re investing a lot in our
employees.”
