Technical support (also tech support) is a range of services providing assistance with computer hardware, software, or other electronic or mechanical goods. In general, technical support services attempt to help the user solve specific problems with a product—rather than providing training, customization, or other support services.

Most companies which sell hardware or software offer technical support over the telephone or via various online media such as e-mail or a Web site. Companies and institutions frequently also have internal tech support for employees, students, or other associates. There are also many freely available tech support forums on the Internet, wherein experienced users volunteer to help novices.

Types of support


Technical support can happen through various media, including e-mail, live chat, telephones, applications, faxes and technicians, although the most common is the telephone.
