Customer Support
ICS Delivers World-Class Technical Support! ICS’s dedicated team of experienced Technicians and Development Engineers provide world-class technical support from our state-of-the-art call centers in Pennsylvania and California.
It All Starts with Our People. ICS hires Technicians and provides them with rigorous training on our products, and their underlying technologies. We hone their customer service skills through extensive classroom training and assign them to the Production department where they gain valuable hands-on experience by building the equipment that they will eventually support. Upon successful completion of this 8-week training regimen, our Technicians possess the knowledge and the skills required to successfully support our customers.
