The primary role of the Technical Account Manager (TAM) is to deliver proactive services and to provide technical advocacy to HPE Pointnext customers. The TAM will work closely with customers to develop long lasting relationships and customers for life. TAMs are a valued technical resource to customers, peers, and all members of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Account Team. TAMs are typically experts in one (or more) of the defined HPE technologies (servers, storage or networking).

The TAM partners with aligned Complete Care Customers, gaining an in-depth understanding of the customer environments from both a technical and operational perspective. Alternatively, TAMs may be pooled, for example when supporting Tech Care, HPE Pointnext Service Credits and Lifecycle Event Services (LES).
