Computer Remote Support Software

Tech support software (computer remote support software) for computer techs to provide computer remote support to end-users or customers through the web is an investment for support company or department that will undoubtedly be a certain return on the investment. Hours spent talking average computer users through troubleshooting computer issues over the phone, traveling to a remote office location where the computer may be operating from, most often cost more in lost and unproductive time than can be measured. 

Computer remote support software compresses the time between computer software support service calls by enabling, in the least, the technical support or helpdesk staff to look at and address the desktop issue first hand directly much quicker than previously mentioned and somewhat antiquated methods. On-demand quick and easy to use PC support software that let's computer support professionals, VARs, computer system integrators, telecom resellers and application development teams access and control their clients computers remotely assists in faster problem resolution. Computer support software allows techs to connect over the web to access and remote control through the web remote computer systems.

Computer remote support software was once confined to operating on the LAN. Technological revolution and the proliferation of the Internet and broadband for internet connections has caused computer remote support software to break out of the LAN computing environment to be used through the Internet as well. Since the design of applications was for a closed and more secure LAN environment, there were networking issues that had to be addresses and overcome before computer remote support could see a more tech and user friendly disposition. Early adoption of computer support software working on the Internet meant many firewall and router configurations were required on the both the tech side and the remote side of the network connection. Setting routers and firewalls up for remote desktop access was also time consuming and with the slightest change in networking, such as ip address changed and even often desktop changes, meant that the configuration was no longer valid and had to be re-worked. Also, when LAN based computer remote support software applications were used for online desktop support, bandwidth availability was not as it is today- cheaper and more prevalent. Haven been design for a LAN with 10/100/1000mbs networking speeds, the computer remote support software applications that worked well on local area networks would not be as functional when placed in dynamic networking conditions such as the Internet. 

Remote Support Software

Connecting through the web with remote support software rather than traveling to the location saved an enormous amount of time. Tech support and even software or system installation services can be performed faster and in most cases easier. Remote support software has gone from a luxury item for tech support to almost a necessity. Remote support software has increases revenue and profits (and in some cases, kept some companies afloat) as help desks and application specialist and general tech support groups can increase customer satisfaction. Remote support software does this by letting the support professional get to the the problem faster. By getting to the computer or software problem faster, diagnosing of the problem can begin quicker and one the diagnosing begins resolution can sooner follow. 

Computer support software to increase efficiency and speed of computer software and hardware problem resolutions should not have to cost so much money that it's only the large corporations that are able to afford the products to increase productivity. Even though large data companies like Cisco, HP, Compaq, IBMDellMicrosoft - who also makes a remote support product themselves (and non-data related companies), etc., have software to support their customers remotely. It should not be just these large corporation who have outsourced or created their own computer support products that should benefit from pc support software. All companies of all sizes should be able to help their customers and users quicker and faster. Online software for pc remote support increased customer satisfaction and customer retention. Once you get remote control of a computer over the internet and start fixing problems in less time than it would take to travel to the customer's office where the computer is located, the end-user notices this fast tech support and gives the tech support team an advantage to keep that customer happy.  Remote support software gives tech the tool to get remote computer access for remote support. Computer remote support software is one of the bets tools for tech to use for PC remote support through the web.

Remote support software can help companies stop loosing money due to lost productivity. If an end-users or customer's computer is having a software problem like a hardware driver is not working properly or their printer is having a configuration issue that causes it to printer landscape rather than portrait or the printer is printing funny characters or needs to be installed on t he desktop. With remote support software, a computer support tech can connect to the remote computer, access it with full use of the keyboard and mouse and see the remote screen to configure or add software or hardware drivers to the computer without having to even be present at the location. Remote support software let techs provide computer remote support on the web or on the LAN. Remote support software gives the tech an opportunity to provide pc remote support quickly before the remote computer problem creates more downtime than is necessary to the end-user and possibly causing the company to loose money because the person cannot perform their job function due to their computer not working because of a computer software problem. When a users computer system is not operational (at this time the topic of servers being down or inaccessible which affects many more computer users simultaneously), the downtime productivity loss because the user cannot user their desktop computer to perform a job function whether it be working with a database (even database entry), creating Microsoft word documents, presentations using PowerPoint, or Microsoft Excel sheets, etc. , is often not calculated into an equation that would get that loss on a accounting line on some Excel sheet or ledger software application.  Computer support needs to be efficient and as quick as possible. Remote support software can get the computer or software technician access and remote desktop control but it's ultimately up to the computer technician and the tech support staff in general to find the source of the problem and correct it. Whether it be a software driven issue or a computer user error, remote support software won't be able to accomplish the task of diagnosing and problem resolution of the computer desktop problem - just get them there quicker.
