Remote Computer Management Creates Efficiency

When using remote desktop management programs you can free up your IT for other tasks. It will be much easier to fix and improve the performance of the computers in your network. Computers outside of the network can be repaired as well if they are set up on the system. The IT or repair person will be troubleshooting remotely but will see the same desktop screen that you have up on your computer. Since you can count on someone remotely to fix your computers, you will find that you won't have to pack up the machines and haul them down to the repair shop. If you have several computers in your company pool, you won't have to run the IT ragged going from work station to work station.

 

Companies with multiple computers are perfect candidates for this type of management program. The IT seems to be the busiest employee in the company no matter where you work. A good deal of time is spent in walking from office to office to help with computer issues. Imagine the ability to resolve most problems remotely. The time saved could be significant.

 

The transfer speed can be rather high to make this a quick process. The remote computer is accessed through the network connection. Applications can be changed, updates performed, and downloads placed on the recipient's desktop. Any function can be done while the user is connected and without closing whatever is being worked on.

 

The tech will see a full screen desktop as it appears on the computer that is having the problem. Any screen shots the tech observes that could be significant to solving a problem can be saved. How many times have you received an error message only to forget which number the error states? Performance can be monitored remotely and information can be recorded as needed. The technician will be able to see what the user had been accessing before the problem occurred. This can be an immense help in the troubleshooting process and allows the tech to make a quicker determination of the problem. When the tech has isolated the problem with the computer, an action can be commanded remotely as appropriate to the repair process. The computer being repaired can be rebooted, shut off, locked or unlocked, programs launched, or applications stopped. Many different levels of this type software exist and you can choose the one with the features you need. The basic level programs will usually allow the remote access and interactive features. Screen shots can be seen and saved. The next level program might also have the ability to chat with the computer user, monitor speed and performance, and access the inventory of the computer and print it all out. It would also include the features in the basic model. If you are interested in using a remote desktop management program to expedite your company's computers, the premium type program may be what you need. This type will cost a bit more, but will include all of the features of the basic and medium feature programs plus PC scheduling capabilities, inventory of processor data, printer performance, disk drive data, OS hot fixes, and folders containing programs.
