The Benefits of Remote IT Support

HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED obtaining Remote IT Support for your company? Remote IT support has been around for many years and is mainly used by the world’s largest tech companies. Many don’t realize all of the benefits that remote IT support has to offer and therefore, often overlook it. Remote support is an easy and cost effective way for an IT technician to diagnose a problem and implement a solution all through the use of the internet. Many companies would benefit greatly from having this key feature in case an emergency arises. Some large issues cannot be fixed without an on-site tech, although many small issues can be resolved using remote support.  Will Power PCS wants to share some of the major benefits that a business or individual can reap from having Remote IT Support.

Cost Effective

The most important benefit of using Remote IT Support is the cost effectiveness. Everyone enjoys saving money and the last thing someone might save for is repairing their tech devices. Many companies that offer remote support services offer a flat rate, meaning you know exactly how much you will be paying with no hidden charges. Very few computer repair shops offer same day on-site repair services. On-site support services can cost upwards of $350-$450 per call, not counting the possible loss of income from the  downtime. For remote support, a normal call to your tech will cost you about $50 per hour, and in most cases, an hour is more than enough time for an IT technician to determine the issue.

Time Effective

Remote IT Support service offers an immediate solution to your technical problems. It allows the technician to immediately address the problem. It saves you on a lot of unnecessary time and stress in having to schedule an appointment or even looking for a computer repair shop. Most businesses experience between three and four technical issues each year, with about eight hours of business downtime per issue waiting for on-site repair. That is roughly thirty-two hours per year that your business is not up and running. With remote support, your issues can be taken care of quickly and easily. Almost all computer issues and many other tasks can be completed using tech support. IT providers, now more than ever, are equipped with many advanced tools which allows them to resolve many more issues.

System Maintenance

Companies would highly benefit from having their systems regularly maintained, updated and routinely checked for viruses and malware. Most computer repair shops that offer Remote IT Support services offer maintenance contracts to their clients.  This will allow your technician to regularly check your system for Windows/Antivirus updates and keep a close eye on your system’s hardware. Not only will you be able to resolve an IT issue promptly but you will be at ease knowing your systems are being check regularly so your company can run as smoothly as possible.
