In the past, an IT specialist would be called out to your office or home to help sort out any problems relating to computer equipment, networks or software.
Whether you work at home or in the office, it’s now possible for much of the troubleshooting to be carried out remotely. You can get your computer systems back up and running in a fraction of the time it used to take waiting for a specialist to travel to the location.
Remote IT support involves downloading sophisticated remote software that allows the IT specialist to access a home or small business computer to pinpoint the exact problem and diagnose the repair.
The remote access software lets the IT specialist ‘take over’ a computer and access files and programs to help diagnose the problem. When carried out by a trusted IT specialist company, remote IT support saves time emailing or transferring files to maintain data security. Â
Here are some problems remote IT support be able to rectify while you wait in front of the computer.
The remote IT specialist will start with the basics:
- Monitor not working – is it correctly plugged in and is the switch on?
- Troublesome devices – simply restarting can clear the memory and sort out the issue.
- Slow or patchy internet – the IT specialist will be able to pinpoint whether it is the router, the broadband, the wi-fi, a network cable or your actual device.
- Slow computer – malware or ransomware could be causing the problem, but your remote IT company will know what to look for to find the root of the problem.
The remote IT support team will move onto more advanced issues, which could include:
