One of the main activities in an IT support organization is remote PC support. Technicians employ tools to support PCs that are in branch offices or other remote locations. Many of these tools allow technicians to communicate with their users through text or voice chat to resolve technical problems. Some tools allow technicians to connect remote desktop machines to their support consoles and remotely control them. Such tools increase the productivity of technicians substantially. The better remote PC support tools offer more comprehensive features such as encrypted secure remote access and integration with enterprise applications. The top-of-the-line remote support tool is LogMeIn Rescue. It provides all the aforementioned features and more including technician administration and management.
