Sometimes with technology things don’t exactly go according to plan. At times you might need your IT specialist to troubleshoot an urgent issue you are having, but what if he/she can’t come onsite? How can they access your computer from a separate location and fix the problem? Or what happens if you go on vacation and you notice something is not quite right on your work computer, what can you do? With a remote access solution such as RemotePC by IDrive, your IT specialist can provide support from anywhere with an internet connection, and you can have peace of mind knowing that when you take some time off, you can still access your work computer if you need to.
