Remote IT Support
GEEK-AID® remote IT support technicians can virtually support employee IT issues on computers, servers, phones, laptops and tablets wherever they are located, including traveling employees and those working from their homes. Supporting work-from-home employee IT devices has never been more critical for small and midsized businesses (SMBs). We can quickly help your team over the phone or via remote screen access, freeing you to focus on running your business operations. We take the frustration out of IT problems by serving as your company IT helpdesk.
The Benefits of Remote IT Support for Small Business
Many SMBs do not have a full-time IT department or may be overwhelmed with IT problems. Remote IT support can be a cost-effective solution to this problem. The days of lengthy waits for a technician to travel to your office are gone. GEEK-AID® has the ability to share a computer screen virtually, with permission, and navigate through IT problems in real time. Your employees can work on something else while this is happening, or observe progress on the screen during the help session. In many cases, the issue can be solved with just a phone call. Here are more benefits of remote IT support:
- Access to expert support 24/7/365
- Minimized downtime with efficient, expert troubleshooting
- Improved response time for security threats
- Greater flexibility for service times and locations
- Cost savings over in-person service visits
- Local Manhattan-based technicians, not overseas call centers
- No need to unhook equipment or visit repair shops
- Access to technicians with extensive industry system experience

Remote IT Solutions to Improve SMB Technology
Nearly 40% of SMBs outsource their IT services with some form of IT operations management. Your business increasingly relies on technology to perform critical business functions. Equipment and system outages affect productivity, sales, schedules and customer service, and add to employee frustration. Remote IT support can be the fastest and least expensive way to get your business running again. Our experts see IT solutions at work in various industries and can suggest improvements or strategies to enhance office productivity and improve technology for your company. We deal with IT issues and solutions every day and can help your business organize and prioritize technology initiatives and investments in the following ways:
