How We Work

Remote-First, On-Site When Needed

We start every support request remotely — screen sharing and VPN access let us resolve most issues within minutes, not hours. When the problem requires physical access, we dispatch a technician to your location.

  • Screen sharing for real-time troubleshooting and guided resolution
  • VPN access for server, network, and application diagnostics
  • On-site dispatch for hardware repairs, cabling, and rack work
  • Cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux environments
  • Escalation coordination with third-party vendors when needed

How We Work

Remote and On-Site Support

We start with remote support to resolve issues quickly. On-site dispatch happens when hands-on work is required.

Remote Support

We connect to your systems securely through screen sharing and VPN. Most software, configuration, and user issues are resolved this way — without waiting for a technician to arrive.

  • Screen sharing for real-time troubleshooting
  • Software configuration and updates
  • User account and permission management
  • Email and cloud application support
  • Remote device setup and configuration

On-Site Support

When the problem requires hands-on work — hardware failures, cabling, server room access, or physical installations — we dispatch a technician to your location.

  • Hardware repairs and replacements
  • Network cabling and infrastructure work
  • Server room and rack maintenance
  • Workstation setup and deployment
  • Peripheral and printer installation

Frequently Asked Questions

Engineering Note

IT Support = help when something goes wrong. Managed IT = ongoing responsibility, monitoring, and maintenance. They serve different needs.

Backspace Insight
