What is remote IT support?  

In the modern working world, it’s rare for your whole workforce to be based from one location. They may spend time working from home, at customer sites or further afield. But this doesn’t stop them from needing IT support to resolve issues and keep them connected. 

Remote IT support involves troubleshooting and resolving technical issues from a distant location using online tools and software. Instead of having technicians physically present, problems are addressed over the internet, allowing for immediate assistance without the constraints of geography.    

Remote support also gives you access to expert engineers, even if they’re not based locally. It means you can benefit from cutting-edge support, without having to wait for them to arrive to your site.

Why do you need remote IT support?  

Remote IT support is useful for businesses of all sizes. SMEs often lack the resources to maintain a full-time IT department, making remote support a cost-effective solution for managing their IT needs. Startups and rapidly growing companies also benefit from the scalability of remote IT support, as they can easily adjust their support levels as their needs evolve. 

Businesses with remote or distributed workforces will particularly find remote IT support invaluable. It allows them to provide consistent and timely support to employees regardless of their location, ensuring productivity and minimising downtime.  

Industries with stringent compliance requirements, such as healthcare, finance and legal, also heavily rely on remote IT support. Remote technicians can ensure that systems are updated, security protocols are followed and sensitive data is protected, helping businesses maintain compliance with industry regulations and avoid costly penalties.

Remote IT FAQs_

How does remote IT support work?

Remote IT support works by using online tools and software to connect to a client’s computer or network from a distant location. Once connected, technicians can diagnose issues, make configurations and provide solutions in real-time without the need for physical presence at the client’s site. 

What’s the difference between remote and in-house IT support?

Remote IT refers to support delivered from a distant location, often through online tools and platforms. In-house IT, on the other hand, involves a dedicated team or individual physically present at the company’s location, providing direct IT services and support to the organisation. 

How much does remote IT support cost?

Remote IT costs vary widely depending on the services required, the complexity of the IT environment, and the provider. Small businesses might pay a few hundred pounds per month for basic support, while larger businesses with complex needs can spend thousands. Remote IT services often use subscription-based models, charging per user or device, with prices ranging from £50 to £150 per user per month. Some providers also offer hourly rates, project-based pricing, or customised packages. 

What types of issues can be resolved remotely?

A wide range of IT issues can be handled remotely, including software installation and troubleshooting, network problems, security concerns, hardware configuration and help desk support. While some complex hardware issues might require an on-site visit, the vast majority of everyday IT problems can be resolved remotely. 

How secure is remote IT support?

We use secure connections and encryption methods to protect your data and systems. We also adhere to strict security protocols and often undergo regular audits to ensure compliance. It’s crucial to choose a trusted provider with a proven track record.
