"Remote Support is an excellent training tool because the support specialist can physically see the problem, making it easier to direct the customer to specific functions and walk them through a solution on-screen," says Patterson Technology Center National Support Manager Jeremy Stroud. "This allows us to provide efficient, comprehensive support for our customers with one simple phone call."
