Tech Support Service Turns “Frustration into Appreciation” for Clients with Fast, Reliable and Secure Performance
Everon Technology Services, one of the nation’s fastest growing IT support providers to small businesses, is changing the way small businesses feel about technical support with the help of Citrix® GoToAssist™. The on-demand service from Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTXS), enables Everon representatives to instantly view and interact with remote PCs to resolve technical issues with speed, reliability and secure performance.
“With GoToAssist, we have a fantastic vehicle to resolve technical problems, wherever the customer is located, through a virtual team of experts based throughout the U.S.,” said Josh Clifford, CTO at Everon Technology Services. “Customers report a 97.5 percent satisfaction rating without our technicians ever having to leave the office. GoToAssist provides the visibility that takes the guess work out of the process and helps clients understand an issue the first time.”
GoToAssist enables Everon support staff to view, control, and troubleshoot desktop computers, increasing user satisfaction and productivity and lowering support costs. The service requires no client software or additional resources, works automatically and securely through virtually every firewall and integrates into existing infrastructure. With GoToAssist, Everon is able to deliver the same level of technical support, including troubleshooting, training and planning, found internally at large companies, but at an affordable cost.
When Everon’s small business customer Jeanette Tighe, senior director of sales at MedPanel, a global research organization for medical professionals, receives technical support she has a complete and affordable solution. “Through their use of GoToAssist, it’s extremely easy for a representative to start a support session and quickly fix my computer problems. This has allowed me to be more efficient at my work, serving our customers and growing our business, rather than wasting time and resources getting an issue resolved.”
“On-demand remote support is changing the ‘now do this and tell me what happens approach’ that many small businesses associate with technical problems,” said Mike Mansbach, vice president of product marketing and business development at Citrix Online. “With the help of GoToAssist, Everon is removing this frustration and empowering small businesses with a fast, reliable and secure way to resolve support issues remotely. Organizations can focus on building their businesses and not be distracted by expensive and time-consuming support alternatives.”
GoToAssist receives numerous industry awards for delivering best-in-class performance to its customers. Recent accolades include the SSPA (Service and Support Professionals Association) Innovator Award, Customer Interaction Solutions Product of the Year Award, C3 Expo Best of Show Award and Technology Marketing Corporation’s IP Contact Center Pioneer Award.
