WOBURN, Mass., June 12, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- LogMeIn, Inc., creator of the world's most widely used remote connectivity and support services, today announced that Brookland Computer Services, the leading UK IT solutions provider, has deployed the award-winning LogMeIn Rescue support tool as part of its IT and desktop PC support services for SMBs. Brookland will use LogMeIn Rescue to provide rapid and effective IT helpdesk support for its 4000+ SMB desktop users in the UK and internationally. With LogMeIn Rescue, the Surrey-based support team has reduced its incident resolution time by 50%.
LogMeIn Rescue is a web-based remote support tool that allows a technician to connect to a remote PC in seconds, without pre-installing software. It is designed for ease-of-use, multitasking, and simplified administration, and scales to meet the needs of both large and small IT support organizations. PC users can receive on-demand support by downloading a small applet that allows a support technician to remote control their desktop.
"During the evaluation of the available remote support solutions today LogMeIn Rescue was clearly in a league of its own -- the technology and pricing model were superior to others and more in line with what you'd expect from a modern helpdesk environment," said Eamonn Fogarty, technical director of Brookland. "LogMeIn Rescue provides our technicians with powerful functionality including comprehensive diagnostics of hardware and software images. This availability of information and the ability to connect to a desktop client in multiple ways means our technicians can handle multiple PCs in one instance, so more can be done and far quicker -- Rescue has become an invaluable tool for our support operations."
The Brookland Services team uses LogMeIn Rescue to support two types of clients; the internal IT support services function and project-based deployments within an IT department. Continued Fogarty: "For project assignments, we need the versatility to create engineering teams/groups that may provide a temporary but dedicated helpdesk resource. LogMeIn Rescue gives me 360 degrees visibility on IT support workflow, which gives me precise control over complex teams that might be made up of in-house and contract technicians. Rescue's interface also allows me to review and manage the actions of my team to determine how we can improve on our services."
"Brookland Computer Services is typical of a new breed of IT solution providers turning to LogMeIn Rescue for its principal IT and desktop support environment. LogMeIn Rescue is a proven tool that meets the complex support requirements of these new types of support organizations and provides them with quick and efficient incident resolution," said Michael Simon, CEO, LogMeIn, Inc.
