Many system administration and technical support tasks can be performed directly on your PCs and servers without the presence of an on-site technician being necessary.
In 2003, 71% of all BCN technical support requests could have been resolved using remote desktop management. No on-site service necessary! This number does not include web hosting or site maintenance requests.
