		<description><![CDATA[Tell me something...how much time did it take for you to get your recent customer's (or friend's) computer remote desktop connection set?
I bet it took much more than few minutes...
I guess that at the end of the process you were both pulling out your hairs
(and I don't have too much of those as you can see on my picture :-) )
It is not the technology, its the process which is making us run like crazy!
Checkout a cool remote support solution - they say you can use in 30 seconds or less.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tell me something&#8230;how much time did it take for you to get your recent</p>
<p>customer&#8217;s (or friend&#8217;s) computer remote desktop connection set?</p>
<p>I bet it took much more than few minutes&#8230; and you are a great</p>
<p>Information Technology Specialist and have a robust IT Infrastructure.</p>
<p>I guess that  at the end of the process you were both pulling out your hairs</p>
<p>(and I don&#8217;t have too much of those as you can see on my picture <img src='http://itprofessional-mastermind.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p>It is not the technology, its the process which is making us run like crazy!</p>
<p>You now have so many options in the new remote support offerings</p>
<p>that are supposed to handle user/access issues, firewall issues, networking</p>
<p>issues, configuration and Network Infrastructure misses and so much more.</p>
<p>The initial need was to simply allow computer A</p>
<p>access computer B&#8217;s to provide <strong>remote support</strong> &#8230;</p>
<p>Companies may still need comprehensive solution for <strong>internal </strong>use,</p>
<p>but it would probably become a burden where one needs a remote support</p>
<p>option for customers <strong>outside</strong> of the organization.</p>
<p>Looking at thin yet secure solutions such as</p>
<p>techinline&#8217;s <a href="http://budurl.com/Techinline" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/budurl.com');"><strong>remote support</strong></a> solution, one should ask</p>
<p>himself what else he needs&#8230;</p>
<p>1) File and Clipboard Transfer (of course)</p>
<p>2) Easy to use  &#8211; connection is done in 3 simple steps via the web</p>
<p>(looks like it would take no more than 30 seconds or so)</p>
<p>4) Firewall/Proxy access issues are not relevant</p>
<p>5) Integrated Text Chat, so you can both use the remote desktop and chat</p>
<p>6) Connection over HTTPS &#8211; 128 Bit SSL Encryption</p>
<p>7) No need for installations anywhere (except for the ActiveX control)</p>
<p>What do you think? Any other similar solution you know for remote support ?</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to see such options as well:</p>
<p>- compression over the wire</p>
<p>- screenshots and video recording</p>
<p>- benchmark for remote support solutions</p>
<p>Anything else?</p>
