			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>MCR and Bomgar – Changing the way we support our clients</h3>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-310 alignright" title="Live Remote Technical Support" src="http://www.mcrrentals.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/LiveRemoteTechnicalSupport.jpg" alt="Live Remote Technical Support" width="340" height="226" /></p>
<p>MCR offers robust remote services and live technical support to our customers, and as times change, so do our support methods.</p>
<p>When I first started in the IT field, I had to rely upon telephone support for customers.  This was a very slow and ineffective solution, as it took way too much time on the customers end, and only had a success rate of 40%.</p>
<p>Over time, new technologies emerged, included PC Anywhere, windows terminal services, VNC and many others, and although much more effective, they still presented the client with either needing to install software, and some telephone support to get up and running in order to even connect to the systems having issues.</p>
<p>Given MCR’s growing client base and the need to quickly resolve computer issues no matter where they are, MCR has chosen Bomgar as our <a title="Live Remote Technical Support" href="http://www.mcrrentals.com/LiveRemoteTechSupport.html" target="_blank">live remote technical support</a> client of choice.</p>
<p><a title="Bomgar - Live Remote Technical Support Client" href="http://www.bomgar.com/" target="_blank">Bomgar</a> allow us to provide consistent accessibility, strong security, and the ability to customize and collect feedback from end users.  This allows us to review our exit surveys and measure service and support performance.</p>
<p>Bomgar allows us to support multiple operating systems, and even more importantly remotely connect to unattended systems without intervention from the end user. Rebooting end user machines also requires no input from the client to reconnect.  This allows our technicians to be as productive as possible, without having clients being bothered with connectivity issues.</p>
<p>Lastly, the customer has the ultimate control, and can terminate sessions, or request video and transcripts of all remote sessions.</p>

<p><strong>2) Cycle your battery at least once a month by letting the battery drain to less than 3%.</strong> This helps maintain your battery&#8217;s capacity</p>
<p><strong>3) Batteries prefer room temperatures.</strong> If used in a cold environment, battery performance can be temporarily degraded. In high temperatures,  the battery may not charge at all, until a normal temperature is restored.  Keep in mind high temperatures can also be caused by intensive calculation or high end graphics applications.</p>
<p><strong>4</strong><strong>) If storing your battery, store it with a charge of less than 50%</strong> to reduce battery wear.</p>
<p><strong>5) Use the recommended power scheme</strong> provided by your <a title="Laptop Computer" href="http://www.mcrrentals.com/LaptopRentals.html" target="_blank">laptop computer</a> manufacturer whenever possible.</p>
<p>Using these steps consistently will help promote longer battery life.</p>
