- Works exceptionally well when combined with our endpoint and network monitoring products as tickets are created automatically in the event of an issue
Steps/Responsibilities:
- Client: Email support@mostconsulting.com or visit mostconsulting.com to create a ticket. The more detailed information provided the better we can assist. Urgent issues (impacting more than one user) must be created via the mostconsulting.com so the priority can be stated as part of the request.
- MOST: Our certified experts will review the ticket and typically respond via email. In cases where it is necessary to log into the client device to observe the issue, we will send an online calendar link requesting that you schedule a remote assist appointment. At the scheduled time we will use our support tool to connect to your machines remotely over any internet connection. Requests are typically handled first come first serve, but problems impacting more than one user are given priority.
