Virtual Repairman For Your Computer

Entrepreneur Magazine:

No on-site IT person? Some entrepreneurs handle their own IT needs, and some outsource the task. Now there’s another option: virtual computer repairs, where a technician logs into your computer or server remotely and takes care of business from afar.

Computer Overhauls in New York City is one example. Its remote support options cost $99 per session for a desktop problem or $149 per session for server support. Businesses can also choose a monthly subscription.

All data is transferred over an encrypted connection, and the computer owner maintains control over the machine.

Other providers include FixFlash.com and PlumChoice.
