RemoteHelp Introduction What is RemoteHelp? RemoteHelp is a real-time remote support solution that enables organizations to offer on demand support to customers anytime, anywhere. 7 RemoteHelp is real-time web based support tool that provides web chatting and remote control and instantly distributes customers to waiting representatives. Also, RemoteHelp introduces a new concept of remote support that uses only the web browser to provide customers with Text, Voice, and Video Chat programs with no need for program installation.
