Maintenance and Support Custom Made

Analysis and Problem Solving immediately with Remote Diagnosis or on Site by Appointment

Remote Diagnosis

Remote diagnosis allows us to inspect your system by telediagnosis via internet without the need to visit you on site. Our staff will see exactly the same display on his screen as you. Via remote diagnosis we are able to perform necessary settings and operations together with you. We will guide you step by step through the software and lead you through the active diagnostic process - to solve your problem successfully.

The necessary software is preinstalled on your PC and ready to use. Each remote diagnostic session is password protected. You can stop it at any time and you will keep full control in every phase. After finishing the online diagnostics the internet connection is disconnected.

Advantages of Remote Diagnosis:

  • Immediate solution of problem directly on the system
  • Communication problems that can occur in the telephone communication will be excluded
  • In 80% of all cases, the problem can be solved
  • This saves time and money

Remote Service Options
To have quick help if needed take one of our 2 service options on prepayment basis: Booking of a total of 4 or 8 hours remote sessions that can be taken according to requirements in single units of 30 minutes. Each session will be documented in a standardized report, which will be transferred to the user.
