A single workplace disruption costs your business a few seconds or minutes. That sounds insignificant, but hundreds of disruptions to multiple employees over a month can lead to a serious productivity problem with many lost hours.
Recently, Microsoft announced that it would introduce ads in its Start Menu. That’s just one example of a disruption that can seriously hurt your productivity. Do not think it’s just an annoyance.
Instead, take action. Specifically, you can check out our Remote Monitoring Management (RMM) tools. They’ll block these ads and keep your business running smoothly.
Protecting Your Start Menu: How Our RMM Solution Shields You from Unwanted Ads
Your focus should be running your business, not dealing with minor OS (operating system) updates. Microsoft recently announced plans to include paid advertisements in the Windows Start Menu.
That’s not just a minor annoyance. It could be a productivity killer for your company.
To fix this problem, we recommend a proactive management approach. We provide the remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools you need. Our RMM will patch these ads on your Start Menu, so you get a clean, ad-free experience.
You can also use our RMM tools to manage your IT infrastructure remotely and solve problems rapidly. Our system ensures an optimised, secure, and up-to-date IT environment.
Our RMM tools will give you a distraction-free workspace, allowing your team to focus on important responsibilities. The result is a streamlined business operation combined with higher productivity.
So, let us take care of your IT needs so you can focus on growing your business.
The Power of RMM: Keeping Your Systems Running Smoothly
Our RMM tools’ speciality is remote infrastructure management and updates. This is a game changer for small-to-medium business (SMB) owners who need help building their own IT teams.
Let’s give you a closer look into our RMM tools and how they’ll help you.
Proactive Monitoring
Our RMM solutions will proactively monitor your network for potential problems. The advantage of proactivity is that you’ll fix problems before they hurt your business.
For example, our system will alert you if a hard drive shows signs of failure. That way, you can take action before your hard drive fails, saving you from potential damage.
So, the biggest advantage of a proactive approach is that you’ll have uninterrupted business operations.
Automated Maintenance
You can automate routine maintenance tasks, like software updates, with our RMM tools. That way, you’ll always have an optimised IT infrastructure that runs efficiently. And you won’t have to expend time and energy on maintenance tasks.
So you’ll save time and ensure your system performs at its best with minimal downtime.
Rapid Deployment of Fixes
Imagine needing your WiFi to run smoothly during an online video meeting with a client or business partner. Yet, when you start that meeting, your WiFi fails, leaving you embarrassed. These experiences are common but extremely frustrating and disrupt your operations.
You can escape them by using our RMM tools. With our proactive approach, you’ll rapidly deploy the needed updates to your system, avoiding problems like unreliable internet.
The Story: A Business That Relies on Zoom
Here’s a story that demonstrates how our tools help. Consider one of our clients, an SMB with over 50 employees that depends on Zoom for meetings. Before meeting us, their meetings were constantly disrupted by having to update Zoom.
Employees would be ready to join a meeting, only to be stopped by needing to update Zoom. Without installing these updates, they wouldn’t be able to join. So precious minutes would be wasted while the employees installed updates.
This inconvenience didn’t just cause frustration, it also wasted time and cost business opportunities. In short, it was a problem that affected productivity.
Our RMM tools fixed these disruptions. Our team remotely managed their infrastructure, ensuring that Zoom and other applications remained up-to-date.
We’d schedule all mandatory updates during off-peak hours so that our client’s team had seamless meetings. They could hop on calls without having to unexpectedly update their applications.
Real-Time Issue Resolution
Our RMM tools also provided our client with real-time issue resolution. When an employee would experience a problem, like a software glitch, we’d quickly access their system to resolve it fast.
Thanks to this real-time support, we minimised downtime and ensured any technical problems they experienced would be solved rapidly.
Protecting Your Start Menu: How Our RMM Solution Shields You from Unwanted Ads
We were ready when Microsoft announced they’d introduce ads to the Start menu. We quickly built and released a patch across our client’s networks to prevent distraction.
We did this because our client needed a proactive approach to stopping productivity disruptions.
The Impact of Start Menu Ads
Start menu ads aren’t just a minor inconvenience. They can have a serious impact on your workplace productivity. Being greeted with an ad every time they open the Start menu distracts employees from work.
A single distraction may not be too much, but it accumulates over time. The sum total of these distractions will increase your employees’ frustrations and decrease their productivity.
If your business depends on employee productivity, you will suffer financial losses from these distractions.
Our Proactive Approach
We solved this problem with our RMMs tool by building a patch that blocks ads from the Start menu. We proactively built this patch to prevent your employees from being distracted. The benefit of addressing this problem before it happens is maintaining your efficient work environment.
The Benefits of RMM for Your Business
Here’s how our RMM tools benefit your business.
Proactive Issue Resolution
We use our RMM tools to identify and fix problems before they impact you. This proactivity minimises downtime for your business and maximises operational continuity. This proactivity extends to hardware, software, and network problems.
By correcting potential problems before they occur, your business is saved from issues that could otherwise cost you money and resources.
Rapid Deployment of Fixes
We deploy fixes rapidly across your network. Rapid deployment ensures your systems are always up-to-date and secure. You need this adaptability in today’s fast-paced business environment, where new cyber threats constantly emerge. Without proactivity, you could lose sensitive data.
Rapidly fixing your problems also means minimal downtime and continual service delivery. Along with maintaining your performance, rapidly fixing your IT problems will also improve your reputation and credibility in the market.
Increased Productivity
Minimising disruptions improves your employees’ productivity. When they don’t have to deal with inconvenient updates or unwanted ads, they remain focused on their work. Our RMM tools take care of these problems for you so that your employees don’t have to.
This improved productivity eventually leads to improved business performance for your company. The saved productivity means your business will achieve more using the same resources in less time.
Timely Application Updates
Our RMM tools will schedule updates to important apps during off-peak hours to prevent interruptions during work.
You’ll never get caught off guard again by an inconvenient Zoom update that keeps you from attending a meeting.
That way, you’ll minimise disruptions and ensure employees can rely on their tools.
You’ll also ensure your team always uses the most updated version of their tools, too.
