CoSentryas search for a new remote support solution began with the need for a consolidated solution that could expand upon their current toolas feature set, enabling them to speed time to issue resolution.

aA combination of features set Bomgar apart from the rest in the playing field,a said Bob Gooding, VP service desk operations at CoSentry. aEase of use, setup, capability to host internally, security and flexibility were all key drivers in our decision to purchase Bomgar.a

CoSentryas support team handles a wide variety of support issues from both their customers and employees. aWe currently provide both hardware and software support for a multitude of devices including PCs, Macs, laptops, servers, point-of-sale (POS) systems, smartphones and tablets. Since we are providing support services to both internal and external customers, it is important to have a solution that can provide reliable support across a wide variety of systems.a

Bomgar fulfills that need by enabling CoSentry to securely support nearly any system or device, whether itas on or off their network, from one, consolidated solution.
