As Support Technicians and Implementation Specialists, we utilize an online tool called ScreenConnect by ConnectWise to remotely connect to your computer. It gives us control of the mouse and keyboard as if we were working right beside you. One Step uses this technology for support and professional services. By doing so, we are able to immediately connect with your system, troubleshoot and resolve issues. You don’t have to wait around for a technician to come onsite. One Step is able to virtually be onsite with you immediately.

Additionally, the security of your system is important to you, and to us. ScreenConnect provides us the ability to quickly create remote sessions and the ability to view and control devices while still maintaining the careful security of your system. As you will see below, One Step’s technicians can only access your system if you let us in. We maintain this tight control so that you are always aware of our presence in your POS environment and know what we are doing while there.
