What’s next?
Before we move on to patch management, our next focus will be further enhancing the performance and responsiveness of Remote Screen Control. More importantly, we’re preparing to launch a dedicated end-user tray icon, which will include features such as remote session notifications, live chat with end users, and more, all fully customizable with your corporate branding. Stay tuned!
