SupportSmith allows you to add live remote customer support to your solutions or create plugins for the SupportSmith client. It also provides you with secure SSH2-enabled firewall/NAT-friendly communication infrastructure suitable for many other peer-to-peer communication scenarios.

Live, Remote Customer Support

SupportSmith eliminates the need to visit your customers' sites when they have computer problems. The program sets up a chat session between you and your customers, without the need for your customers to install software. Customers download and execute a tiny module that establishes an Internet-based connection. The connection is direct and secure, with no third-party servers to intercept confidential information.

The SSH-2 128-bit encrypted communications pass through firewalls, NAT routers, and proxy servers.

Your customer downloads and executes a tiny module

Then he/she introduces a Ticket Number and Code you've just generated

A few seconds later the connection is established and you are solving the customer's problem

How it Works:

SupportSmith uses a Communications Broker that listens for SupportSmith client requests. When it receives a request to connect two SupportSmith clients, it routes the connection to the nearest Communications Server, ensuring the highest possible remote control communication performance. SupportSmith establishes outgoing SSH-2 128-bit encrypted communications, allowing passing through firewalls, NAT routers and proxy servers, in a secure and reliable fashion.

The following Remote Control scenarios are explained:

Direct access, specifying a SupportSmith Communications Server
