Documentation and Remote Work Transition

Oct 7, 2020

Overview

MSPs are supporting their clients' shift to remote work and face the critical challenge of documenting all changes, new solutions, and configuration updates.

Key Message

"Whether temporarily or permanently, MSPs are enabling their clients to work remotely, and they need to document each change, new solution, and configuration."

The Challenge

2020 presented unprecedented challenges for business continuity. Organizations that struggled often lacked essential operational information:

  • Employees couldn't access passwords
  • Users were unaware of required software
  • Clients needed warranty details

Core Insight

Businesses that invested in IT documentation software found themselves better equipped to handle these disruptions. Having centralized, accessible records of configurations, licenses, software deployments, and system details became invaluable when operations shifted out of traditional office environments.

Conclusion

Comprehensive IT documentation directly enables organizations to respond more effectively to unexpected transitions like remote work arrangements, reducing downtime and improving operational resilience.
