Solution Deep Dive

With thousands of installs across the county, BullsEye was searching for a solution that would allow them to have remote access to their on-premise equipment and services as securely as possible. BullsEyeEngineering began looking for ways to develop its own solution to this problem and ultimately discovered remote.it.

Joe Spoon, a senior network engineer at BullsEye, discovered remote.it while researching possible secure connectivity solutions. It was very easy to get started with remote.it since the application supported standard platforms. Configuration was “a breeze” too. While initially the service required manual logins and somewhat complex scripts for auto-logins, remote.it listened to BullsEye and developed an auto configuration mechanism enabling BullsEye Engineering to auto-register devices on the remote.it server and be ready for installation or servicing almost immediately.

Joe has personally worked with the remote.it team on several occasions over the years and every time he had the same experience: the remote.it team was ready, willing, and able to assist with any issues BullsEye had.remote.it support would provide direction or would build the scripting needed – for example, ensuring update pushes worked flawlessly.

"Remote.It reached out to our team in the early stages to understand how we use the service so they could better configure the service for all their clients." -- Joe Spoon, Senior Network Engineer, BullsEye

The remote.it solution came in handy in unexpected but critical ways too:on one occasion, Joe and his peers discovered the testing software on their equipment still had an old version deployed to all devices, which was causing performance issues. Joe worked directly with the remote.it support experts who quickly built a new script for BullsEye to address the issue. This new scripting capability reduced BullsEye’s development time from weeks to just a few days while enabling them to upgrade their testing software very quickly and without experiencing any issues.

Today, the remote.it solution has advanced to the point where theBullsEye Engineering team can issue updates to fleets of devices and get feedback instantly. It has also streamlined several of their big installation projects.

"The ease of clicking on a device and logging into that device in under a minute is amazing!" -- Joe Spoon, Senior Network Engineer, BullsEye.
