Smart Remote Access
Remotely accessing computers, devices and IT assets is essential for companies to serve users and solve problems, incidents or requests in a practical, agile way, with minimal impact on operations.

Almaden’s remote access solution features deep layers of security and a range of operational benefits to serve world-class companies.
Geolocation
Businesses hold information about the existence of computers but are often unable to identify the location of these assets.
Remote working has increased productivity and agility for the business.
