Die Fernwartung (Remote Control) von Computern gewinnt beim Support von Hard- und Software zunehmend an Bedeutung. Durch die immer stärkere Vernetzung der Computer über das Internet, den Aufbau von firmeninternen Intranets und herkömmliche Telekommunikationswege (ISDN, Telefon) erweitern sich die Möglichkeiten der direkten Unterstützung im Support. Nicht zuletzt wegen der Einsparmöglichkeiten bei Reisekosten und die bessere Ressourcennutzung (Personal und Technik) werden Produkte der Fernwartung zur Kostensenkung in Unternehmen genutzt.
Fernwartungsprogramme ermöglichen es dem entfernt sitzenden Servicetechniker, direkt auf den zu wartenden Rechnern Aktionen durchzuführen. Tastaturanschläge und Mausbewegungen werden übertragen. Der Servicetechniker sieht die Bildschirmausgabe auf dem eigenen Bildschirm.
Auf dem Markt gibt es mittlerweile ca. 200 Produkte mit unterschiedlichen technologischen Ansätzen und Leistungsparametern.
Wurden in der Vergangenheit Telefonverbindungen (analog oder ISDN) oder direkte Verbindungen über das hauseigene Netzwerk zum Einsatz gebracht, verdrängen mittlerweile webgestützte Fernwartungsprogramme die klassischen Programme.
Die Vorteile sind offenkundig:
--schnellerer Zugang über DSL
--Unabhängigkeit vom Standort der Kunden
--Unabhängigkeit vom Standort des Kundenbetreuuers (bei einigen Produkten)
--Keine vorherige Softwareinstallation (bei einigen Produkten)
== Sicherheit ==
Sicherheitsbedenken spielen bei der Entscheidung zum Einsatz von Fernwartungssoftware immer eine Rolle. Neben den rein technischen Parametern, sollten organisatorische Regelungen bei dem Einsatz von Fernwartungssoftware in die Überlegungen einbezogen werden. Fernwartung heißt nicht zuletzt, dass ein Vertrauensverhältnis zwischen Sender und Empfänger bestehen muss. Sinvoll sind vertragliche Vereinbarungen, die die Fernwartung regeln.
Der Datenschutz muss in jedem Fall berücksichtigt werden. Computerkriminalität und der fahrlässige Umgang mit Daten können große Schäden verursachen. Fernwartung und Sicherheit müssen sich aber nicht widersprechen. Eindeutige Identifizierungsverfahren, sichere [[Firewall]]-Einstellungen und hohe Verschlüsselungen (256 Bit) können einen hohen Sicherheitsstandard gewährleisten.

Remote Control of computers is becoming increasingly important in the support of hardware and software. The ever-growing interconnection of computers through the internet, through both internal company intranets and tradition telecommunication methods (ISDN, telephone), expands the opportunities for direct service by support personnel. Not to mention that, because of the savings in transportation costs and better resource usage (personnel and equipment), companies can use remote control software to significantly cut costs.
Remote control software allows service technicians to directly carry out corrective action from a remote location. Key presses and mouse movement are transmitted to the remote system. The service technician sees the screen output on his own screen.
There are around 200 products with different underlying technology and features.
In the past, the applications made use of telephone connections (via modem or ISDN) or direct connections over an internal network, however web-based programs are now replacing the more traditional applications.
The advantages are obvious:
--faster access over DSL
--Not dependant on the customer's location
--Not dependant on the location of customer service personnel (with some products)
--No pre-installed software (with some products)
== Security ==
Security concerns always play a role in the selection of remote control software. Besides the solely technical features, organizations should consider putting regulations in place regarding the use of remote control software. Remote control requires first of all that a mutual trust exist between the sender and receiver. It is sensible to set forth a contractual agreement as to the use of remote control access.
Data security must always be taken into account. Computer crime and carelessness with data access can cause enormous damage. Remote control and security are not, however, mutually exclusive. Positive identification procedures, secure Firewall settings, and high encryption (256 Bit) can guarantee high security.

Experience
• Professional translations of software related documents ranging from technical specifications to company newsletters
• Translation of research documents for a German political organization
• Translation of numerous articles on Wikipedia from the German to English language sites
I have a great amount of experience in the fields of software and IT related subjects, which makes me an ideal candidate for translating these documents. I also have a degree in philosophy and have had a number of poems and other writings published in numerous places, further proving out my writing ability. My ability to comprehend subtleties of language in general is very high, so translating is a natural extension of what I do best.
I treat every translation with the utmost seriousness. There is nothing more important than conveying the meaning of the text with all the clarity and elegance of the original.
1996-2005: Worked in several software development positions including work with Java, Visual Basic, VB .NET, C, C++, C#, Pascal, and other incidental technologies as appropriate. Work also included writing documentation for products.
2001: Graduated The University of Northern Colorado with a bachelor's degree in Philosophy and a minor in Economics.
