If you work with a managed service provider, an RMM platform is probably running
quietly on your computers and servers.

**What is RMM?**

Remote monitoring and management software installs a small agent on devices so technicians
can monitor health, automate maintenance, and fix problems remotely.

**What it does**

– **Monitoring:** CPU, memory, disk space, services, and hardware health

– **Alerting:** notifies technicians of issues, often before users notice

– **Patch management:** schedules and deploys updates

– **Software deployment:** installs and updates applications

– **Scripting and automation:** repeatable fixes and routine tasks

– **Inventory:** hardware and software lists for planning and compliance

– **Remote access** for support

– **Reporting:** health and activity summaries

**Why it matters to you**

– **Faster response,** with issues often resolved before you notice

– **Consistency,** because every device follows the same standards

– **Security,** with timely patches and visibility

– **Lower cost** than reactive, manual support

– **Evidence** for audits and insurance questionnaires

**Questions to ask your provider**

1. What do you monitor, and what triggers alerts?

2. How do you handle patching and testing?

3. How do you secure the RMM itself? (It’s a high-value target.)

4. Can I see reports?

5. What happens if your RMM is unavailable?

**Privacy**

Agents can see device information. Make sure your agreement explains what’s collected
and how it’s protected.

**DBR Soft’s managed services use professional RMM tooling for proactive support.****
