Splashtop is a remote assistance software that allows for faster and more efficient service to Trinity-owned computers. This software is especially helpful in the hybrid environment we are currently working in. Trinity-owned computers will be able to receive support from anywhere with an internet connection.
We understand security and privacy are important; therefore, we will only attempt to connect to your computer with your permission, and you will be notified as such. Users also have the option to disconnect technicians at any time.
