Under terms of the deal, expected to be announced this week, Computer Troubleshooters will identify NTRglobal’s NTRsupport as its preferred remote solution for its franchises worldwide. Computer Troubleshooters’ CEO Chip Reaves and NTRglobal President, Americas, Andre Angel confirmed the relationship to MSPmentor today.

To be clear: Computer Troubleshooters isn’t mandating franchises use NTRglobal’s software. But those that embrace NTRsupport will gain economies of scale and a lead generation solution. The lead system will allow would-be customers to chat with a local Computer Troubleshooters franchise. Also, Computer Troubleshooter franchisees will be able to brand their own local chat button with their franchisee branding.
