18 November, 2009

New York, NY, November 18, 2009:  iYogi, the fastest growing on-demand tech services company, today announced that it has authorized Walmart.com to offer complimentary computer setup and support from iYogi – a $100 value that is free with select new Windows PC purchases starting on November 19th, 2009. Just in time for the holiday shopping season, this special trial program allows Walmart.com customers to take advantage of iYogi’s remote global tech support delivery, with the highest customer satisfaction in the industry, and provides them with experienced, on-demand assistance to help personalize and optimize their new computers.

This complimentary service will ease the setup and use of new and affordable PCs, guiding customers with even limited technical skills to get up and running quickly and easily. The iYogi service is particularly beneficial to users who are purchasing computers with Microsoft’s new Windows 7 operating system and may need additional configuration help. A recent survey from iYogi found that 47 percent of people indicated that they will likely need technical support when migrating to Windows 7.

We understand that purchasing a new computer is an exciting process, and many shoppers will want extra guidance and support to ensure they get the most out of their new system,” said Larry Gordon, President of Global Channel Sales at iYogi. “Our team of global tech experts is ready and prepared to help all new Walmart.com computer purchasers make the transition to their new PCs simple and pain-free.”

As included in the complimentary service, iYogi global tech experts will help customers:

  • Personalize new computers by customizing settings
  • Set up default music players, automatic updates and Windows firewall settings
  • Configure new computer’s wireless or wired Internet connections, if available
  • Optimize new new computer’s power options, reducing electricity usage and saving energy
