Switching to remote working is hard, here is some help to keep you performing well
You are becoming a virtual team member and you know it!
The recent events have pushed us all to move our job and business activities to our home and even if some of you out there might have already been using up-to-date hardware and software even from your home, but not all businesses are prepared to shift that fast.
This the reason why some companies still require their team to be at the office daily in order to sustain their business.
The IT professionals might understand and are living their best days, but we need to understand that transferring the working environment in the homes of the employees isn’t as easy as it looks.
We must also mention the fact that this transfer is happening in a very short period and tech support is essential. I might add, it is so essential that the future of the business depends on it.
When moving our team’s activities to their homes, I’ve understood that this involves many questions among which also productivity and understanding the environment.
As I’ve mentioned earlier, tech support is the most needed, in the scope of understanding your environment, your systems, the interconnection of the systems which are a must for day to day work. You also need to establish a well-defined connection with your employees to ensure business continuity without problems.
Moving your business’s activities to more than one location brings some data security and non-performance threats. This is all happening while you are ensuring business sustainability. Besides setting up extra cybersecurity settings and software, you might be dealing with VPN settings which might sometimes create problems for your employee to connect due to wrong system configuration.
I know that most of the companies have an IT department, but in some cases, you as a business owner have to deal with setting this up at the most rapid time possible.
Not to mention, that the IT departments are dimensioned to handle the office work and not having hundreds or thousands of employees switching to work from home in 24 hours.
So, while setting up things for our small team of 5 and an additional setup done by our team in India, I was thinking that if I am having a hard time with this, imagine how large companies are seeing now issues that they haven’t predicted.
Then it came to me that this is why tech support and service desk service companies exist and we have a great partner from which we can get advice from.
The tech support and service desk service companies are providing ad-hoc advice and services for enabling companies to continue the business and minimize the effects of the preventive measures due to COVID-19.
The support enables solving trivial and complex problems that employees are facing with software and systems in use and take the load of the companies’ IT departments
As you can see, I’ve only used the diseases’ name once J
I think that during this crisis we must help each other even if we are sometimes competitors in business and while the IT support now is an imperative part of your daily routine, we can adapt by using some of the services which were created just for that.
Hope this advice helps and you can find the right partner to help you with these tasks. Having trusted contacts, I can recommend trying the services offered by IT Labs.

Brazil stands out for crash-game visibility, while Argentina fragments across 15 providers, according to Blask’s review of five markets.
Blask has published new data on casino lobby distribution across five Latin American markets—Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru—finding a shared baseline of Pragmatic Play dominance but sharply different secondary content patterns by country.
Across all five markets, Pragmatic Play “consistently dominates the top 30 most-distributed titles,” accounting for up to 16 positions in each country, Blask said. Beyond that layer, Blask argues there is “no single playbook” for how operators and aggregators build lobbies.
Brazil is the clearest outlier for mechanics, with crash-style titles such as Aviator and JetX appearing in the top 30, while similar formats are “largely absent” in the other markets analyzed. Blask also points to Brazil as the only country where Pocket Games Soft holds a meaningful distribution share, driven by its Fortune series.
Mexico shows the opposite pattern: the highest concentration of Pragmatic Play titles and a thinner secondary layer. Blask flagged Endorphina as an example of a provider appearing in Mexico’s top 30 but not elsewhere in its dataset.
Argentina is described as the most fragmented market, with 15 different providers represented in the top 30—more than any other country in the analysis—and broader visibility for live and table content. Chile “closely mirrors Mexico” structurally, Blask said, but includes a single non-Pragmatic title with near-ubiquitous placement across operator lobbies. Peru, meanwhile, spreads remaining top-30 positions across 12 providers, including studios not seen in the other markets and “legacy European brands such as Novomatic.”
Blask’s conclusion is that operators should not assume a winning lobby mix in one country will translate regionally. “Beyond the dominant layer, performance is defined not by regional trends, but by local player behavior and demand signals,” the company said.

Casino lobbies across Latin America may look similar at first glance — but a deeper look reveals they operate on entirely different logic. According to new data from Blask, all five major region players (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru) share one common layer: Pragmatic Play consistently dominates the top 30 most-distributed titles, accounting for up to 16 positions in each market. But everything beyond that baseline tells a different story.
Crash games cluster in Brazil but not elsewhere
Brazil is the only market where crash-style mechanics achieve consistent visibility at the lobby level. Titles like Aviator and JetX both rank among the top 30, while similar formats are largely absent in the other four markets. At the same time, Brazil is the only country where a second provider, Pocket Games Soft, secures a meaningful share of distribution, driven entirely by its Fortune series. This dual pattern suggests a highly specific local demand profile rather than a regional trend.
Mexico runs on a tighter playbook
While Brazil expands, Mexico narrows. The market shows the highest concentration of Pragmatic Play titles and one of the most limited secondary layers. At the same time, it introduces isolated signals that don’t scale regionally such as the presence of Endorphina, which appears in the Mexican top 30 but nowhere else in the dataset.
Argentina breaks the pattern entirely
Argentina stands apart as the most fragmented market in the region. Its top 30 includes 15 different providers which is more than any other country analyzed. Unlike neighboring markets, where a handful of suppliers dominate, Argentina distributes visibility across a wide range of studios, particularly in live and table segments. The result is a lobby structure that resists standardization.
Chile shows how a single game can outperform the system
Chile closely mirrors Mexico in overall structure but with one key exception. A single non-Pragmatic title achieves near-ubiquitous placement across operator lobbies, becoming one of the strongest outliers in the entire dataset.This suggests that even in highly concentrated markets, individual titles can break through if they match local demand precisely.
Peru stretches the long tail further than anyone else
Peru takes the opposite approach to Mexico. While maintaining the same Pragmatic baseline, it distributes the remaining positions across 12 different providers, many of which do not appear in any other LATAM market analyzed. This includes both niche studios and legacy European brands such as Novomatic, pointing to a mix of underserved demand segments and alternative content sourcing strategies.
One region, no single playbook
The key takeaway from the analysis is simple: LATAM is not a unified market when it comes to content distribution. The same providers appear everywhere but the way their games are positioned, combined, and supplemented varies dramatically from country to country. For operators, this means that copying a successful lobby structure from one market to another is unlikely to work. Beyond the dominant layer, performance is defined not by regional trends, but by local player behavior and demand signals.
