Use Cases and Deployment Scope

RemoteView helped me in my day-to-day responsibilities at work by allowing me to quickly remotely manage, view, and control another user's device, regardless of where the end user is. This is extremely helpful when we are troubleshooting any errors or enrollment errors with any OS, but specifically when we support our customers with ChromeOS enrollment questions.
