Maintenance and support, the business systems need maintenance and support to ensure everything is up to date and working properly. Supporting and training staff is necessary. Upgrades to the business system is also done at this time.

Review, write and modify policies, every business has policies for many issues and concerns. As the business develops and experiences change while providing a service, policies may require changes or new policies are to be made.

Review documentation of recently serviced computers, every computer serviced should have a documented service report. These reports should be reviewed for studying new problems, and to update service procedures if needed. Reviewing the service documentation can be used to find areas of improvement.

Write and update procedures, every new problem found is worth noting. People get their computers into many strange problems and finding solutions can be very creative. It is important to write the procedures used so you’d never forget how the problem was solved. Procedures should also be updated if improvement have been made, often a change in software will require updating the service procedures.

Research and development, studying and preparing for problems that has not been encountered yet is good. It is always better to be prepared for the future. Updating and finding new tools for services is time consuming and is very necessary, technology changes fast and software requires updating to keep up with compatibility. Computer technicians may do some software development to simplify tasks, such as automation scripting.

As you can see there are many things a computer technician could be doing right now if things are slow and there is no reason for the technician to be doing nothing. However, if your computer technician has never heard of these things or what documented services are, you may want to recheck their credential to ensure you didn’t hire a fraud.
