• Customer service - One of the most important responsibilities that deskside support technicians have is providing IT support services to our workforce. Take incoming requests for help and maintain a high level of customer service.
• How to problem-solve computer Issues - Deskside support technicians take initiative and ownership of reported IT problems. They use diagnostic tools to identify the causes of the problems. Once the issue is identified, deskside support technicians process these incidents through an incident management system.
• Hardware and application support - When users need technical support with desktops, laptops, tablets, workstation devices, mobile devices, printers, and software, they turn to deskside support. These technicians then diagnose and solve unique problems. To complete this, they reimage systems and engage in computer networking. Deskside support technicians also work with purchasing staff to buy replacement hardware and software as needed.
• Installation of software upgrades - Deskside support workers complete hands-on fixes for desktops and laptops that include software installations and upgrades. They perform file backups and configure new systems and applications. After completing installations, deskside support workers test new computers according to established guidelines.
• How to create and maintain documentation - Documentation is a major requirement for deskside support. They record, track, and write notes for the help desk problem-solving process, including decision outcomes, actions taken, and final resolutions. Deskside support technicians are often required to submit accurate call logs itemising colleague interactions.
