Technology Specialist Scheduling

Technology is constantly in a state of change. One day somethings here the next day its gone. As a technology specialist you need to keep up on all of the latest technological changes. Then there are the services you provide for your employer/s. It can be quite difficult to keep your schedule straight with all of that and your own personal things too. A technology specialists scheduling can be quite a juggle.

Benefits

Getting help keeping all of the scheduling straight is beneficial to your peace of mind. It can also keep the flow of communication clearer. Having your mind on the job while someone else handles the scheduling supports this.

Understanding

We here at Officense know just how hard it can be to manage the day to day work with learning and personal life. That’s why we offer technology specialists scheduling services as well as appointment services.

Necessity

Better Team states ” Technical Specialists work with Network Analysts to review, diagnose, and treat technical problems related to computer networking operations. Technical Specialists are required to work with software and hardware.” Unlike many of the technological fields that major in just one or the other, you have software AND hardware to keep up with. You also have your coworkers and outside sources both to keep track of.

Everywhere at Once

What that means is that you have a ton of appointments to keep and places to be. Sometimes it can feel as if you are trying to be in six places at once! A technology specialist scheduling service can help you feel like you only need to be in one place at a time. In reality that IS, after all, all you actually HAVE to do.

Video Conferencing Services for Engineers

Engineer’s job is to ensure that the decision they make is well thought out, engineered accurately, practical, and within the budget. They are responsible to communicate with their team, consider their viewpoints, and then move forward with the plan to complete each project. Being an engineer, you might not always have time to sit down together face to face and communicate with your team regarding your projects. But, using video conferencing tools you can communicate with your team without having all your teammates travel to your office. Clients and team members can see face-to-face and can participate and contribute their inputs during the meetings.

The rise of Video Conferencing

Video conferencing has been a key element in the success of businesses to connect with their clients, remote workers, partners, suppliers, etc. Initially, video calls were used simply to reduce travel costs. Businesses find it easier to collaborate and work via video calls. More and more companies are switching from having communication through video calls rather than using emails, in-person and phone.

And as of now with the ongoing COVID-19 issue, it has impacted the video conferencing market positively and is in high demand. To keep the employees safe and to mitigate the risk of the contracting viruses more and more companies are relying on video conferring systems to connect with one another. Matter of fact, Zoom’s daily participants jumped from 10 million to more than 200 million in three months.

Benefits of using video conferencing

Video conferencing technology not only cut the travel expense but also makes meetings faster, easier, focused, and agenda-oriented.  In a matter of a few clicks, you can connect to your team, clients, and communicate at any time and from any part of the world. It honestly can’t get any easier. Some of the main reason’s companies are using video conferencing more than ever are:

  • Cost savings
  • Improved Productivity and optimized operations
  • Improved efficiency
  • Raid outreach
  • Increased employee satisfaction and its benefits
  • Improved communication and more solid relationships with clients and employees
  • Support for green initiatives
  • Move a company more effectively towards its goals
  • Encourage partnership/joint efforts
  • Deliver faster problem solving and increased innovation
  • Improve job satisfaction and employee retention

A Net for Network Administrators

A network administrator has a lot of responsibilities that take a toll on their time. Target Jobs says “Network administrators are responsible for maintaining computer networks and solving any problems that may occur with them.” What they do not say is how many different issues that can entail nor who becomes the net for the network administrator.

IT Professionals

Problems

Since you, as a network administrator, have a very busy schedule with tasks here there and everywhere, you need a way to keep track of it all. You need someone who is there to arrange appointments for you, while you run from one location to the next. Someone who can greet prospective clients for you is also a great thing to have, particularly if you are running a bit late for that 2 o’clock meeting is perhaps another need. Do you really want to sort through all of the junk mail advertising for this printer or that monitor? Do you have time to keep a full sized office ready and presentable from reception to private?

Solutions

If you answered no to either of those questions or agree with the prior statements then, network administrator, have I got a solution for you! Here at Officense we provide phenomenal service with a smile. We have offices you can rent by the hour, month, or more. We’ve conference rooms, in case you want to host a meeting with colleagues, that are also for rent. Our staff is trained exquisitely to deal with the demands of an ever changing job world. They stand ready to greet your clients and usher them into your office with that same smile I mentioned above. We also are willing and capable to sort your junk mail from good. Rerouting calls to you or someone else is a snap and will save you from telemarketers and spam calls.

People are getting comfortable again with businesses back up and running. People have slowly been returning to work and leisure activities. Things don’t seem so bad anymore, perhaps because we’ve grown used to living in a pandemic. And while maybe now still isn’t the time to plan a vacation to Disneyland, people are starting to go out more. Maybe you can walk along the not-so-busy boardwalk, or takes selfies for Instagram along Blagden Alley. Bags are being packed again, and hotels are filling back up. Plane tickets are still at an affordable rate, and so are Airbnb’s.

Perhaps it’s a refreshing feeling of you checking for your keys or wallet while heading to your flight. However, even in the midst of getting back to ‘normal life’ routines, vacations pose good panic questions (as they always do): Who will take care of the company while everyone’s out of office? Who will be there for the call answering? Who will schedule appointments? Will you have to check in on this all the time since you just got the company back up and running? The answer is simple – seek out administrative services from Officense’s fully-trained Executive Assistants.

COVID-19: THE STRESS AND STRUGGLES FOR ANALYSTS

Well, it’s been just about 6 months since America entered a state of emergency, recommended we enter a quarantine, and place guidance on everyone’s daily life. While some might disagree with it, we all know the rules. We see them everywhere we go: Stay at home. Stay inside. Stay 6 feet away from everyone. Mask is required for entry. Maybe even keep gloves and hand sanitizer on you at all times. And even though some people don’t agree with the new regulations, they are the ‘new norm’.

THE TOLL COVID-19 HAS TAKEN

We all know the saying: every action has a consequence. And these regulations have their own share of consequences, too. You can ask people if they think these actions have been necessary, and most will say yes. However, as humans, we require certain things to maintain healthy operational levels – and the pandemic has been weighing on peoples’ overall well-being. Just like anything else, COVID-19 has had quite the ripple effect everywhere in the world. There’s no question that everyone altered their lifestyles to meet the new regulations: from work, to school, to home, to leisure. No wonder people haven’t balanced their sense of well-being. Many aren’t even sure if their company will still be in good standing once everything is said and done.

However, even though brick and mortar locations have been suffering, all remote industries have started booming quite a bit. For example, analysts are one of the most in-demand jobs this year. At Officense, we know how much of a challenge everything has been lately. With everyone else required to stay at home constantly, a lot of the heavy lifting falls on workers like data processors and analysts. We want you know that you don’t have to be entirely alone in this struggle. Let your company’s operations be the least of your worries right now, that’s what Officense is here for.

HELPFUL SERVICES

We can help analysts on the business administrative side of things.

Our plans are very flexible, with both long-term and short-term options, such as our current summer special, discounting our address services for 6 months.

Officense not only offers assistance in administrative tasks, but also provides a safe and professional atmosphere for any analysts’ clientele. While you let Officense take some worries off your plate with your business’ administrative operations and new location, you can have more time to focus on all the other pieces in life that matter right now.
