As technology continues to advance, an increasing number of companies in the Philippines are hiring remote desktop support specialists and desktop support engineers to deal with their in-house IT problems. These experts are highly qualified and experienced in maintaining computer hardware and software systems, as well as resolving technical issues on the fly. They communicate with a company’s employees over the phone, email or live chat to identify and resolve these problems. Remote desktop support specialists also support and repair a company’s networks, printers and phones. 

Most companies need some sort of desktop support to keep their operations running smoothly, and the larger the company the more support they will need. A small company with a limited budget may simply hire one remote desktop support specialist to manage all of their in-house IT problems. Larger companies, however, realise the cost efficiency of hiring desktop support staff with a range of specific skills. These include a desktop support officer, desktop engineer, and a desktop support engineer.

A desktop support officer operates remotely and deals with resolving issues with in-house software, computers, phones, printers, networks and so on. A desktop engineer generally troubleshoots both hardware and software technical issues, identifying and resolving more complex technical issues. On the other hand, a desktop support engineer usually responds to in-house service tickets regarding issues with the installation, maintenance and operation of hardware and software, as well as with the company’s servers, security settings and networks. For many companies, all these roles blend into one and they make no distinction between a desktop support officer, engineer, support engineer or specialist.
