The IT coordinator sets up systems for updating software applications and operating systems in use, as well as frequent redundant backups of necessary development or procedural work. The IT coordinator handles aspects of training on a company’s software and computer systems. This can include group presentations, as well as one-on-one training. Additionally, the coordinator often advises management on whether an organization's software choices are sound, and they must be aware of new developments in the marketplace that can assist the technological security and efficiency of a company. This position normally works during regular business hours. However, the requirements for various installations, training, and the potential need for around-the-clock “up time” for a company’s computer assets may put the IT coordinator “on call” at all hours of the day or night in the case of emergencies.
