The ability to network and share information within the company allows businesses to be productive and work more efficiently. As new technology is developed, companies may upgrade, or replace their systems altogether. Skilled workers will be in demand by companies to staff their technical support departments and provide services ranging from setup and installation to diagnostics.

Also, because of falling hardware and software prices, it has become more affordable for consumers to purchase technology for use in the home. Although advances in software technology have made program installation easy, computer companies will continue to offer installation services as a way to win customers from competitors. In addition, fierce competition will push companies to provide increasingly specialized service in terms of customization of computer systems. As computers become more sophisticated, highly trained setup specialists will be needed to install them correctly. It will be essential for setup specialists to stay up to date with technological advances through continuing education, seminars, or work training.
