Web Site to Aid Technology Specialists

Stake technology specialists can access information online for supplemental help in fulfilling their callings. A site launched as part of LDS.org provides troubleshooting solutions for a number of tasks these members are called to perform.

“We wanted to make sure that these specialists knew there were resources available to them,” said Bill Bush, program manager for the Information and Communications Systems Department of the Church.

A collection of hundreds of articles concerning common assignments are available, covering a range of topics such as receiving satellite transmissions, compiling and maintaining computer records, and using the missionary online recommendation system for those countries where the system has been implemented. PDF versions of letters and broadcast information are accessible from the site as well as a summary of the roles and responsibilities the technology specialist fulfills.

Any feedback technology specialists provide on the site is appreciated. Brother Bush said, “We’d like to know what issues are on people’s minds.”

The site is currently available in English and Spanish and is being translated into German, Japanese, Portuguese, and Russian. Access the site at staketech.lds.org.
