Operation, monitoring and control of multi-system information processing or transmission equipment. Typical systems and equipment may include mainframe consoles, on-line terminals, peripheral equipment, telecommunication systems and devices, and media production and broadcast equipment.
This classification is not typically used. Current technology does not require the physical attention that was common in the past--changing tapes in drives, for example. Some operations have increased in complexity--job scheduling now requires a much deeper knowledge of software and interactions with other systems. Other operations have been taken over by end-users--media production equipment is operated directly by those responsible for content.
