About Back Office Computing

Who writes Back Office Computing and what it covers.

Back Office Computing is a set of plain notes on the computer side of running a small office: backups, passwords, choosing laptops, reading software terms, keeping a record of online accounts and spotting email fraud.

Who writes it

The notes are written by Harriet Lowell, a pen name for someone who has looked after the computers in several small offices without being anyone's full-time IT department. No professional certification is claimed. The aim is the practical routine, not the theory.
