The calling at a ward level would be a custom calling. As the article said, there is a standard stake calling of Assistant Technology Specialist, it can be given to an adult or a youth (age 12 or up), and the person may be assigned to a specific ward or meetinghouse.
We have one called for each meetinghouse whose main function is to handle satellite and other streaming broadcasts for the building. They can certainly help with other functions, as well, such as helping teachers interface with Material Center TVs and other devices, and some of our more savvy assistants also help with satellite and other network issues.
And although they can be given the standard calling, it is worth noting that they have no access to anything special online other than the help pages. Even the Assistant Stake Clerk--Technology had access to LCR removed some time ago. That is why they do not show up on the Access Table.
For example, I can tell the stake presidency where to go looking for stake conference information, but I cannot actually access it myself. They were intrigued when I asked them to go and get the stake conference dates this year. And they were quite surprised when they discovered that they would be in different months this year than they have been in the past. It is a connected world--almost.
