The use of an office automation application might already be present in your company to some level without you realising it. Though this type of automation is subtle it has a massive impact on the optimisation of processes within an organisation.

In this article, we will explain what office automation consists of and the application and benefits it could provide a company.

What is Office Automation?

Office automation makes use of a variety of computer systems and software in order to digitally collect, store, transfer, analyse, change, and make use of office data. This in turn allows the office automation application to move data and execute tasks without human intervention. This automation and lack of human intervention increases efficiency as well as accuracy in the workplace.

What Are the Applications of Office Automation?

There are many effects and applications that office automation could be utilised for; however, there are three main functions that office automation fulfils and through which it provides value. These three aspects consist of:

• Store Information: Office automation applications capture and store information. This information includes data found in forms, documents, files, spreadsheets, images and more. This also typically would allow for editing of the information gathered.
• Manage Your Data: By making use of this type of automation it will be much easier to manage your data. Now managing multiple projects and organising the data from those projects becomes accessible to everyone who has access, increasing visibility and the efficiency of processes within the organisation. Office automation applications will be able to handle long- and short-term data.
• Exchange Data with Ease: It is now possible for colleagues to exchange data in real-time via a network connection.

All of these aspects work together to create an environment that operates optimally and will enhance customer service, the tracking of metrics, employee satisfaction and decision-making.
