What is office automation ?

This is the process of optimising business systems, automating manual operations, connecting standalone software and organising information to increase business productivity.
By leveraging the latest techniques, it is possible to improve office productivity by up to 50%. The following are typical figures for office activity :-
  • 1% value added
  • 49% waste
  • 50% necessary non-value added

We maximise your resources by, firstly, analysing your existing business workflow, secondly, producing a variety of options to improve your productivity and finally implementing your chosen solution.
Our experienced business analysts, consultants and developers have many years experience.

 

 

   

Simplifying

A critical element to increasing productivity is to have a full understanding of your existing business processes. By creating or adding to existing documentation we provide the initial building block for the process improvement, an up to date detailed picture of the business processes. Once this is complete, we step you through the process improvements phases giving the immediate benefits of the enhanced systems.

 

 

   

Automating

Once a manual system is optimised, the next step is to automate all or part of it. The scope of the automation depends on how consistent a process is. Repetitive processes may be automated more easily than those which vary each time. Whatever type of business process you have, there are always huge opportunities to benefit from automation

 

 

   

Connecting and integrating

Often businesses systems consist of standalone systems such as the following:-
  • Customer databases
  • Accounts system
  • Stock control
  • Knowledgebase
  • Work instructions
  • Purchase orders
  • Suppliers database
  • Invoices

Often, the same information is held several times i.e. same names & addresses held in more than one place. We simplify the process by removing duplicate data, reducing data entry of and speed up the work flow.
Sometimes information is locked into closed systems. Often, our specialist can unlock this data and give access to this useful information.
