What is office automation?

The term office automation refers to all tools and methods that are
applied to office activities which make it possible to process written,
visual, and sound data in a computer-aided manner.
Office automation is intended to provide elements which make it
possible to simplify, improve, and automate the organisation of the
activities of a company or a group of people (management of

capturing handwritten notes. In particular, it also includes the
following activities:

• exchange of information
• management of administrative documents
