Office Automation: Three User Experiences

Article Abstract:

The type of computer needed by a company varies with the specific functions and tasks that must be carried out. A real estate tax lawyer used the CPT 8100 word processing system in his practice. The increased efficiency and reduction of paperwork allowed the lawyer to concentrate more heavily upon legal matters. Similarly, Webtor Electronics Inc. increased its productivity by acquiring Microdata's Reality 6000 mini-computer system. The computer is able to handle order entry, inventory control, order processing, billing, and financial control. Computers can lower the costs of doing business and increase the rate of communication.
