Do you still remember the time when office clerks still use typewriters to create documents? Look at it now, almost all offices have computers so that they can create documents in a nick of time.
Basically, for a computer to manipulate documents, it needs something, something which will let the user type, edit, copy, paste, and print documents. That "something" is called the word processing software.
In order to automate a lot of processes in the office, having a computer is a must. With automation, all the paper works, even the spreadsheets, can be accomplished in no time. Unlike before, we do it manually.
Doing office tasks manually can be stressful and full of hassle, which is why in order for us to somehow minimize the stress and lessen the hassle in doing various office tasks we need to use computers.
One of the hardest things to do when it comes to offices is the filing of documents. You need to arrange the files in the file cabinet in alphabetic order, or in order by which all documents can be retrieved easily. But with the help of computers, you no longer need a file cabinet; all you need is a hard drive which has ample space so that all the files can be stored virtually. Hard copies are no longer necessary when it comes to automation, but you can still print documents to have hard copies if you want to.
Computers can also help the business in various fields such as in monitoring the attendance of the employees and in preparing the payroll. With this, the office does no longer need to hire people to do a lot of tasks thus saving the office not just time but also money.
If you want to make your office work easier, automation is the answer.
