1. Clear whether OA product positioning in line with your expectations.
Of OA by different manufacturers are different product positioning, the choice of when you want to understand.

Such as "small secretary" position of Office Automation System:
Office automation system in one sentence is the unit for communication, coordination, control of a system.
Specifically the use of computer networks, office information flow to improve the speed and data sharing, the realization of the unit my wife, financial, and material with an effective follow-up events, supervision and aggregate, sector coordination, cooperation among departments to improve the office management tools and enhance efficiency.  A good office system should have three elements:

¡¤ Communication£º communication between the staff work together the basis for the exchange of good environment and a flexible means to enable the exchange of staff exchanges between the convenience of discussion and questions.
¡¤ Coordination: co-ordination is to ensure the smooth progress of the work of the premise that when a work is completed by the people, become co-ordination between the essential means of good co-ordination to ensure that people can work together between step, carried out smoothly.
¡¤ Control: Control is the successful completion of the work of the guidance and assurance, and improve the supervision and control means to enable a comprehensive understanding of the leadership of the progress of the work, control the work progress and quality, to ensure the successful completion of the work.
Well, office automation system (OA) of the unit have any effect? For the role of different levels are different.

¡¤For the purposes of senior leadership:
Office automation system (OA) is a set of information of information, management control, decision support system.
Office automation system (OA) business hours (a) the company, financial, administrative, personnel, operations and other departments to effectively together, is no longer a separate island information, business management or decision-makers can receive from the enterprise internal information, data, and wife of units, financial, and material and events, such as effective follow-up, supervision, and the basis for the formation of corporate strategic decision-making.

¡¤  For the case of middle-level cadres:
Office automation system (OA) using the sector and the basis of inter-departmental "data", to extract useful management "information", and grasp business processes and improve office efficiency; office automation system (OA) of the department of human, financial, and objects and events "quantitative" management, and effective follow-up, supervision, and give instructions to change the traditional "extensive" management to "fine" management.

¡¤ For the purposes of the general staff:
Provide a good means of office and the environment, so that accurate, efficient and pleasant to work.

2. The assessment of the level of corporate computer staff to consider the ease of use
Office automation to the enterprise system is not used by professionals, users of all employees, OA products which have a higher ease of use requirements.

3. Consider the use of office systems, the resistance to "the system to adapt to people," rather than "human adaptive system"
Generally speaking, when people want to change work habits, the instincts will have an exclusive, in particular, office automation systems to involve everyone. This requires the Office Automation System to be "people-oriented" to the system to adapt to the user's habits, not to change the user's habits, to adapt to the system, thereby reducing system in the office when the resistance.

4. Features the better it?
Select office system, the better, if only the pursuit of function, it will enter a misunderstanding:
First of all functions of the more complex nature of the operation would cause an increase in the use of the more difficult, the maintenance of more trouble;
Secondly, functional easy idle, resulting in a waste, just like mobile phones, there are a lot of features, we use it? ? ?
Third, more features, more expensive prices,
Finally, the soaring cost of services, increasing the risk of stealth, and even the application of fall by the wayside.
OA system to buy should consider what their actual needs and capacity to pay, if applicable as the starting point, then cut those dispensable firm a low utilization rate of "chicken" feature.

5. The concept of product design in line with your way of thinking, it relates to the characteristics of the entire product, just like a person's character.
OA in the choice of system should be aware of their product design ideas.  Design philosophy is the starting point for product design, which relates to the characteristics of the entire product, just like a person's character.  For example, our system design philosophy is "people-oriented" to "system to adapt to people," the product on the concept of cross-cutting, such as format statements can be defined by the user independent, fully in accordance with the users to design the format of the original, rather than Like most systems built as a fixed format, people to adapt to the system.

6. Whether large companies will be the development of OA products is good? First of all, the operation specializing in industry, large enterprises can be a strong software or hardware, not necessarily do a good job in OA, because they are different concepts. Secondly, the development of large enterprises amazing prices OA system, OA is often several times more than ordinary or even tens of times; it is more or less the same function. Once again, OA system, the development of technology and the concept of maturity, many companies have developed excellent software OA;  Finally, the large enterprises to develop more suitable for the OA system to large companies because small and medium-sized version of the use of small and medium enterprises need to have characteristics, including structure, function, process, maintenance and so on. The opposite is not the size of a big company has developed a system may be more useful, because they understand the small and medium-sized more direct and profound.

7. OA product development technology more advanced, the more complicated the more you?
 OA products have a variety of means, some companies have stressed the use of IBM technology, some say the use of Oracle databases, different terms are to use them to raise their value, in fact, carefully think about What is the relationship between these and the users do? For users, as long as the product easy to use, to meet the needs of users can be, just as cell phones, regardless of how it is done, the user is most concerned about whether it is easy to use, whether or not cheap.

First of all, their needs must be clear, I hope office automation system what kind of role play.
Generally very large companies, often the management of complex, often with special needs, so that manufacturers would generally require the existing function of OA based on custom development.

Small and Medium Enterprises

To resolve this problem, you need to look at the needs of small and medium-sized features: First of all, a small number of small and medium-sized computer, the number of users, therefore, I do not need special high-end database, and to the application of the main; Secondly, the small and medium-sized simple workflow, so function does not require particularly complex, and will be skills-oriented; again, the lack of small and medium-sized IT professionals require easy-to-use products and superior maintenance; Finally, the small and medium enterprises with limited funds, so the need for relatively inexpensive products.

A Brief Analysis Based on the above, we find that small and medium-sized selection OA software is the most fundamental principle of practical applications in response to small and medium-sized software OA, the OA can be called Ran pass the quality and representative works.  Ran Tong found in OA, we can see the best small and medium-sized OA software is perfect and small and medium-sized combination of characteristics.
