Office Automation

Office Automation is not only a paperless activity coordination platform, but also a bridge closely connecting different organizations. By using the browser and centralized database in the OA system, the user can easily manage the editing, approval and publishing of information and obtain assessment and feedback from the people in real-time. The system forms an effective linkage between information publishers and receivers and helps organizations to publish different types of information such as announcements and meeting notices. It allows everyone to deal with business communications effectively at any time and anywhere.

OA provides a user-defined e-Form and e-Flow facility to allow users to create different notification and request forms for reviews, comments and approvals. It also provides the employee portal for each user. In the Employee Portal, the user can access to different facilities such as:

OA allows the user to define multi-stage form approval flow and with multiple steps in each stage. OA also allows the user to specify what stages and steps will be executed in parallel and what stages and steps will be executed in serial. The user can also define when an approver rejects the form, the re-approval will start from the beginning or the rejection point.

Similar to the intra-department form approval flow, the user can define interdepartmental and inter-company form approval flow. Users from different departments and companies can do approval via login, email or smart phone.
