Office Automation Systems

The automation of everyday office tasks is one of the key results of the electronic revolution. Word processors, spreadsheets, databases, accounting packages, networks, and e-mail are but some of the innovations that have transformed the way we work in the late twentieth century. Integrated into a smoothly working business system, office automation tools can vastly improve office productivity. Indeed, no modern office can hope to survive without many of them.

Yet the very richness and diversity of these tools is the source of some of our most serious office problems. With tens of thousands of programs running on dozens of different kinds of computers and operating systems, often linked together by a variety of networks, the potential for incompatibilities is great.

CSC approaches each hardware and software component as part of a life cycle solution. First, we ensure that the components we select and the system we develop meet your needs. Second, we install your system and make sure that it keeps running smoothly. Third, we add new technology to meet your evolving needs.

Whether you need secure or non-secure office automation systems networked locally or nationwide, CSC can get your business running smoothly as quickly as you need.

What We Offer || Success Stories

What We Offer

Requirements Analysis and System Design
The first stage of developing an office automation solution consists of a requirements analysis. We study your key business processes to understand how they work, then design a solution that best suits your needs.

Detailed Design and Testing
CSC is not committed to particular manufacturers, but selects the best commercial off-the-shelf applications and hardware for your needs. We build a prototype of the system we propose, and evaluate it in our labs to make sure it works the way you want it to. Only then do we build and test the system itself.

Deployment
Once we have thoroughly tested your system, we install the system at our warehouse where we test it again. This "hot-staging" step allows us to make sure that it will work right when we move it to your office, and that we will disrupt your operations for the shortest time possible. When we have installed it in your office, we test the system again and train the system's users and administrators so that your organization will be up and running right away.

Success Stories

CSC's Office Automation Secure Information System (OASIS) provides secure networks and extensive office automation to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). The integrated system consists of high-performance PCs linked together by state-of-the-art network devices. We also have integrated commercial off-the-shelf office automation software that meets the OSD's full range of needs, from basic word processing to sophisticated technical development environments.

CSC also ensures the highest level of data security for OASIS by using both Tempest and other configurations, disk encryption and end-to-end encryption on the network. CSC has installed more than 100 of these networks, each linking up to 500 workstations.

CSC has delivered several networked office automation systems to other U.S. government agencies, as well. Our customers include the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Department of Justice.
