The difference between collaborative office system and OA;
Office automation pilot work, including accounting computerization. By the mid-1990s, countries and enterprises began to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in OA.
At that time, the application of OA only stayed in improving personal office efficiency, such as transferring manual printing to computer printing, or using simple database software to write programs to establish employee file data and find internal information.
However, the essence of OA office system is to improve the overall effect of office work in institutions or enterprises. Only the office software system developed in the sense of CSCW can improve the overall office function.
Therefore, since 2000, many domestic software manufacturers began to introduce the related concepts and functions of collaborative management into traditional OA applications.
