Integrated Office Information System (IOIS)

Abstract : The objective of this research is to study and build a prototype of an Integrated Office Information System (IOIS). The need for this system is derived from problems in existing automated office systems including: the lack of standard software tool user interfaces, excessive use of paper to transmit information, redundant and inconsistent information in common databases, and haphazard coordination and control of information exchange. The proposed IOIS will address these problems by providing the means to accomplish a variety of office tasks while maintaining data integrity, reducing the flow of paper, improving communication, and standardizing user interfaces and software protocols. Keywords: Information systems, Information retrieval.
