Section A: Automation Approach
Nowadays Automation in office means is just not to process of mechanizing the tasks,
it includes utilizing computer technologies to automated companies procedures as managing
and storing labor resources and activities lessen the manual intellectual work in management
(Bradford, Earp &Grabski, 2014). It is now possible to transmit and encode data, visual
information and letters in digital form. By utilizing automation telecommunication, data
processing has been measured as different aspects of single information technology rather
than aspects of different fields. Regional Garden Ltd was doing all their management
procedures from Bathurst and all process is handled manually. As their company is growing
their storage and server system is also needed to implement and automated work is required
to manage all information and proper execution.
