OA Product Selection of the seven practical tips, how do we choose OA software? This article details how to combine business practice to select the OA software.
The most crucial is that OA can help you do, avoid large and
For enterprises, OA system after all, is to improve management efficiency within the enterprise as a "tool", which features so the OA system is the business to choose to be the most concerned factors, avoid large and comprehensive.
OA system development technology is a reference to the factors, and different development technologies for future maintenance, secondary development and systems integration, etc. will have a certain impact.
The system mature, stable, easy to use
OA systems generally involve the use of the vast majority of the whole company staff, a mature, stable, easy to use OA system more conducive to promoting the use of savings related training, maintenance, service and other costs.
Make full use of existing server hardware and system software
This is the full use of enterprises in the computer system has been investment in information systems to reduce the overall cost (TCO) of the important principles. For example: If an enterprise in the information construction process has been purchased Windows 2000, SQL Server and Exchange, which should no doubt be preferred ASP (ASP.Net) + SQL Server + Exchange of this model OA system.
Suggested the overall planning, step by step implementation of the principles for future follow-up information technology companies to prepare.
Easy to integrate and expand to other business systems and internal integration
In general, corporate OA system would not be a completely separate system, often with the business, or prepare for a future within the existing operational systems to implement the combination of information technology to avoid the formation of islands, between the lack of multiple systems association. At this time, the choice of OA products, we must focus on to consider the scalability of the product, whether left interface allows for rapid integration with other systems. Also, software providers can undertake its OA products to other business systems and enterprise integration, but also enterprises choose OA products, an important consideration. In addition, to the author's experience, if an enterprise there is the OA system with other business systems integration needs, Domino / Notes platform, is often not the best option. Because the company's business systems are generally based on relational databases, query and statistics are the main application, which is precisely the Domino / Notes is one weakness.
J2ee-based technical architecture of the OA system in this area has some advantages.
We should give full attention to the latter part of OA system maintenance and service
Computer application software systems the objective law are: the cost of the maintenance period represents about 30% of the software life cycle. Therefore, enterprises in the implementation of the OA system must pay attention to the latter part of maintenance, the focus must grasp the following aspects:
(1) to have the appropriate internal personnel to conduct post-OA system, maintenance, and product technology selection in the first, when we should take this into account.
(2) OA system has a good technical infrastructure, system management functions is a powerful (day to day management and maintenance without the support of developers), it has good customization features and secondary development interface.
(3) require software providers to provide the corresponding service commitment, and write the contract so that if necessary, require software providers to help resolve system problems.
If you choose the project type OA (there is a large number of secondary development), manufacturers need to see OA project team and the development and implementation of capacity, there is no good implementation of the project team, will lead to project failure.
In the security and ease of use to find a balance
If the business requirements for the OA security is paramount, and that there is no doubt should be selected based on the Domino / Notes of the OA system. However, in practical application, for "security" is not the pursuit of higher the better. This is like in order to prevent mobile phone theft, be locked in the coffers - of course, in terms of security has reached a high state, but lost the phone itself should have practical value. Based on Domino / Notes of the OA system in the enterprise application is not universal government departments, government departments based on Domino / Notes of the OA system, the utilization rate has not been too high, an important reason for the system in the "ease of use" somewhat lacking.
Finally, in conjunction with enterprise's budget choices the appropriate OA cost-effective software (currently on the market price of OA there is a number of different products), it is better able to provide product manufacturers OA trial.
