Workflow Technology-based Office Automation

With the rapid development of computer's network technique, social rhythm is quickening continuously and social information is expanding by leaps and bounds. Every unit needs urgently a set of highly office automation system from information collection, information arrangement to information transportation.Workflow technique is a kind of system technique that attracts a large number of development personnel and consumers in recent years. The workflow management system at the core is the main technique to improve efficiency and productivity of business process.This article firstly analyses the limitations of the existing office automation system, discusses workflow technique's characteristic, studies profoundly its application in office automation, constructs a system model of office automation based on workflow technique and gives the mathematical model of its workflow. On the basis of analyzing and comparing traditional development methods (Prototype Method and Life Circle Method), it reaches OA's development method which is based on workflow technique. This method starting with analyzing system's appropriate need accomplish the whole system's development, through extracting workflow, making workflow superior, constructing workflow's prototype, customer's trying out to finally conducting system integrated circuit. This method having all characteristics of Life Circle Method and efficient and flexible features of prototype well realizes software's atomization and autonomy.It is simple, efficient and convenience for us to put the above research achievement into use to develop college office automation system, it has better dynamic and upholding characteristic.
