#7  Simplicity
 

The main reason why computers have become a necessary part of the workplace today is because it makes tasks easier to accomplish. Instead of using pen and paper, we are able to create word documents, presentations, organization tables etc. through applications; this has made life much easier and less stressful for employees. Gone are the days of having to throw out a paper you worked an hour on because you made a mistake, all you need to do now is press one key and your mistake is gone. By making work easier, computers have also made employees less stressed and indirectly creates a much better working environment.

 

 

      #6 Customer Service

Customer Service is an integral part of any business, and the advancement in technology over the past decade has allowed this field to be much more efficient. Huge corporations often keep a database of customer information; computers allow them to quickly access these records and then make any necessary changes if needed. For example, a phone company will keep records of each customer’s information and service plans and if someone needed to change their plan or discontinue their service, the representative on the phone can easily do this from their computer. Instead of tediously searching through mountains of files and folders, which can take hours, they can simply search the customer in their database and retrieve information effortlessly. This will allow them to deal with the customer quicker resulting in much better service.           

 

 #5 Generate more profit

Computers at work can lead to an increase in profits. In industries such as manufacturing, computers are an invaluable piece of technology. They assist in the mass production of items that would have taken assembly lines countless hours to produce a mere quantity. By implementing computers to take control of assembly processes, the job is done much quicker as well as less prone to human error. This increase in productivity can bring an increased profit margin as the company would be able to put out more products faster, and cheaper since there would be fewer wages to pay. Also, by using computers, workplaces can reach promote their product to a wider audience through the internet. This globalization can also further increase the company’s profit margin.

With the help of computers, workplaces that deal with a lot of replication now save thousands of hours every year! Computer use in a workplace such as a law office that creates almost identical documents can have effective and efficient results in less time. Other workplaces, such as banks, also receive a great amount of advantage because of computers. Computers can be very useful for billing purposes, for instance, where the content is nearly identical but with a different name and address on each one.
