Abstract
This book is a treatise on the technical aspects of office information systems. Before discussing these aspects, we need to provide motivation. Somehow one needs to have some understanding of the typical structures and problems in the modern office, and some feeling for what is really happening in the office today. We devote the greater part of this chapter to the development of this understanding and feeling.
