Abstract:

This thesis attempts to transform the typical non-digital office into an efficient and productive digital office. The digital office will function as an environment that will operate as a system, integrating routine office functions with groupware. The design will utilize Windows for Workgroups as the network operating system and integrate groupware as tools to enhance office operations. The lessons learned from this experience will serve as a baseline for future experiments in the integration of commercial off-the-shelf products to a networked office environment.
