Office Automation

Course:Applied Research

The challenge for this paper was to respond to a hypothetical RFP for office automation from NYU. I was pleased with the practical solutions I offered, but - as instructor marginal notes show - the true focus of the paper was to demonstrate and understanding of good process and explain how I got there.

I submitted my paper under the name of my real new media service entity, Reality Conversions.
