Question
what is office automation and group collaboration software?
I believe the answer to your question is as follows. Please note that I work mostly by myself so do not use any group collaboration software or office automation software per se.
Microsoft makes software, MS Word if I understand the functions of the current versions, that allow a group of people to work on a document. It will track changes and modifications. Other software by Microsoft and other vendors allow for collaboration. You might search (using Google or other search engine) for the term group collaboration software
"Office automation" is a generic term used to describe software that allows various office functions to be processed more efficiently. The precise functions might vary depending on the type of business. Spreadsheets, or other office software can be used for this purpose as well as software more specific to a particular type of business.
Hope all this answers your question.
