Manual office systems always put pressure on people to be correct in all aspect of their work especially the Admin.  With manual systems the level of service is dependent on individuals and this puts a requirement on management to run training continuously for staff to keep them motivated and to ensure they are following the correct procedures.  It can be all too easy to accidentally switch details and end up with inconsistency in data entry or in hand written orders.  This has the effect of not just causing problems with customer service but also making information inavailablefor reporting or finding trends with data discovery.  Reporting and checking that data is also a problem and can be time consuming and expensive.  
Other problems caused by the manual Office system are:

1. Inconsistency in data entry, room for errors,
2. Large ongoing staff training cost.
3. System is dependent on good individuals.

5. Time consuming and costly to produce reports.
6. Lack of security of data.
7. Duplication of data entry.
