What is a BackOffice?

BackOffice (or Back Office) is a relatively new term that refers to the tasks, equipment, systems, and processes that you use in your day-to-day operations. The 'stuff' that nobody normally sees.

 

Wikipedia defines it as:

"A back office is a part of most corporations where tasks dedicated to running the company itself take place. The term "back office" comes from the building layout of early companies where the front office would contain the sales and other customer-facing staff and the back office would be those manufacturing or developing the products or involved in administration but without being seen by customers. Although the operations of a back office are seldom prominent, they are a major contributor to a business."
 

Although the term was originally used for corporations, back office operations are critical to every business, whether it's a home based office, a small two-person operation, or a medium sized, million dollar company. The key differences are who does the work, the equipment you use, the scope of the work, and the the methods you use. And of course, the budget!
