rear office; administrative departments of a company, departments that have little or no contact with clients
A back office is a part of most
corporations where tasks dedicated to running the company itself take place. Examples of back-office tasks include
IT departments that keep the phones and computers running,
accounting, and
human resources. These tasks are often supported by back office systems: secure e-commerce software that processes company information (i.e. a database). A back office system will keep a record of the company’s sales and purchase transactions, and update the inventory as needed. Invoices, receipts, and reports can also be produced by the back office system.
