An office system is a sociotechnical system containing both technical and social subsystems which must be jointly optimized for the system to achieve maximum success. Orgware consists of the procedures, workflow, job redesign, training strategies, implementation plan, educational activities, system responsibilities, and so on which optimize the social component of the new work system.
