The interviewer is asking this question as a roundabout way to find out what you believe makes an office successful. The word "piece" is very open-ended to allow for a wide range of responses.

The interviewer has purposely asked a very open-ended question. They want to see whether you will choose an object, technology, or something else. Choose your "piece" thoughtfully! Be prepared to explain how this piece contributes to the success of an office.

Avoid choosing something that is easily replaced or replicated. The piece you choose should have a clear purpose and an irreplaceable tie to the success of the office.

"The most important piece of a successful office is a great and secure operating system on the computers. Today, most offices store files, client data, and most communications, both internal and external, on their servers. This information must remain secure and accessible only to relevant parties."
