Week 4 - Clear




Of the four categories of Application Software, the Business category was most clear to me. Business software includes many different programs such as Spreadsheet, Word Processing, Database, Accounting, etc. These programs were designed to help people become more efficient and effective with their daily business activities.

Business software is extremely important in the business world. Word Processing programs, such as Microsoft Word and Corel Word Perfect, assist in preparing reports, memos, or transcription. Spreadsheet software programs, such as Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers, allows user to organize data in a spreadsheet. The spreadsheets may be set up with built in formulas to help quickly calculate data and display it in a usable format. Another option for businesses would be to utilize a Business Software Suite. By bundling the software programs , for example Microsoft Office and IBM Lotus Smart Suite, a business is able to reduce costs and create ease of use.

In order to get a better feel and understanding of a Business Software Suite, I explored the Microsoft Office website located at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX100647101033.aspx?pid=CL100569831033.
