IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Intended Learning Outcomes After completing this session students should be able to; Describe how application software can support personal, workgroup and enterprise business objectives
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Last Lesson Software Application Software Overview of Application Software Types of Application Software Functions of Application Software
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Outline Software Application Software Personal Application Software Work Group Application Software Enterprise Application Software for Decision Support and specialised purpose
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Personal Application Software Hundreds of computer applications can help people. In addition to these general-purpose programs, thousands of other personal computer applications perform specialized tasks. This type of software, often called user software or personal productivity software includes the general-purpose tools and programs that support individual needs.
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Personal Application Software Word-processing applications are installed on most PCs today. These applications come a vast array of features. Spreadsheets are powerful tools for manipulating and analyzing numbers and alphanumeric data. Database applications are ideal for storing, organizing, and retrieving data. With graphics programs, it is easy to develop attractive graphs, illustrations, and drawings that assist in communicating important information. Personal information management (PIM) software helps people, groups, and organizations store useful information.
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Software Suites & Integrated Software Packages A software suite is a collection of single programs packaged together in a bundle. Software suites offer many advantages. Buying software in a bundle suite is cost-effective; the programs usually sell for a fraction of what they would cost individually In addition to suites, some companies produce integrated application package that contain several programs. Some companies offer Web-based productivity software suites.
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Other Personal Application Software People can use many other interesting and powerful application software tools. The features and capabilities of these applications can more than justify the cost of an entire computer system. You can find software for creating Web pages and sites, composing music, editing photos and videos. Also educational and reference software and entertainment, games and leisure software. Engineers, architects and designers often use computer-aided design (CAD) software to design and develop buildings, electrical systems, plumbing systems, and more.
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Workgroup Application Software Workgroup application software is designed to support teamwork. This support can be accomplished with software known as groupware that helps groups of people work together effectively. Also called collaborative software, the approach allows a team of managers to work on the same production problem.
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Workgroup Application Software Eg. : Group scheduling software, electronic mail and other software that enables people to share ideas. Lotus Notes from IBM lets companies use one software package and one user interface to integrate many business processes. Lotus Notes can allow a global team to work together from a common set of documents. Web-based software is ideal for group use. An increasing number of software applications are moving online to support group documents and information sharing.
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Enterprise Application Software that benefits an entire organization- enterprise application software-can also be developed specifically for the business or purchased off the shelf. Some software vendors, such as SAP, specialize in developing software for enterprises. Many organizations are moving to integrated enterprise software that supports supply chain management
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Enterprise Application Software Following are some applications that can be address with enterprise software. Accounts payable Accounts receivable Invoicing Airline industry operations Automatic teller systems Cash-flow analysis Manufacturing control Payroll Order entry Receiving Shipping Restaurant management Human resource management
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Enterprise Resource Planning Software Many corporations are turning to ERP software, a set of integrated programs that manage a company's vital business operations for an entire multisite, global organization. Most ERP systems provide integrated software to support manufacturing and finance. In addition, some ERP systems might support business function such as human resources, sales, and distribution.
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Enterprise Resource Planning Software The primary benefits of implementing ERP software include • eliminating inefficient systems • easing adoption of improved work processes • improving access to data for operational decision making • standardizing technology vendors and equipment • enabling supply chain management.

IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Application Software for Information, Decision Support, and Specialized Purposes Specialized application software for information, decision support, and other purposes is available in every industry. Information, decision support, and specialized systems are used in businesses of all sizes and types to increase profits or reduce costs. But how are all these systems actually developed and build?
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Programming Languages Both system and application software written in coding schemes called programming languages. The primary function of a programming language is to provide instructions to the computer system so that it can perform a processing activity. IS professionals work with programming languages, which are sets of keywords, symbols, and rules for constructing statements that people can use to communicate instructions to a computer. Program code is the set of instructions that signal the CPU to perform circuit-switching operations.
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Programming Languages Programming involves translating what a user wants to accomplish into a code that the computer can understand execute. Program code is the set of instructions that signal the CPU to perform circuit-switching operations. Compiler A special software program called a compiler converts the programmer’s source code into the machine language instructions which consists of binary digits.
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology How a Computer work? Stage 1 – Convert Program Computer Program Compiler Machine Language Program Stage 2 – Execute Program Machine Language Program Execution
IT 1105 Information Systems and Technology Question Identify the correct statement/s about Programming languages A) are used to write system software B) primary function is to provide instructions to the computer system C) IS professionals use it to accomplish certain tasks through IS. D) it contains sets of keywords, symbols, and rules for constructing statements E) it is used to communicate instructions to a computer.
