Business Software

Software is like the brain of the computer, it's the set of instructions that tells the computer what to do. Software has become indispensable in the business world since it speeds up tasks which are normally done on pen and paper.

Companies rely on expensive software that varies depending on the type of business and what product or service they provide. For example, the company Golder Engineering which is a Civil Design Firm has spent over $3'000 on a program called Civil 3D, it is a massive program used for technical design not available for the regular consumer but only to businesses, the employees of this company could not do their job without it since you cannot simulate 3 dimentional drawings on a piece of paper.

Another example of software aiding in business is accounting software. Accounting software is very important for accountants, since it makes the job of keeping records and calculating values much easier and effective than using pen and paper.

I think software is very important in business as I myself regularly use Excel to make calculations and store information for my Math and Accounting business classes. It helps me design a table so that I don't have to memorize formulas but it does the job just by imputing the numbers and calculating the data. Another way I use software for business purposes is Microsoft Word to create letters and written documents and use Microsoft Powerpoint to aid in presentations.
