TASK 1: Understand the importance of employing office


supporting tools.
Task 1.1: Briefly explain the various business processes that the
following software supports at Money Matters:
• Decision making software.
• Desktop publishing software.
• Data mining software.
• Multimedia software.
• Logistics software.
• Digital dashboard software.
• Enterprise software.
• Project management software.
Decision Making Software.
Decision-making software (DM software) is software for computer applications that help
individuals and organisations make choices and take decisions, typically by ranking,
prioritizing or choosing from a number of options. in 1973, first decision making software
was described. The first web-based DM software was appeared in the mid-1990s. there are
lots of advantages when business use DM software,
• DM optimizing the company’s performance and give us to an overview of the
company’s situation.
• The decision-making software can be used in relation to the company’s finances,
accounting or strategy.
• This type of software used in Business Intelligence (BI) also enables various key
roles at the company, such as decision-makers and analysts, as well as clients and
partners to easily access the information relevant to them in their collaboration with
the company.
• Its modeling functions enable it to carry out all kinds of simulations: sales results,
cash flow, exchange rate variations, and so on. This makes it easier to plan an
investment or the allocation of surplus cash, or on the contrary to request bank loans
or other types of financing. It is also a reliable way to verify whether the
organization’s strategy is still appropriate or needs to be modified.
Desktop Publishing Software.
Desktop publishing software helps companies create their own high-quality marketing
materials. Reports, advertisements and newsletters can be printed on an in-house printer,
removing the wait time incurred by engaging a printing company to do the job.
The first DTP software was released in the mid-80s and desktop-publishing skyrocket from
there. In the early 90s desktop publishing had almost completely replaced previous
technologies used for that purpose. There are lots of benefits of desktop publishing
software’s for companies,
• Lower marketing and printing costs for company.
• We can get more professional layouts and more customization available inside the
software.
• Easy-to-make revisions.

• Desktop publishing software can save companies money, time and hassle by
eliminating the use of third-party print shops and online vendors.
Data Mining Software.
Data mining can be defined as a process of exploring and analysis for large amounts of data
with a specific target on discovering significantly important patterns and rules. Data mining
techniques have been used to extract hidden patterns and predict future trends and
behaviors in financial markets.
Advanced statistical, mathematical and artificial intelligence techniques are typically required
for mining such data, especially the high frequency financial data. Solving complex financial
problems using wavelets, neural networks, genetic algorithms and statistical computational
techniques is thus an active area of research for researchers and practitioners. Data mining
software’s gets lots of benefits to company,
• An important role in helping organizations to understand their customers and their
behavior.
• Keeping clients, stocks anticipation, sale policies optimization as well as other
benefits which bring a considerable competitive advantage to the organization.
• Finding patterns and hidden (but relevant) relations that might lead to revenue
increase in company.
Multimedia Software.
Multimedia software was developed to create new multimedia content and enhance the
visual and auditory features of already existing material. As its name implies, multimedia
software always involves several types of media that are interlinked with each other.
Other online platforms like blogs, websites, social media sites such as Facebook and
Twitter, among others, are available and accessible. These multimedia tools and platforms,
if used suitably, can help entrepreneurs and startup founders in growing their business.
there are some benefits of multimedia software’s,
• Using multimedia any business can sell their product anywhere in the world on
internet.
• By placing advertisement in millions of online websites business can be increased
effectively.
• PowerPoint presentation is also an effective way to give details of their product.
• Advertising industry uses multimedia for marketing various products.
Logistics Software.
Logistics software essentially is a program designed to help businesses manage the
multitude of elements that go into the production process. Logistics software manages the
supply chain of products from their point of origin to the point of consumption via
transportation, inventory, warehousing, material-handling and packaging features. There are
important features to us,
• Logistics software manage orders like Track the status of orders, manage invoicing,
manage recurring orders.
• Keeps track and manage of all information about the items that your company builds,
buys, stores or sells.
• Manage and coordinate inventory and actions throughout a warehouse or distribution
center.
• Plan, execute, and optimize the physical movement of goods.
• Anticipate customer demand and plan resources or production appropriately by
coordinating data from separate units of the business.

Task 1.2: Identify FOUR (4) features of bespoke software and FOUR (4)
features of commercial off-the-shelf software. Recommend which you
think is the most appropriate type of software for Money Matters to use
and briefly explain your choice.
Bespoke software.
Bespoke software is software customized for a specific purpose. Bespoke software can be
beneficial for every company because of:
01. Control.
• When you creating bespoke software, you are the one who decides
what the solution will look like and how it will work in general.
Therefore, developers gather your requirements and then develop
what you need. Also, you can add or remove features in your opinion.
So, you can get full control of this software’s.

02. Simplicity and Efficiency.


• Bespoke solutions offer all the features you need and nothing more.
you can also be sure your team will understand the software very well.
It doesn’t contain unnecessary and inappropriate components, which
shortens the learning time. So, Bespoke software’s are very simple.
Using a proper software has a great impact on
the efficiency of your work. bespoke software’s offers great analytical
tools, which allows you to visualize the effects of your work. That way
you can discover the flaws of your company and eliminate them. The
software is able to provide you with flexibility when it comes to
changing your requirements during the development process or
upgrading. therefore, bespoke software’s are more efficiency.

03. Security
• Another major benefit of bespoke software development is security.
As you are the only one using that software and you have complete
control over it, a hacker attack is less likely to take place. bespoke
software’s protects your business from external threats. Breaching a
tailor-made system is much more difficult and gives hackers much
less data in return.

04. Complete ownership


• You are not obliged to continue cooperation with any specific vendor
as you are the legal owner of the product. Also, the ownership also
allows you to save money. You can use it for as many employees as
you need, and you don’t need to worry about additional costs or
upgrades. It is you who decides if it needs additional features or
customizations.

Commercial off-the-shelf software.


Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software is a term for software products that are ready-
made and available for purchase in the commercial market. The few advantages of off-the-
shelf software’s,
01. Initially the cheaper option and quick to implement.
• An off the shelf product is usually the cheapest way to purchase a new
software solution. Because it is a pre-made product created for the mass-
market. Also, we don't need to deploy money to develop or upgrade the
software.
The commercial off-the-shelf software has already been
developed and it is a pre-existing product, all you have to do is buy it and
install it. So, this software’s are quick to implement.

02. You can try the software and reviewing it before you buy.
• Most solutions offer some form of trial, either free or discounted, making it
easy to testing the product for yourself and can see how it fits in with your
work process.
And while the software is being used by other people, it
means that you can get an understanding of how they are using the product
and how quality of this product.

03. Can offer you more functionality than you need.


• As commercial software is made for the mass market, it has to be created
with the functionality in place to please as many people as possible. when
you take on an off the shelf solution, you could find that the product can do
everything you need it to and more.

04. There are pre-existing solutions for the software problems.


• there are lots of people using this software. so, you will find that there is
pre-existing support available for software products. This could be anything
from an FAQ list on their site, a user forum. the pre-users and the vendor
will be aware of some bugs or common issues and would have provided the
solution.

After considering all these points, my recommendation is the bespoke software’s are good
for this company.
Because, Money Matters is a well-known finance company. so, many of people
are do transactions with this company. and also, this company handle lots of money their
clients. therefore, in terms of security, the bespoke software’s are very high. also, this
software unique to the company and also company has complete ownership for this
software. therefore, I am highly recommended the bespoke solution for this company.

Task 1.3: Some of the new IT apprentices have been selected to learn
how to develop application software features. Identify SIX (6) problems
can occur in end user development.
01. While end user development the developers must know multiple coding languages.
but most of trainee developers are specialized in few coding languages. Therefore,
they need to learn some languages while coding.
02. Sometime development often takes more time than project managers are decide
before.
03. The end-users are not specialists in the development field so issues such as bad
design, incorrect logic, inadequate testing and not adhering to development
standards occur.
04. End user development may have lack of security, backup and recovery features.
05. End user developers don't have big idea about what client need and their
recommendation.
06. Some end user developers are don't check errors in their final product. therefore,
clients are using faulted software’s or it can cause applications to crash or hang.

Task 2.3: State SIX (6) benefits of using mail merge.


01. You can send same document to many recipients using mail merge. If u didn't have
this option, you'll have to copy paste the same document changing the addresses of
the recipients. so, it is important to the who interact with lots of people.
02. The customization that you make to the main document also appears in all other
documents, so you don’t have to do it all again.
03. The ability to edit or customize documents according to the need of the recipient.
This means with conditional formatting you can change how mail merge handles your
data based on the conditions that you provide.
04. Letters can be sent to people who meet specific criteria. this mean we can choose
and send people who really need this document.
05. Mail merge can save you from having to purchase expensive letterhead. Instead, you
can create templates and print them off as needed. Also, you can send it lots of
people same time.
06. Mail merging is saving time because we don't need to type each document one by
one.
