Integrated Application

Software
Presented by: Vernon D. Pranilla
Integrated Application Software
• Integrated software is a collection of
software especially created to work
on closely related programs.
• These are used in personal computers
where the most commonly used and
most similar programs are grouped
together in one application in the
form of a suite.
What is software and application?
• Software is a set of instructions or data that operates the hardware.
• Application is a package to perform a specific task.
Application
• Applications, often referred to as apps, are a type of software that is
designed to run on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.
However, the term can also be used to refer to software that is
designed to run on desktop or laptop computers.
• Applications are generally designed to perform specific tasks, just like
software. However, they are often more straightforward and
streamlined than traditional software programs.
Software
• Software is a broad term that refers to instructions that tell a computer
what to do. This can include everything from operating systems like
Windows or macOS to specialized programs like Photoshop or Excel.
The software can be installed on a computer, run from a CD or USB
drive, or accessed through the internet.
• One important thing to note is that software is generally designed to
perform a specific task or set of tasks.
• For example, a word processing program is designed to help you write
and edit documents, while a video editing program is designed to help
you edit and produce videos. While some software can perform
multiple tasks, most are designed to do one thing very well.
Types of Software
• The software can be broadly classified into operating systems, system
software, and application software.
1. Operating systems are the most fundamental type of software that
controls the essential functions of a computer. Examples of operating
systems include Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
2. System software is another type of software designed to manage and
optimize the performance of a computer system. Examples of system
software include device drivers, antivirus software, and utility programs.
3. Application software is a type of software that is designed to perform a
specific task or set of tasks. Examples of application software include
word processors, spreadsheet programs, and web browsers.
Key Features of Software

• Software is characterized by a few key features: complexity,


customization, and versatility. The software can be highly complex,
with thousands or even millions of lines of code. At the same time,
software can also be highly customizable, allowing users to
personalize the user interface, features, and functionality. Finally,
software can be incredibly versatile, performing various tasks and
functions.
What is the difference between
an app and an application?
• An app is a piece of software designed for a single purpose or a single
function. An application, however, is a piece of software that
performs a variety of related functions.
Software vs. Application: Why
Understanding the Difference Matters
Why does it matter whether you’re using software or an application? There are a
few key reasons:
1. Software programs can be expensive, while many applications are available for
free or at low cost.
2. Software programs are often more versatile than applications, but may be
overkill for simple tasks.
3. Software programs may have compatibility issues, while applications are often
designed to work on a wide range of devices and operating systems.
4. Applications are often easier to use and understand than software programs,
making them a good choice for non-technical users.
5. Applications can be used on mobile devices, making them highly portable and
convenient.
What is productivity software?

• Productivity software is a category


of application programs that help
users produce things such as
documents, databases, graphs,
spreadsheets and presentations.
• Productivity software increases
efficiency by facilitating people's
tasks.
What is productivity software
used for?
• Many productivity applications are intended for business use.
Employee productivity -- sometimes referred to as workforce
productivity -- is an assessment of the efficiency of a worker or group
of workers.
• Productivity software, like most types of applications, is increasingly
available for mobile devices. However, mobile productivity apps are
generally for basic tasks like email, note taking and calendar
functions, rather than more substantial tasks such as word processing.
What are the benefits of using
productivity software?
• There are many benefits to using productivity software, including the following:
• Increased efficiency. By automating tasks and providing templates and other
tools, productivity software can help users work more quickly and efficiently.
• Improved accuracy. Automated features can help reduce errors in data entry
and other tasks.
• Greater flexibility. Productivity software often provides a range of ways to view
and manipulate data, making it easier to find the information you need and
tailor it to your specific needs.
• Enhanced collaboration. Many productivity applications now include features
that make it easy to share documents and work on them together with
colleagues, which can improve communication and collaboration.
Examples of productivity tools

• Microsoft Office is one of the most well-known suites, which includes


Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook and Publisher.
• Google Workspace is a suite that includes Google Docs, Google
Sheets, Google Slides and Google Forms.
• Apache OpenOffice is a popular open source suite that includes
Writer for word processing, Calc for spreadsheets, Impress for
presentations, Draw for graphics and Base for databases.
• Apple iWork is a suite from Apple that includes Pages for word
processing, Numbers for spreadsheets and Keynote for presentations.
Are there any disadvantages of
using productivity software?
• Increased dependence on technology. Relying on productivity
software can make it difficult to work if there are technical problems
or employees don't have access to a computer.
• IT support issues. If employees are not familiar with the software,
they might need help from IT support staff to use it effectively, which
can add to costs.
• Complexity. Some productivity applications can be complex and time-
consuming to learn, which can offset any efficiency gains.
Advantages of using software
• Flexibility: Software can be customized to meet specific needs and
requirements.
• Power: Software can perform complex tasks quickly and efficiently.
• Integration: Software can be integrated with other software and
hardware to create a complete system.
How to choose the right
productivity software?
When choosing productivity software, it's important to consider your specific needs
and requirements. Below are a few key points to keep in mind when selecting
productivity software.
• The types of tasks you need to do. Make a list of the tasks you need to be able to
do with the software. This will help you narrow down your options.
• How many features you need. If you're just using it for personal use, you might not
need as many features as if you're using it for business purposes.
• Your budget. Productivity suites can be expensive, so it's important to consider
how much you're willing to spend. There are also some good free options available.
• Your level of expertise. If you're not very familiar with computers, you might want
to choose a tool that's relatively easy to use.
• Compatibility with other software. Make sure the productivity software you
choose is compatible with any other software you're using.
