Software to improve productivity

 

a. Choosing your operating system

 

Every PC, notebook, portable or handheld device has to have an operating system. It's even better if the operating system that you use in your PC is compatible with your other portable computing devices.

 

The other programs are called applications. Example: Word-processing.

 

The application programs use the operating system by making requests for services.

 

There's quite a range of software to choose from offering a wide span of applications, all of which are designed to make everyone's life in the office easier and more personally fulfilling.

 

For your business, you should consider

 

  • Word-processing
  • Spreadsheet
  • Financial management
  • Asset control
  • Presentations
  • Daily diary and scheduler
  • Digital imaging
  • Computer protection
  • System security
  • Email and Web browsing
  • The Multitask productivity package

 

What should I be asking about software?

 

  • Is it genuine?
  • Will it give me what I want?
  • Is the software pre-installed or not?
  • Do I need additional security software?
  • How can I keep my computer system 'clean'?
