Software Suites

       


  

A software suite is a collection of separate application programs bundled to gether and made a cabection of sep. While the applications function exactly the same whether purchased in a suite or separately, it is significantly less expensive to buy a suite of applications than to buy each applica tion separately. There are four basic categories of software suites:

• Productivity suite. Productivity suites, also known as office soft ware suites or simply office suites contain professional-grade ap plication programs that are typically used in a business situation. Productivity suites commonly include a word processor, spread sheet, database manager, and a presentation application. The best known is Microsoft Office. Other well-known productivity suites are Apple iWork, Sun StarOffice, Corel Word Perfect Office Suite, and Lotus SmartSuite.

• Alternative office suites. Traditionally, when you purchase an fice suite you are licensed to use the application and a copy of the software is stored on your computer. Recently, several alternative office suites are available for free as downloadable software or as online appli cations. The download able office suites are stored on your desktop computer just like the tra ditional office suites. The online office suites are stored online and are avail able anywhere you can ac cess the Internet. Documents created using online applications can also be stored online, making it easy to share and collabo rate on documents with thers. However, the down de to online applications = that you are dependent upon the server providing the application to be available whenever you need it. For this reason, when using online applications, it is important to have backup copies of your documents on your computer and to have a desktop of fice application available to use. Documents created using these applications are compatible with Microsoft Office. Popular downloadable office suites in clude StarOffice, IBM Lotus Symphony, and OpenOffice. Popular online office suites are Google Docs, Zoho, and ThinkSmart.

• Specialized suite. Specialized suites focus on specific applications. These in clude graphics suites, financial planning suites, and many others.

• Utility suite. These suites include a variety of programs designed to make com puting easier and safer. Two of the best known are Norton System Works and Nor ton Internet Security Suite.


            Many times it is convenient to share data between applications. For example, when writing a report, it may be useful to include a chart from a spreadsheet or data from a database. Data created by one application can be shared with an other application in a variety of different ways, including copying and pasting, object linking, and object embedding.

Automations and robotics

Automations and robotics refer to the use of technology to automate and perform tasks that were previously done by humans. Automation involves the use of software, machines, and other systems to perform tasks without human intervention. Robotics, on the other hand, involves the design and development of machines that can perform tasks autonomously or with limited human intervention. Automations and robotics are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and agriculture. In manufacturing, robots are used to perform repetitive and dangerous tasks, such as welding and painting. In healthcare, robots are used to perform surgeries and assist patients with mobility issues. In transportation, automated systems are used to control traffic flow and ensure the safety of drivers and passengers. In agriculture, robots are used to plant and harvest crops, reducing the need for manual labor. Advancements in technology have led to the development of more sophisticate...
