Investment Department is invested in the continuing existence and possible progress of the business. Therefore, it is only proper that the business uses technology that it will not outlast when the business grows.
One of the investment the business could make is in the existing technology available for accounting and database recording. Available software for these two (2) areas of business application, however, are not that many. The reason for this is that the greatest consumer of business software, i.e., the large companies, do not use them. Instead, large companies and organizations, like the U.S. government, hire programmers to make programs for accounting and database recording that are usable only inside the company or organization.
Let's take a brief look at these available accounting and database recording software.
QuickBooks is limited to 14,500 individual records in totality of all different records. This limit is not viable to a large company's ever-growing list of customers, employees, and vendors.
Microsoft Excel 2013 is a spreadsheet software limited to 2 GB file using a 32-bit microprocessor. Using a 64-bit microprocessor, this file size is limited only by the PC system RAM size. Excel, however, is not a database software.
Microsoft Access is limited to a database file of 2 Gigabyte and a limit to each individual record of 2,000 characters. These restrictions will certainly make large companies to consider other alternatives.
Fortunately, there are existing programming languages that can offer a large company or a large organization, like the U.S. government, a viable solution to their current and future needs. Among the most popular programming languages in use today are the following: Java, C, C++, Visual Basic, and the old standards, COBOL and Fortran.
