The Software Department
contains the intangible assets of a business, in theory. Software refers, in actuality, to the codes of
programs that run the computer and the applications that run on the computer
Operating System (OS) software. Moreover,
there are also program codes embedded in the computer system hardware itself, for
example, the Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS).
However, this Software Department is only in charge of all the software applications that are not inherent to the system’s operating functions.
The Software Department only handles software like Microsoft’s Word,
Excel, Powerpoint, Access, Outlook, utility software like Quickbooks, and
programming languages like Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) and Java. Microsoft Windows is an OS software running
the computer itself and is therefore consign to the Hardware Department.
In theory, one does not need
a third party software of the OS or applications type only if one can make an OS
for the computer. But that would take at
least a year to develop and test for proper functioning. "So we rely on what’s already on the market
and concentrate on our own line of business instead.
Just like that old adage says, “There is no
need to reinvent the wheel.”
