The following are some typical software packages for business systems.
(2)Software packages for each job role (Accounting, marketing
support, sales management software)
“Software packages for each job role” are general purpose software used
in areas such as accounting services, inventory control, and sales management. The packages compile functions required for tasks that are common
to all corporations, such as accounting and marketing management tasks,
employee payroll calculation tasks, and customer information management
tasks.
For example, an accounting software package allows trial balances, administrative data such as statements of accounts, and financial statements to be
created automatically simply by entering journal vouchers, and it allows
various analysis data for understanding busines s conditions to be created
easily.
Using software packages for each job role can drastically reduce the
amount of time and effort spent on tasks.

Business strategy
(1)ERP package
“ERP packages” are software packages developed with the aim of increasing business efficiency through integrated management of corporate
management resources (people, materials, money, and information).
By integrating systems managed by each department and making the information mutually available for reference or use, information can be managed in real-time, which results in benefits such as increased speed of business.
Also, some ERP packages can be expanded by adding on software components with special functions at a later date, allowing them to be tailored to
the corporation.
