Experiment -1.

(Role of Software)
Objective:-

To identify the role of the software in today’s world across a few

significant domains related to day to day life.

1. Education
2. Airlines
3. Banking Insurance
4. Retail
5. Health Care
6. Railways

A Computer Software is a sequence of instructions written to perform a

specified task with a computer. A computer requires programs to function,
typically executing the program's instructions in a central processor.
The program has an executable form that the computer can use directly to
execute the instructions. The same program in its human-readable source
code form, from which executable programs are derived enables a
programmer to study and develop its algorithms.

➢ EDUCATION

Computer applications include, but are not limited to, desktop publishing and
presentations, computer use in classrooms, telecommunications and distance
education, computer hardware and software, networking, lab administration,
multimedia presentations, and publishing.
Following are the different types of software used in context of Education:-
1. School Administration
2. Data Managements
3. Benefit to Students
4. Fee Collection
1. School Administration:-

The school administration module is most important part of school.

Managing school’s day to day activities is very difficult for the school
administration department ,Software helps to educational institutions to
reduce the time and maintain school data accuracy.

Module Benefits:-

• Accurate maintenance of School Data.

• Add or Delete The School or Trust Information
• Password Protected Authority to Maintain Privacy
• Pre Planned Design of Course Chapter and Various Reports
• Maintain School Shift or Close The Semester Wise Session
• Maintain or Customized Account Setup For The Financial Purposes
• The School Creates a Report Header For Print The Various Reports
• Particular Access to Particular Person For Particular Module Section

2. Data Management:-

The school Data Management module is most important part of School.

Managing School’s records and avoiding the redundancy and duplication of
data manually ,is a tactic task. Software provides the efficient solution for the
maintenance of the record and remove the redundancy and duplicacy of data.

3. Benefits to Students

Software provides the various benefits to students.

• They can access the timetable,can gather information of their marks.

• Software enhances interaction between student and teachers.
 • They would have the prior information of coming holidays
• They would have the liberty to publish articles in the discussion forum

4.Fee Collection:-

Software improves the fee collection system by providing the platform

for the various tasks:-
• Fee Deposit
• Maintain the individual ledger.
• Represent the fund distribution graph
• Parents can pay the fee online

The old ways of recording the data are changing and software helps in
maintaining the school related information very easily. Parents can easily
interact with teachers and can view their child progress.
 ➢ BANKING INSURANCE

Banking software have enhanced customer service and productivity regarding

account management. The biggest impact is in the area of competition. Small
banking institutions can access the same technology as large banking
institutions and, therefore, can compete with them more effectively for
business.
• Software maintains the millions of transaction very efficiently and keep
the ledger systematically
• Software enhances bank and retailer to provide personalized customer
experience.
• Software provides the online facilities to the customers regarding fund
transfer,money deposit , money withdrawal.

1 Account Management
Banking software performs customers transaction through a centralized
server.
Software allows the users to update information or can maintain records.
Banking hardware and software have enhanced the accuracy of accounts that
tellers and other banking personnel process. Account management is the
genesis and backbone of all banking information systems.
2.Web Based Banking
Web based banking system allows the user to directly access their account by
providing the ID and Password which is further authenticated by banking
software.
Web-based banking system use a dedicated server where all the information
of the users are stored cryptographically which is highly secure and reliable.

3. Electronic Transaction
Banking software provides the services to the customer to directly transfer
fund .
ATMs ,internet and mobile banking are the example of the use case of
electronic transaction.

As the technology changes with passage of time, Security and reliability has
become a major problem in the sector of banking ,so more and more
advanced software's are being developed.
 ➢ HEALTHCARE:

Software has become the integral part of the health care system as it
enable all citizens to receive health care services whenever needed
and to deliver services that are cost-effective and meet certain pre-
established standards of quality.

Healthcare System’s Functional Components:

1. Financing - to purchase insurance, or to pay for health care
services consumed
2. Insurance - to protect against catastrophic risk
3. Delivery - to provide health care services
4. Payment - to reimburse providers for services delivered

Types of software used in medical fields:

1.Medical Simulation Technology provides an inexpensive and
risk-free way to test changes ranging from a "simple" revision of an
existing product line to emulation of a new control system or
redesign of an entire supply chain.

2.Medical Research Software encompasses a wide spectrum of

tools for various medical domains.Some of the tools are:

3.Medical Equipment Planning Software is helpful when a project

comprehends technology-intensive areas such as radiology or
surgery.Some tools:

4.Medical Database Software to manage the amount of patient data

and medical images without too many screens.Tools:
➢ Electronic Medical Record (EMR) software helps healthcare
5.Medical Appointment Scheduling makes it possible for patients
to book a visit to their doctors and physicians.
Tools:

6.Medical Diagnostic Software aimed at diagnosing complex

problems in general internal medicine .

Improvements in patient access, lower wait times and improved

revenues for the healthcare system may be seen soon due to rise in
healthcare IT technologies.
 ➢
➢ AIRLINES:

With the rapidly growing competition, it has become important for

commercial air carriers to streamline their process efficiently to
reduce the cost. The reduction in operational costs will assist reduce
the airfare and thus benefit the customer. With the airlines and
aviation industry growing in exponential terms, the software for
management is must.

For smooth functioning of complex and overlying network, the

software should be able to do:
➢ Running of flight tickets
 ➢ Boarding of passengers
➢ Scheduling of crews
➢ The operation of flights
➢ Maintaining and updating information on digital platforms

For managing a steady growth, it is important for the companies to

fulfill the demands of their customers and the stakeholders. For
proliferation , the industry demands for the accurate and timely
decisions to increase the efficiency. Solutions to these problems are
given by the Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP) management
software.

Some of the best things due to ERP in industry of airlines are:

1.Real Time Data
It is useful for the company for making the decisions and
optimizing the resources.It also helps in making full use of the
opportunities.

2.Expenses Accounting
For management , it helps in keeping a eye on the various cost and
the expenses in a systematic way.t

3.MultiCurrency Accounting
The customers doesn’t for any airlines are spread worldwide and the
multiple currencies are involved in this matter.It is very difficult for
the airlines to do such conversions ,so ERP solutions provide an
efficient and easy way for catering multicurrency transactions and
accounting them.
4.Data Security
Almost all the users have their data confidential and no one want to
disclose their private data to everyone.The features of the ERP are
helpful in keeping the data of their customers secure and allowing
the customers to customize their data.

Need of software
The airlines are now dealing with smart systems to provide correct
and accurate information. Also the real time tracking of the airline
with the help of IoT will be helpful for the passengers to know the
exact timing and location of the airlines. Also for more convenience
of the passengers and making their travel trouble free is also the
demand of the airline industry for a positive growth.

Digital trends demands the airlines to make the maximum use of

it.With this digital transformation in operational activities and
customer service , a new era for the airlines industry has come and is
expected to grow at a good rate.
