collaboration among team members and with customers,
partners, and suppliers.
6. Decision-making: Software can provide data insights and
analytics to support informed decision-making.
6. MEANING OF SOFTWARE.
• Software is a set of instructions, data or programs used to
operate computers and execute specific tasks.
• It is the opposite of hardware, which describes the physical
aspects of a computer.
• Software is a generic term used to refer to applications,
scripts and programs that run on a device.
• It can be thought of as the variable part of a computer, while
hardware is the invariable part.
7. TYPES OF SOFTWARE
• SYSTEM SOFTWARE
• APPLICATION SOFTWARE
• PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE
• OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE
8. SYSTEM SOFTWARE
• System software allows the user to run computer software
or hardware and is responsible for managing their
interaction with each other.
• It perpetually runs in the background to maintain the basic
functionalities and the hardware of the computer.
• It essentially acts as a mediator between the computer and
the user to facilitate operations. System software is of four
types, which are as follows-
9. • Operating System – The operating system is a collection of software that helps
execute programs and offers a computer application’s general services. There
are various types of operating systems, such as iOS, macOS, Windows,
Unix, Linux, and Ubuntu, among others.
• Device Drivers – Device drivers handle the operations of the hardware devices
connected to a computer. They act as a software interface for the hardware
devices so that applications and the operating system of a computer can run
the hardware functions without having the knowledge of the hardware’s exact
specifications.
• Firmware – Firmware is embedded in the read-only memory of a system and is
a type of permanent software that offers low-level control for certain device
hardware.
• Utility – Utility software functions to configure, maintain, and offer support in
the analysis and optimization of the computer.
10. APPLICATION SOFTWARE
• Application software or application programs are end-user
programs that serve specific functionality to help users
accomplish certain tasks.
• This includes graphic designing, researching online, drafting
documents, watching movies or playing games, and managing
finance among others.
• Developers keep creating software applications based on the
evolving needs of users.
• There are various types of application software, which are as
follows-
11. • Word Processors – Word processor software, as the name suggests, is designed for
making notes, typing data, and documentation. Users can also format, store, and print
their data and documents respectively using word processes.
• Database Software – Also known as Database Management System (DBMS), database
software allows users to perform various operations on quickly retrieved data, such as
creation, management, organization, and modification. Some popular examples of
DBMS are MS Access, dBase, MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and FileMaker.
• Multimedia Software – Users can perform certain actions on their computer, such as
playing and recording music and video files as well as creating images with the help of
multimedia software. This type of software has a massive application in the field of
graphic designing where users create gifs, images, animations, and edit videos. Adobe
Photoshop and Illustrator, Windows Movie Maker and Media Player, Corel Draw, and
Picasa are some common types of multimedia processors.
12. • Web Browsers – Web Browsers are used for browsing the internet and their
primary function is to allow users to fetch data across the web and also position
the data. In simpler terms, you would access the internet with the help of web
browsers so that you find the information that you need. Chrome, Opera, Mozilla
Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, and UC Browser are very commonly used
web browsers.
• Freeware – Freeware software is made available free of cost for a lifetime and
it can be downloaded from the internet. This type of software is generally
created by companies to improve their reach and gain more popularity. Some
such software that is available free of cost for different purposes are Skype,
Audacity, Zoom, Adobe Reader, WhatsApp, etc.
13. PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE
• Proprietary software is owned by an organization or an individual,
as opposed to “public-domain software,” which is freely
distributed.
• The explosion in the use of the Internet has expanded the reach of
public-domain software since it is now much easier to transmit
these programs. While many commercial software developers
have developed software that has become the de facto standard
(e.g., Microsoft’s Windows programs), proprietary software that is
based on proprietary protocols, or standards, can create
obstacles for application development and usage.
14. OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE
• Open-source software is the opposite of commercial ones as it
can be downloaded from the internet along with its source code.
• Since users can download the source code of the software as
well, they can work on the codes and make changes to the
software.
• While some open-source software might be free of cost, some
may also be sold at retail prices.
15. CONCLUSION
It is crucial to have a good understanding of software, its
types, how it works, and other aspects pertaining to it for
developers and other experts who maintain software.
While hardware is extremely important, the software of a
system is designed to execute commands and provide
users with output. Without software, it is virtually
impossible to use your system.
