Business Software

CATS encourage motivation in business software in order to increase profits by cutting costs or speeding the productive cycle. In the earliest days of white-collar business automation, large mainframe computers were used to tackle the most tedious jobs, like bank cheque clearing and factory accounting.

CATS work with products such as SAP Business One to integrate all of these processes under the one product.

Factory accounting software became the most popular of early business software tools, and included the automation of General Ledgers, Fixed Assets Inventory ledgers, Cost Accounting ledgers, Accounts Receivable ledgers, and Accounts Payable ledgers (including Payroll, Life Insurance, VAT, N I Contributions and Retirement) ledgers.

To begin with, the early use of software to replace manual white-collar labor was extremely profitable, and caused a radical shift in white-collar labor. One computer might easily replace 100 white-collar 'pencil pushers', and the computer would not require any Health or Retirement Benefits.

These days, staff can be more gainfully employed in other areas of the business - to improve customer service for instance thereby leaving the business software to improve the functionality of sales and order processing.

In the early days, perhaps the most noticeable, wide-spread change in business software was the Word Processor. Because of its rapid rise, the ubiquitous IBM typewriter suddenly vanished in the 1980's as millions of companies worldwide shifted to the use of Word Perfect business software, and later, Microsoft Word software. Another vastly popular software program for business was Lotus 1-2-3, a mathematical spreadsheet, and later, Microsoft Excel.

In the 1990's business shifted massively towards globalism with the appearance of SAP software which coordinates a supply-chain of vendors, potentially worldwide, for the most efficient, streamlined operation of factory manufacture.
