• Tablets
• E-readers
• Storage devices such as USB drives
• Input devices such as keyboard, mouse, scanners, or stylus
• Output devices such as printers and speakers
• The physical parts of a computing device

PC Components
Components of a PC:
• Circuit board – also known as the motherboard that holds the CPU,
memory, and storage components
• CPU (central processing unit) – carries out the commands sent to it

by the software and returns results

• Faster is better
• Memory – temporary working area called random-access memory
(RAM)
• Applications are loaded into RAM to run faster
• When computer is powered off, the RAM is cleared
• Bigger is better

PC Components continued
• Storage – longer, permanent storage of data

• Hard disk – permanently affixed to motherboard using cables
• Solid state disk (SSD) – much faster
• Removable media – USB drives that can be connected and removed for

use on a different computer

• Bigger and faster is best
• Input/output devices – allows the addition of devices for input
and output purposes via ports on the motherboard or today by
USB
• Keyboard for entering data
• Printer for printing output

What is Software?
Software is the set of instructions that tells the hardware what to

do
Two main types of software:
1. Operating Systems

2. Application Software
1. Productivity software
2. Utility software
3. Programming software
4. Applications for the Enterprise
7
Operating Systems
• All devices have an operating system
• Software which manages the hardware
• Creates the interface between the hardware
and the user 感谢您下载包图网平台上提供的 PPT 作品，为了您和包图网以及原创作者的利益，请勿复制、传播、销售，否则将承担法律责任！包图网将对作品进行维权，按照传播下载次数进行十倍的索取赔偿！

• Functions performed by the operating systems:

• Managing the hardware resources of the
computer
• Providing the user-interface components
• Providing a platform for software developers
to write applications
• Most popular are Microsoft Windows,
Apple Mac OS, and Linux
8
Application Software
• Software that allows users to accomplish some goal or purpose

• Categories:
• Productivity software to help employees complete their job duties
such as Microsoft Office
ibaotu.com
• Utility software allows you to fix or modify your computer

• For example, antivirus software
• Programming software makes more software
• Programmers can code, test, and convert into a format that the computer will
understand
9
Enterprise Application Software
• Early applications were often independent from other

applications
• Consequently, information from one application did not always
correlate to information from another application
ibaotu.com
• Enterprise Resource Applications (ERP) were developed to

provide a common application that supports functions across
the entire enterprise for the company’s employees
• For example, an ERP can contain the general ledger and its subsidiary
ledgers such as accounts payable, accounts receivables, etc.
• Builds in best business practices for an enterprise
10
Enterprise Application Software
• SAP is the most popular
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
• Manages an organization’s customers
• Personalize your relationship with the customer

• An example is Salesforce
• Supply Chain Management (SCM) manages an organization’s
Manufacturing
Suppliers Distributors
Facilities
11
Open vs. Closed Source Software
• Open-Source Software:
• Software is available for free
• Source code can be reviewed prior to installing
• Large programmer groups can fix bugs and add feature
ibaotu.com
• May increase risk of attack as everyone knows how your software

works
• Closed-Source Software:
• Company that developed the software provides technical support
• Employs large number of programmers to enhance the product
12
Summary
• Defined the term hardware & software

• Showed the primary components of a computer and the
functions they perform
• Described the two primary categories of software
ibaotu.com
• Described the role ERP software plays in an organization

• Defined the term open source and identify its primary
characteristics
