Productivity
Also called application software (“app” for short), productivity software is computer software designed to perform a specific function. For instance your application might help with your business accounting requirements, database, word processing or graphics needs. SaaS providers supply cloud-based productivity software to enterprises. Sometimes the software is tailored to a company’s specific needs and hosted in a private cloud, in other instances the enterprise might access commercial, off-the-shelf software on a user-pays basis.
