Software as a Component of Information Systems

Software includes the programs and applications that run on the hardware and perform tasks.

These can be:

·         System software: Operating systems like Windows, Linux, macOS

·         Application software: Programs for productivity (Microsoft Office), design (Adobe), or business processes (CRM, ERP)

Software dictates what the hardware can do.

Information systems are more than just technology—they are strategic tools made up of interconnected components that drive modern businesses forward. At ANDILE MTETWA INNOVATIONS PBC, we help organisations optimise each of these elements to thrive in the digital economy.
