Chapter 3: Software
An ERP system is a software application with a centralized database that is implemented across the entire organization. Cloud computing is a method of software delivery that runs on any computer that has a web browser and access to the Internet.
Software is developed through a process called programming, in which a programmer uses a programming language to put together the logic needed to create the program.
While most software is developed using a closed-source model, the open-source movement is gaining more support today.
