What is the most popular or the most used administration software??

Question

what do you think about administration software in software in companies,business,etc thank you

Answer 1

I am only familiar with two administration software used at the plants I worked for : Datasul E.M.S. and AS400. These I believe are sofware for adminsitration of a goods manufacturing facility. I don't know if they are the type of sofware you are looking for.

What I think about these softwares ? : I believe the current executives who choose these sofwares does not have the proper computer background, because they are not yet from a "computer generation". They very often make two basic mistakes regarding these sofwares :

1- They believe the software is going to solve problems that were unsolved when not computerized. That actually never happens : if your organization doesn't know how to work then the computer is not going to do the job in your place.

2- usually because of mistake #1, they want their organisation to adapt itself to the sofware requirements, instead of the opposite. That usually turns the organisation less efficient, because of the use of tools that are generic instead of designed specifically for your needs. They tend to confuse efectivness with eficiency.

As a conclusion, I'd say these sofwares help to get things done, and get better productivity, but if the team implementing it is not cautious about what are the exact organisation's needs then it will be at the cost of the quality and eficiency of the services.
