After the original Dongfang Software Company was split into Dongfang System Software Company and Dongfang Application Software, the division of labor became clearer. ●⌒, the core of Dongfang System Software's development is operating system software, including east-operating system in the field of personal computer and east-operating system in the field of enterprise server.

In addition to the operating system, East System Software Company released an east-c software not long ago, which is a programming software based on c language. The future development direction of Dongfang System Software Company is system software and software development tools.

The development direction of Oriental Application Software Company is naturally application software, but the scope of application software is still too large, and all programs running on the computer can be called application software.

The core product of Oriental Application Software Company was the business office software consisting of the troika of text software east-, table software east-table, and database software east-dbase. In another time and space, in addition to Microsoft, the most well-known products are series, including the most commonly used products, ppt, etc.

In fact, in addition to business office software, there is also a very important software status - enterprise management software. Half of the world's top ten independent software vendors provide system software solutions for enterprises.

The software sold by Wang Jialian's ca company is also management software for large enterprise customers. In another time and space, Wang Jialian once brought CA company to the throne of the world's second largest software company after Microsoft. His ability is evident from this, and it is precisely because of this that Li Xuan wants to dig him into Dongfang Application Software Company.

The current ca company. As well as the later famous company (Oracle), the software they develop and sell is aimed at the small and medium-sized computer market. And ibm eats the leftovers in the mainframe market.

For example, the software of Oracle Corporation and the east-dbase software of Dongfang Application Software Corporation are all database software. But the target customers are very different. The software is mainly developed based on the company's pdp-11 and vax minicomputers, while east-dbase is mainly used in series personal computers.

Therefore, the main customers of Eastern Application Software are individual consumers, as well as small business customers who cannot afford minicomputers. The main customer groups of companies like CA and Oracle are large and medium-sized enterprises.

However, with the rapid improvement of the performance of microcomputers, the information processing capabilities of servers have begun to approach or even surpass minicomputers. More and more companies have begun to purchase servers and personal computers to replace expensive minicomputers and sky-high mainframe systems.

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the Oriental application software company based on the personal computer field. So Dongfang Application Software Company is no longer satisfied with the previous series, and is preparing to enter the enterprise management software market with the same broad market.

There is a wide range of business management software. Including erp software (resource management), crm software (customer relationship management), hr software (human resource management), oa software (office automation management), financial management software, contract management software and so on. Large-scale software companies in later generations will provide personalized overall solutions according to the actual situation of specific enterprises.

In the early 1980s, when enterprise management software was still in its infancy, all companies were still in the exploratory stage. For example, the concept of erp (resource management plan) will not be proposed by American companies until 1990, and it is still in the more primitive stage of the concept of mrp (material requirements plan).

The so-called mrp means that the enterprise manages the product composition through the information management system. With the help of the computing power of the computer and the management ability of the system for customer orders, materials in stock and product composition, the inventory can be reduced as much as possible. Optimizing inventory management goals.

In contrast, the meaning of customer relationship management software and human resource management software is easier to understand. The two are special software used to help enterprises manage external customer information and internal personnel information.

In the mainframe era, the mode of information processing is "mainframe system + service terminal", and data can be processed only in the mainframe system constructed with mainframe or minicomputer. The rest of the service terminals only have simple functions such as browsing, input and output. This is in practical use. Data processing is very inconvenient.

The Oriental Application Software Company is implementing a new information processing structure, namely the "server + client" network model. Through the intranet, each computer can log in through the background. Access the server for data processing and updating.

Back in 1980, when Ikon first launched the -1 computer. It has already used the concept of campus networking to seize the school computer teaching computer market. And Aikang has been continuously researching network solutions since then. Under the guidance of Li Xuan Golden Finger. The first commercial router of this era naturally has nothing to do with Cisco.

Aikang's main products are a series of personal computers based on erm architecture, followed by architecture-based servers and workstation computers, and network devices such as network cards, switches, and routers.

Now the Internet era has not really arrived, and the sales of network equipment are very limited, but there will be a small number of applications in the intranet solutions provided by Aikang for enterprises. With the improvement of the electronic office of enterprises, the demand for networking is increasing, and the application of network equipment will become more and more extensive.

And the series of enterprise management software that Oriental Application Software Company is going to launch will further the advantages of electronic network office in management efficiency. Li Gang rushed back to Hong Kong from Silicon Valley this time. In addition to personally reporting to Li Xuan the results of his interview with Wang Jialian, he also led a team to inspect the application software company's newly developed mrp software (material planning management) and crm software (customer Relationship management) and HR software (human resource management) in the actual application of the effect of the enterprise.

The mrp software has chosen a number of electronic factories of the Oriental Group responsible for OEM computers and game consoles for practical use~www.readwn.com~, while software like hr is directly used within the Oriental Group.

Oriental Group has now developed into a complex system including holding companies, subsidiaries, subsidiary companies, joint ventures, etc., with branches and offices in dozens of countries on five continents, and a super-complex enterprise with tens of thousands of employees. If the hr software of Dongfang Application Company can clarify such complex internal personnel relations, I believe it will be very easy to handle the human resource problems of most companies in the world.

According to the original plan, these enterprise management software will also be put on the shelves as soon as the -5 goes on the market, becoming the soft power guarantee for Aikang to sell its own computers and servers to corporate customers, especially medium-sized enterprises with good money.

After all, the price of a vax minicomputer is as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it takes at least millions of dollars to build an enterprise's information management system. By contrast, replacing minicomputer systems with Ikon's personal computers and servers would save a lot of money on hardware.

Of course, the premise is that Aikang's computer can play no less than the ability of the vax minicomputer system, and all this needs to rely on software to speak! (To be continued..)
