In today's business environment it is important to realize and recognize the importance
and potential of Software.
It starts already with the simplest of things such as some kind of representation
of one's business in the internet. An internet website is the modern form of a business
card, giving the "modern" customer the possibility to investigate and get some impression
of the offered services from a "save distance" and the convenience of a home's /
officie's environment.
When starting to go for your own web-site you have 2 choices:
- A) Static Content Web
- B) Dynamic Web
Once a Web-site is established many business realize the appealing and useful features of
the Web2.0 technology and move their Static Web-site towards a Web2.0 enabled site which
enables a "rich dynamic" user experience.

Web-Sites as described in the previous section are "one-way" deliveries of content,
meaning that the user is presented with the content you as the business want them
to see. Yes, the content is presented in a dynamic "rich" Web2.0 environment, but
still the user has no influence on the "behaviour or functioning" of your site.
This is where Web applications come in. Web
applications are in fact
programs functioning on the Web enabling and providing functionality to the user
to use. One typical example are online-shops which offer the user to put items which
they would like to purchase in a "Shopping-cart".

Desktop tools are in general the typical Windows application everyone is used to,
however there are a wide range of tools/applications businesses are using to do
their daily jobs.
There are very detailed definition for application as you can see for example on
the
wikipedia net , but
for the sake of simplicity a categorization as show below is "useful" for smaller
businesses which want to take a look for their business to improve
efficiency by the
use of software applications.
Seen from a "complexity" perspective, the following spectrum reflects applications in
an intuitive way.
- Scripts & Batch-files
- console tools
- Desktop tools
- Windows applications
- Enterprise applications

Working with applications and having discovered the power of custom made application
which automate a pervious laborious task, many fall into the trap of having a custom
application in mind whenever a potential candidate for automation is recognized.
While custom applications have their rightful place in the tool set of a business, it
should also be kept in mind to first ask the question if a given problem on hand can
be solved with the tools on hand.
As simple as this sound, it is a matter of fact that most software developments are
started for tasks which can be solved with applications on hand. E.g. The real power
and potential of let's say Excel is only know to a few and hence the statement can be
made that 90% of the Office-applications found on a normal office computer, is simply
not used.
This is where AgooThai can help you to make the most of what you have, and it is fair to
say that an average computer is nowadays equipped with a lot. In fact, with so much that
most users are not finding their way to all the "useful" functions until they have "seen"
that they exist. We are happy to provide you with a office review to establish the potential
you already have which only needs to be used. Corresponding
follow-up trainings can fill this
gap and ensure an efficient use of your Office applications.
