Application
A specialized software solution designed to automate and execute the core operational processes and transactions associated with a particular business function or domain. Unlike low-level system software that manages core computing resources, or utility tools for general computing tasks, an application is a purposefully built program or suite of programs that directly supports and enables key organizational workflows, data processing requirements, and end-user activities central to that specific functional area. Applications provide the means to capture, manipulate, store, analyze and report on critical information and digitized business events tailored to the needs of their target process, users and use cases.
