What is package software? Explaining the difference between it and the cloud
Package software refers to installed software that is introduced to streamline specific business processes within a company. The merits of introducing package software include speed and ease of implementation. In addition, since you can easily introduce the system you want exactly, it has the characteristic of easily leading to business efficiency improvements.
The demerit is that because you can easily install the system you want, the number of package software you install increases, which can make management difficult. Also, even if you want to improve business efficiency with the cloud, if you have a lot of package software, the number of uses will increase, making management difficult.
The difference with cloud computing is that the service cannot be used over the internet and the method of managing data is different. With cloud computing, you can use the service from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection, and the data can be stored over the internet, so you can continue to use the data even if the computer you are using breaks down. With packaged software, you can store the data by yourself, so you can manage your data with peace of mind.
In such cases, we recommend a cloud-based VDI (remote desktop) service. Cloud-based VDI uses a desktop environment on the cloud. By installing multiple software packages in this cloud-based VDI environment, you can collectively store the software packages on the cloud. Furthermore, since multiple people can use the cloud-based VDI environment, it can also be used as an information sharing tool.
