This week's material seems pretty straight forward. I really enjoy moments like this in the Online business program. After taking Managerial Economics with Dr. Dewey and Finance with Dr. Tapley in back to back semesters, I'm pretty fried. Also the direct, no-nonsense quiz questions are greatly appreciated.
The licensing of software was the most interesting to me. I recently bought a new desktop and bought MS Office 10 even though I had a Office 2007 disk from my laptop. I wasn't sure if the EULA for an employee home use program would allow it to be installed on two machines. Even though I'm small potatoes, better to be safe than sorry. The importance of software licensing was also emphasized in the Entrepreneurship class I completed in the spring. Proper licensing of common application software is often overlooked when starting a small business.
I was able to relate some of the material from the lectures to my work experience. In addition to the horizontal software that most companies use such as MS office, funeral homes also use a program to manage client data, generate contracts, and print necessary forms such as death certificates. The program we use at North Brevard Funeral Home, CFSS is developed by our corporation. It is not only industry specific, but company specific, linking our finances, inventory, and even our websites to make our jobs easier.
In other news, today has been a great Saturday. The wife, kids and I went fishing this morning and I hope I fixed an oil leak in the MG.
