Learn in the textbookOffice Tools and Software Packages
DefinitionA software package (ソフトウェアパッケージ) is software made in advance for uses that many users share, and sold or provided as a finished product.
ExplanationOffice tools (オフィスツール) such as word processors and spreadsheets are part of this group, and once bought and installed they can be put to work fairly quickly. Compared with custom development (個別開発), where software is built from scratch around your own business, a package keeps development cost and time down, though some parts may not match the way the business actually runs.
AnalogyIt is like buying a ready-built house instead of having one custom designed. You skip the effort and expense of planning every room, but any room that does not suit your lifestyle has to be worked around.
Memory hook"Package" means a wrapped product. Picture a boxed item sitting on a store shelf, ready to take home.
