Accounting Software includes a class of computer programs that perform accounting operations. The simplest accounting programs, sometimes called personal finance managers, are single-entry systems that automate check writing and record keeping. Double-entry systems include functions for general ledger, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. More sophisticated systems also support functions for payroll, inventory, invoicing, and fixed assets. Some high-end systems even support sales analysis and time billing.

Electronic billing is the electronic delivery and presentation of financial statements, bills, invoices, and related information sent by a company to its customers. Electronic billing is also referred to as the following: e-billing EBPP — electronic bill presentment and payment EIPP — electronic invoice presentment and payment Certain electronic billing applications also provide the ability to electronically settle payment for goods or services. Customers of banks and billing companies can use the internet or the phone to conveniently remit payments as well as access their billing information. The service is also supported by customer service representatives (CSRs) contacted directly by the consumer to facilitate payments or receive general assistance and answer questions. EBPP provides billing companies the ability to demonstrate to their customers that they are technologically-advanced companies with a primary concern for customer convenience and satisfaction. In addition, EPBB can produce substantial savings to traditional print & mail billing and payment remittance. An added benefit is a significant reduction in the use of paper.

Enterprise Resource Planning Software (ERP) or Manufacturing Requirements Planning Software (MRP) is a complete enterprise wide business solution that attempts to integrate all departments and functions within a company into a single computer system.

On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) is a category of software technology that enables analysts, managers and executives to gain insight into data through fast, consistent, interactive access to a wide variety of possible views of information that has been transformed from raw data to reflect the real dimensionality of the enterprise as understood by the user. OLAP functionality is characterized by dynamic multi-dimensional analysis of consolidated enterprise data supporting end user analytical and navigational activities including: calculations and modeling applied across dimensions, through hierarchies and/or across members trend analysis over sequential time periods slicing subsets for on-screen viewing drill-down to deeper levels of consolidation reach-through to underlying detail data rotation to new dimensional comparisons in the viewing area OLAP is implemented in a multi-user client/server mode and offers consistently rapid response to queries, regardless of database size and complexity. OLAP helps the user synthesize enterprise information through comparative, personalized viewing, as well as through analysis of historical and projected data in various "what-if" data model scenarios. This is achieved through use of an OLAP Server.
