What are apps used for? For example, Word, Excel and others. I am looking for the apps most commonly used in a call center environment.

Apps or applications are software programs that have been developed to carry out specific operations. Here are some examples of commonly used apps on a day to day basis by many people:


  • Word: A common word processing application and is part of the Microsoft Office suite of applications. It is commonly used to prepare word or text documents, such as letters, documents, reports, etc.

  • Excel: A common spreadsheet utility used for processing and analyzing data. A large number of operations can be carried out by Excel (and other spreadsheet programs) such as calculations, graphs, and tables, among others. This is also part of Microsoft Office.

  • Adobe Acrobat: A document processing suit used for pdf (portable document format) documents. Such format is commonly used for reports, theses, etc.; basically in any situation where we do not want the formatting of the original document to change.

Some other commonly used apps include music apps (playing, editing, etc.) and gaming apps.


In a call center environment, the employees will use apps for call management (so that incoming calls can be better managed), servicing applications (to answer customers, file reports/issues, etc.), outbound call management (to facilitate easy calling to customers), call recording apps (for quality management and record purposes), automated voice service (for handling the calls and providing basic information while the customer waits), and employee management apps (for managing employee records), etc. 


Hope this helps.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
