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 ...

A man has a garden measuring 84 meters by 56 meters. He divides it into the minimum number of square plots. What is the length of the square plots?

We wish to divide this man's garden into the minimum number of square plots possible. A square has all four sides with the same length.Our garden is a rectangle, so the answer is clearly not 1 square plot. If we choose the wrong length for our squares, we may end up with missing holes or we may not be able to fit our squares inside the garden. So we have 84 meters in one direction and 56 meters in the other direction. When we start dividing the garden in square plots, we are "filling" those lengths in their respective directions. At each direction, there must be an integer number of squares (otherwise, we get holes or we leave the garden), so that all the square plots fill up the garden nicely. Thus, our job here is to find the greatest common divisor of 84 and 56. For this, we prime factor both of them: `56 = 2*2*2*7` `84 = 2*2*3*7` We can see that the prime factors and multiplicities in common are `2*2*7 = 28` . This is the desired length of the square plots. If you wi...

What warning does Chuchundra issue to Rikki?

Chuchundra, the sniveling, fearful muskrat who creeps around walls because he is too terrified to go into the center of a room, meets Rikki in the middle of the night. He insults Rikki by begging him not to kill him. He then insults him by suggesting that Nag might mistake Chuchundra for Rikki. He says, "Those who kill snakes get killed by snakes."  He issues this warning to Rikki not to help keep Rikki safe but as a way of explaining why Rikki's presence gives him, Chuchundra, more reason to fear.  Chuchundra starts to tell Rikki what Chua the rat told him--but breaks it off when he realizes he might be overheard by Nag. He says, "Nag is everywhere, Rikki-Tikki." Rikki threatens to bite Chuchundra to get him to talk. Even then, Chuchundra won't overtly reveal any information. But he does say, "Can't you hear, Rikki-Tikki?" This is enough of a clue for the clever mongoose. He listens carefully and can just make out the "faintest scratch-s...
