office software

Workplace computer applications

Office software refers to applications used for common workplace tasks—word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and email.

Microsoft Office long dominated this category, making its components (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) near-synonymous with the tasks themselves.

Google's web-based alternatives and other suites now compete.

The job listing required proficiency in office software.
