A collection of software programs all sold together in one package. Three popular software suites are Lotus SmartSuite, Microsoft Office, and Novell PerfectOffice. Advantages • It costs less to buy programs as part of a suite than to buy them individually. • Programs look and act the same. Once you learn one program, you can easily learn the others. • Programs can exchange data and interact in ways they cannot do alone. Disadvantage • All the programs come from the same manufacturer. You may not get the best combination of features for your needs.
