At the mortgage company I worked at after college, the entire company was using "command line style" "ms-dos" looking software that ran the entire company. This software completely dominates the entire mortgage market! Makes some boring ass mortgage software with a GUI and some bug fixes and you might make yourself a millionaire. And the software was not "rock solid". It had all kinds of bugs that screwed up customers accounts and cost them $$$. The only reason companies use shit like that is because it beats running the company manually without a computer. So anyway, go out there and write yourself some boring business process software!
- Washuu 10y agoYep! There is a cabinet company that has been trying to revolutionize the customer quoting process. The old software is slow and clunky that requires entering data from quote sheets. They want the process to be simple as tapping away on a tablet and getting a quote from a server/central office within minutes all while in the customer's home.
- Lordarminius 10y agowhat software would that be :) :)

- jotux 10y ago>The only reason companies use shit like that is because it beats running the company manually without a computer Probably not. The reason they were probably using it is because it was originally written in the 80s/90s, it works, and it's too expensive to tear down their current architecture and teach everyone a new system.
