There are approximately a gazillion problems that software can solve in a business setting. Absolutely stupid amounts of goods, services, and money are processed via clunky systems that are begging for software-based improvements. If you could follow around an arbitrary office worker, factory worker, healthcare professional, paralegal, real estate broker, or retail employee for a week, your head would be positively bursting with ideas for how software could make their businesses more efficient, and improve their employee quality of life.
