Chapter 1206

When Arabella visited the finance department, she noticed that the financial software they were using

seemed a bit outdated. The interface wasn't slick enough, the layout was somewhat irrational, and it

was lacking in detail compared to the best financial software X1 on the market.

However, this software was developed in-house by the McMllian Corporation, and was thus considered

relatively secure.

"What's up?" Romeo noticed her pause and followed her gaze.

"The software needs an upgrade"

At Arabella's comment, the head of the finance department couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, but on

the surface, he merely replied politely, "This is the latest version."

Though they found it inconvenient to use, the development of a new software would require

considerable resources, so they hadn't raised the issue with upper management.

"What issues did you find?" Romeo asked the girl beside him.

“The interface isn't clean enough, the major functional modules aren't comprehensive, and the

management structure is rather rigid. It fails to meet the variable demands of the corporation, and its

installation size is huge. This results in slow operation speeds and it's prone to freeze."

As soon as Arabella finished her sentence, many of the finance department staff around them began to

nod in agreement. Spot on!

The software developed by McMllian Corporation was indeed outdated. They had grievances for a long

time, but didn't dare to voice them to the higher-ups.

Mrs. McMillian just pinpointed the problem upon arrival.

They were just short of shouting, "Thank heavens, finally, someone has noticed the shortcomings of

this software."

Romeo didn't expect the girl to understand even these matters, and encouraged her with an approving

look. "Go on: "Just now, I noticed they don't have a feature for voiding vouchers. There's no clearance

feature, no cashier's signature feature, and I didn't see a marking error feature in voucher review

either."

The staff around her began to nod vigorously in agreement. Yes, yes, yes, these were missing, and it

was so inconvenient to operate that sometimes they felt like flipping the table and smashing the

computer!

A staff member was gazing at Arabella hopefully, her computer screen showing a consolidated

statement, with the cursor hovering over a certain part of it.

Arabella instantly understood, “In the voucher consolidation, there's no data on foreign currency. There

are no statistics based on account types. Like asset statistics, liability statistics, and so on"

The employee was so grateful she could have knelt down to thank her. She hadn't expected Arabella to

be so sharp and spot the problem immediately.

These were the exact issues she wanted to bring up!

Arabella looked at Romeo, slightly puzzled. These were features that financial software should include.

“Why hasn't anyone raised these issues?" Romeo's gaze swept over the surrounding people. Usually,

he was busy with decision-making matters and had little insight into these details.

The staff were a bit nervous, but the finance department head defused the situation with a laugh,

“Everyone adheres to an ‘if it's usable, use it' principle, so as not to be wasteful"

“This isn't about being wasteful or not, if the software is affecting work efficiency, it should be changed."

"In fact, it can be changed now.’ Arabella’s slender fingers clicked the mouse, and then swiftly typed a

series of codes on the keyboard.

Normally, altering backend data would require a password.

It would need the consent of Romeo, the person in charge of the software, to proceed.

But Arabella was Alex, and this was not a challenge for her.

Her delicate fingers danced over the keyboard, and a series of codes quickly came into view.

"The generated reports will be more concise and pleasing to the eye this way."

After saying that, Arabella modified a few more programs, and then said, "And this way, the accounts

and vouchers will be clearer and more organized."

Everyone was flabbergasted, they couldn't believe that a problem that had been troubling them for over

a year had been solved in just a few minutes by Arabella.
