The Basic suite turns out to be very much advantageous if they are used by the

specific software.
The main advantage of using the basic suite is that it saves time, this is due to the fact
that writing without any assistance from the basic suites takes a lot of time. Besides another
advantage of using the basic suite is that it provides a lot of more functions and capabilities
which are not available while writing by hand. Along with this the products created with the
help of this software are much more dynamic and interesting.
The word processing software is not inherently educational but still it acts as a helpful
tool for the students and teachers. This software provides the student with a more opportunity
of writing as writing by this software is much faster than writing by hand (Buabeng-Andoh,
2012). This initially helps the student in focusing more on their works. Some of the basic
word processing software includes the Microsoft Word, Apple Pages or Google Docs.
After the word processing software comes the spreadsheet software. In the early days
this software was very much useful for the PC as it made the usage of machines very easy. In
today’s world the usage of spreadsheet turns out to be very much beneficial for various
reasons. Spreadsheet acts as a helpful tool for keeping the information in a list format like the
name, contact detail, address and many more (Haspekian, 2014). Another advantage of this
