Chapter 640: Arranged Immediately
When Isabella visited the Finance Department, she noticed their financial software was outdated. The user interface wasn’t sleek enough, the layout design seemed irrational, and the details didn’t match those of the leading financial software, X1.
However, the Mason Family Group had independently developed this software, and it was relatively secure.
“What’s wrong?” Benjamin noticed her pause and followed her gaze.
“The software needed an upgrade.”
With just one sentence from Isabella, the Minister of Finance couldn’t help but secretly rejoice. However, he maintained a respectful demeanour on the surface and said, “That was the latest version.””
Although they found it inconvenient, developing software required a significant workforce and financial resources, so they hadn’t reported it to the higher authorities.
“Did you find any issues?” Benjamin gently inquired, looking at the girl beside him. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“The interface wasn’t clean enough, the major functional modules didn’t cover a wide enough range, and the management structure was relatively rigid, unable to meet the company’s ever-changing needs. Additionally, it required at
large amount of memory for installation, resulting in slow
performance and frequent computer crashes when running the software.”
As soon as Isabella finished speaking, many employees from the Finance Department around her vigorously nodded in agreement. Well said!
Indeed, the financial software developed by the Mason Family Group was somewhat outdated. They had expressed their concerns long ago but hadn’t dared to voice them to the higher departments. Mrs Mason, on the other hand, immediately noticed the issues at hand.
They were just one step away from shouting, “Heaven and Earth! Finally, someone has discovered the flaws in their software…”
Benjamin hadn’t expected the girl to understand all of this. He looked at her encouragingly and said, “Go on.”
“When I observed them doing the accounting, it seemed there was no function to void vouchers, no function for
reconciliation, no function for cashier’s signature, and I didn’t see any error correction function in voucher review…”
The surrounding employees became excited and nodded repeatedly. Yes, all of those were missing, making the operation very inconvenient. Sometimes, they even felt like flipping tables and smashing computers!
One employee gazed at Isabella eagerly. Her computer screen displayed a summary table, and the mouse hovered over a specific summary area.
Isabella instantly understood and said, “In the voucher
summary table, there was no summary data for foreign
currencies, and there were no statistics based on account types, such as asset statistics, liability statistics, and so on…”
That employee was almost to bow down and express gratitude. He hadn’t expected Mrs Mason to be so intelligent. and quickly identify the problems.
These were the two issues she wanted to address!
Isabella looked at Benjamin with some confusion. These were features that financial software should possess.
“Why hasn’t anyone provided feedback?” Benjamin’s gaze shifted towards the people around him. He was usually busy with decision-making matters and rarely delved into these details.
The people around him became somewhat nervous, but the Minister of Finance smiled and mediated, “Everyone followed the principle of using what was available and not wanting the group to overspend…”
“It’s not a matter of wasting or not wasting. If the software affected work efficiency, it should have been replaced.”
“In fact, it could be improved now.” Isabella pointed her slender finger at the mouse and swiftly entered a series of codes on the keyboard.
Initially, altering the backend data required entering al password and obtaining approval from Benjamin, the person in charge of the software. However, this posed no challenge for Isabella, who was actually Brooke. Her slender fingers danced across the keyboard, and a series of codes instantly caught everyone’s attention.
“This way, the generated reports would be more concise and visually appealing,” Isabella said, and she made a few more modifications to the program. Then she added, “This will make the accounts and vouchers more organised and clear.”
Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to believe that Isabella’s modifications had resolved the problem that had plagued them for over a year in just a few minutes.
“I’ve added a new feature. From now on, you can click here to easily access cross-year reports. And in this area, you could customise shortcuts,” Isabella explained.
Excitement filled the air as many employees expressed their delight.
“That was fantastic! Sometimes when we were busy, we wanted to set up shortcuts, but the software didn’t have that functionality, so we couldn’t do it.”
“This software originally couldn’t retrieve cross-year reports. We had to manually scroll through month by month. But now, Mrs Mason has added this feature, making it simple to retrieve annual reports.”
“Yes, no more sore fingers from continuous mouse clicking.”
After inputting a series of codes, Isabella continued, “In this section, I added a new feature: fuzzy search. For example, if you wanted to search for a specific report but forgot the exact date, you could search for a keyword that appeared in the report, like this, and it would instantly appear.”
Isabella demonstrated the operation, eliciting amazed gasps
from the surrounding people.
“I love this feature. Previously, the minister asked me to retrieve reports from a group subsidiary company for a specific month, and it took me a long time to find them. With this fuzzy search, they appeared instantly.”
“Mrs Mason, you’re amazing! Are you involved in software development?”
“Can you help us upgrade other functions?”
Isabella’s fair and slender fingers swiftly moved across the keyboard. Then she said, “I improved some functions, added report types, enhanced operational convenience, reduced the complexity of setting parameters, and introduced more flexibility.”
The surrounding employees were ecstatic.
“However, this software’s intelligence level and technological aspects were still somewhat outdated. It would also require a significant amount of time for maintenance. The version is too low, making it susceptible to vulnerabilities… I recommend either upgrading it or developing a new one.”
As soon as Isabella finished speaking, Benjamin agreed, saying, “We’ll arrange it immediately.” The surrounding people were surprised that Mrs Mason’s one sentence surpassed their thousands of words, and they erupted in cheers.
“Today, we were honoured to have Mrs Mason visiting our department.”
us improve. We are truly grateful to you.”
“Mrs Mason, will you be involved in future software development? With your understanding of financial software, if you’re on board, the operation of the newly developed software will undoubtedly be effortless!”
“Mrs Mason, when will you visit next time? We have some questions about finance that we would like to consult you on.”
Isabella lightly lifted her lips and gently replied, “It depends.”
“If you encounter any problems with software used in the future, feel free to bring them up for improvement.”
After Benjamin finished speaking, he put his arm around Isabella’s slender waist and said, “We’re leaving now.””
At this rate, they wouldn’t finish the tour in the afternoon.
Isabella nodded, bid them farewell, and the crowd reluctantly escorted them to the elevator. They continued to discuss eagerly as the elevator doors closed.
“Guess what Mrs Mason did for a living? She seemed quite knowledgeable about finance. Could she be a financial expert? Or maybe the owner of a company? Is it possible that she came from a wealthy family?”
“I think she looked like a college student who hadn’t graduated yet. Didn’t you see? Her skin was so smooth. It was like water.”
“She did look young and beautiful.”
“We can finally bid farewell to the old software that frustrated us. With Mrs Mason helping us improve today, the operation will be much more convenient.”
“We look forward to a better user experience with the new software.”
“That’s not the main point. The main point is that Boss Mason, who has always been authoritative, seems like a different person in front of Mrs Mason. Did you notice? Whatever Mrs Mason said or did, Boss Mason looked at her… with eyes full of love.”
