An Accounting Information System is an integral part of the new design of Kudler’s computer system.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW The impact of modern information technologies in companies is broad and manifested in the most varied ways. Integrated systems, such as ERP systems, Internet, Intranet, and so on, walk hand in hand with the most recent developments in company know-how. Some of these technologies, with their widespread use, especially the Internet, have altered the way companies work and their accounting organization (Granlund, 2007). “Prior to the emergence of this environment, the presence of IT in the organization has typically taken the form of specific computer application systems, such as accounts payable and financial reporting systems, which either automate specific operational procedures or support certain managerial processes” (Teng & Calhoun, 1996:674).

Systems Applications, Products (SAP) was introduced in 1980’s as SAP R/2 to give soft real time access to its users. Which was used in multiple currencies and languages, SAP also launch server based version of their software called SAP R/3. In 1992 SAP developed a graphical user interface or GUI, which was more user friendly to move away from the mainframe style user interface.

Before Graphical User Interfaces became a standard for giving commands and retrieving information, computers were controlled through the means of a text-based interface. This meant that a person had to enter text commands in order to communicate with the computer, which meant that one had to know various commands that could be entered and specific, technologic jargon that – for a ‘normal person’, not prominent in the art of computing – was simply hard, or even impossible to comprehend and memorize. On top of that, the data was displayed on the screen was usually presented in form of a column of text, employing the aforementioned jargon and syntax of ‘computer language’. As a consequence, computers were rather reserved for enthusiasts and professionals than general public, which at that time didn’t find them useful or attractive.

This paper is about the improvement of the C programming dialect, the impacts on it, and the conditions under which it was made.
