The term end user computing (EUC ) denotes across the autonomous and liberal use of PC -based computer programs by employees of a government - as a deliberate alternative to server-based application programs with pre- screens that allow the employees very little free space.

End - user computing includes both typical office applications such as word processing and spreadsheets, as well as application software that were created by advanced users for their own needs themselves.

Target

End - user computing is thus a conscious counter-strategy to an all-embracing centralization of IT tasks. You can contribute significantly to cost savings and increased efficiency of administration, but carries the risk of lack of ability to access important company data with them. Newer programs for end- user computing, therefore, at least provide for data storage in a central database.

Tools

The tools for the end- user computing includes report generators as well as some particularly pronounced this integrated development environments such as Microsoft Access.
