The correct answer is:

I am skilled in several data-processing programs, such as Talon, Xpert, and Nicro360.

The main purpose of a cover letter is to provide a hiring administrator enough information to consider the candidate as qualified and appropriate for the job. One of the most common pitfalls of cover letters is presenting too much or irrelevant information. A concise summary of kills and background are key as they concern to the position.
