WHY DATA PROCESSING ?

DATA is collected facts that generally are not useful without further processing.

INFORMATION is based on processed data that is directly useful.

SO ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING IS .

EDP is the processing of data by electronic devices, computer and its programs in an environment involving electronic communication.

HISTORY OF EDP
REVOLUTION IN HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE. STORAGE ORGANIZATION. TRANSACTION PROCESSING TECHNIQUES.

COMPONENTS OF EDP SYSTEM


INPUT OUTPUT HARDWARE SOFTWARE PROCESSING PEOPLE

ACTIVITIES OF EDP

CAPTURING THE INPUT DATA. MANIPULATING THE DATA. PRODUCING THE OUTPUT RESULT.

CHARACTERISTICS OF ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING


Able to handle a large amount of data. Able to produce accurate results. Able to provide high speed processing. Able to handle tedious work e.g. routine work on calculations, searching

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
MANUAL SYSTEM AND EDP SYSTEM

ADVANTAGES OF EDP

High speed Accurate High storage capacity Automatic Reliable 24 hour service Remote access and control

DISADVANTAGES OF EDP

Equipment is expensive
Much money required to design special computer system. Important data will be lost if computer breaks down.

APPLICATIONS OF EDP
Payroll system Point-of-sale system Ticketing system Electronic funds transfer system Acounting system
