Introduction to Electronic Data
Processing (EDP):
Electronic data processing, or EDP, is a broad
term that encompasses the use of electronic devices
and computer systems to collect, store, process,
manage, and distribute data. EDP plays a crucial role
in modern organizations, enabling them to handle vast
amounts of information efficiently and accurately. It
has revolutionized data management, analysis, and
decision-making processes across various industries.
Key Components of EDP:
Hardware: EDP relies on computer hardware, including central
processing units (CPUs), memory, storage devices, and input/output
peripherals. These components work together to process and manage data.

Software: EDP software includes operating systems, application


programs, and databases. Software provides the instructions and algorithms
needed to manipulate data and perform specific tasks.

Data: Data is the core element of EDP. It can include text, numbers,
images, and various other forms of information. EDP systems store,
retrieve, and manipulate data based on user requirements.
Key Components of EDP:
 Procedures: EDP procedures outline the step-by-step
processes for data entry, processing, analysis, and
reporting. Well-defined procedures ensure consistency
and accuracy in data handling.
 People: EDP relies on individuals who operate and
manage the systems. These may include IT
professionals, data analysts, programmers, and end-
users who interact with EDP systems.
