Advantages of electronic data processing

Answer 1

Electronic Data Processing (EDP)

can refer to the use of automated methods to process commercial data. Typically, this uses relatively simple, repetitive activities to process large volumes of similar information. For example: stock updates applied to an inventory, banking transactions applied to account and customer master files, booking and ticketing transactions to an airline's reservation system, billing for utility services.

ADVANTAGES

1. speed

it operates the speed of electric flow which is measured in billions and trillionth of a second. It is faster than any other machine designed to do similar works.

2. Accuracy

High speed processing by computer is accompanied by high accuracy results the electronic circuitry of computer is such that, when the machine are programmed correctly and when incoming data is error free, the accuracy of the output is relatively assured.

3Automatic operation

An electronic computer can carry out sequence of many data processing operations without human interaction, the various operations are executed by way of a stored computer program

4. Decision making capability

A computer can perform certain decision instruction automatically

5. Compact storage

Electronic data processing system have the ability to store large amounts of data in compact and easily retrievable form

6. Discipline imposes

to solve problem-with computer you must, first understand the problem, second, program the computer to give you right answers. Understand a problem is one thing but understanding it to the depth of detail and insight required to program the computer is a completely different matter

One of the most beneficial advantage of electronic spreadsheet advantage of using electronic spreadsheet is a savings in manpower and time . Spreadsheets allow a user to easily compute mathematical functions. spreadsheet software package can be used for a variety of tasks to manage a program or research project and to cut costs in evaluation. LOTUS 1 2 3 is a versatile, commonly available, and well-known electronic spreadsheet package.

Spreadsheets were originally designed to emulate financial ledgers and balance sheets. They are useful for estimating projected costs and for simplified budgets. Subtotals and totals for a number of categories are automatically updated when an amount is changed.

Similar techniques may be used to collect, code, sort, and analyze research data--a particularly useful technique for tabulating questionnaire responses. It is also possible to enter questionnaire responses into the spreadsheet while conducting a telephone interview. Several commands may be chained together into a macro, in order to simplify data entry at the terminal.

LOTUS can be programmed to perform statistical procedures, and can sort and graph data. Data are stored on a floppy diskette and may be transferred to a mainframe computer, word processor, or software package. The amount of data which can fit into a spreadsheet is limited by the amount of memory capacity of the hardware system and the ease of moving around many screens of dataFor the most part spreadsheets are benefical in the educational environment because reports can be easily generated and can be used as a way to tabulate many kinds of information, not just financial records

Answer 4

The function of electronic data processing also known as EDP is to process data via an automated method. EDP is used to process a large volume of data, for example generating monthly bills for customers.

Answer 5

Electronic Data Processing is preferred over manual data processing because:

a. It is fast

b. It is efficient

c. It does not make mistakes

d. Can handle any amount of data

e. It does not suffer from lapse of concentration or fatigue

f. It can work continuously without taking breaks (like what humans do) and most importantly

g. They don't ask for a pay rise (just kidding)

Answer 6

Basically the same as the "electronic" storage of information in general. Information stored on computer systems can be copied easily (this may also be a disadvantage, for privacy reasons), and computer systems can analyze such information quickly, using diverse criteria.

Answer 7

A CPU (Central Processing Unit), or GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) can process a whole lot faster than our mind can. All they lack is really creativity.

Answer 8

what are the advantages of electric evidence

Answer 9

Reliability, speed and ease of storage.
