It is the department that looks after the electronic data processing needs of an organization. Today it would be better known as the IT of Information Technology dept. or Information Systems dept. Hope that is clear.

--------------------

EDP stands for Electronic Data Processing. There is a department that takes this name with an objective to control the inventory and stock, mainly, the movement of the goods between different locations, warehouse, and suppliers. This department undertakes the responsibility of managing continuous stocktaking and digital data integrity in the information system as well.

EDP department is independent from IT department, but uses the information systems and other services managed and supported by this department. Sometimes an IT qualified personnel works under the EDP department to speed up support process and coordinate with IT department.

Hope this information answers your question!
