All That You Need to Know About Data Processing
What do you understand by Data Processing?
Data Processing is a process of collecting and manipulating the data, to produce a meaningful piece of information. You can easily retrieve, transform, or classify the information, with the help of dataprocessing. In short, it is the conversion of raw data into a unique and understandable form.
Do you think your business can flourish without the appropriate maintenance of data? No! Data is the essential and the most significant part of any organization. Hence, it is important to manage the data accurately and on a timely basis.
Let me explain you in brief about the various types of data processing:
- Manual data processing β It is a traditional way of carrying out the processing and was discovered before the advent of technological innovations.
- Electronic data processing β It refers to the recent time processes, wherein the computers, laptops, smartphones, WLAN, etc. are always at your service. Computers can now easily handle the operations, according to the commands offered by human users and programmers.
- Mechanical data processing β It refers to the processing during the era of calculators and typewriters. Slow speed and frequent occurrence of errors lead to the fall of this process.
The Essential Steps in Data Processing
- Editing β Editing and extracting the data is the foremost step.
- Coding β It refers to the systematic arrangement and alignment of data which can be understood by the computer systems.
- Entry of data β under this stage, the skilled professionals enter the data into the system, with high levels of concentration.
- Validation β It involves checking and re-checking, to detect the presence of any error (if present)
- Tabulation β It consists of arranging the data in a format, wherein it can be easily accessed during any further use or analysis.
The cycle of Data Processing has six steps β input, processing, output, interpretation, feedback, and storage.
