  Types Of DataProcessingTypes Of Data Processing 2. Mechanical Data Processing Different calculations and processing are performed using mechanical machines like calculators etc. The use of mechanical machines makes data processing easier and less time- consuming. The chances of errors also become far less than manual data processing.

Electronic Data Processing EDP an infrequently used term forEDP an infrequently used term for what is today usually called "IS" (information serviceswhat is today usually called "IS" (information services or systems) or "MIS" (management informationor systems) or "MIS" (management information services or systems), is the processing ofservices or systems), is the processing of datadata by aby a computer and its programs in an environmentcomputer and its programs in an environment involving electronic communication. EDP evolved frominvolving electronic communication. EDP evolved from "DP" (data processing), a term that was created when"DP" (data processing), a term that was created when most computing input was physically put into themost computing input was physically put into the computer in punched card form or in ATM cardscomputer in punched card form or in ATM cards form and output as punched cards or paper reports.form and output as punched cards or paper reports.

Data has to be processed in aand output of data. Data has to be processed in a small stipulated time period (real time), otherwise itsmall stipulated time period (real time), otherwise it will create problems for the system.will create problems for the system. For exampleFor example, when a bank customer withdraws a sum, when a bank customer withdraws a sum of money from his or her account it is vital that theof money from his or her account it is vital that the transaction be processed and the account balancetransaction be processed and the account balance updated as soon as possible, allowing both the bankupdated as soon as possible, allowing both the bank and customer to keep track of funds.and customer to keep track of funds.

Batch Processing In a batch processing group of transactionsIn a batch processing group of transactions collected over a period of time is collected, entered,collected over a period of time is collected, entered, processed and then the batch results are produced.processed and then the batch results are produced. Batch processing requires seperate programs forBatch processing requires seperate programs for input, process and output. It is an efficient way ofinput, process and output. It is an efficient way of processing high volume of data.processing high volume of data.
