Data Processing

computer data processing is any computring process that converts datas into information or knowledge. The processing is usually assumed to be automated and running on a computer. Because datas are most useful when well-presented and actually informative, data-processing systems are often referred to as information systems to emphasize their practicality.

Nevertheless, the terms are roughly synonymous, performing similar conversions; data-processing systems typically manipulate raw data into information, and likewise information systems typically take raw data as input to produce information as output.Data can be seen as a raw material, which be later coverted to information. i.e For a company that wants to produce bornvita, such company will need to make use of cocoa,which means that cocoa is the raw material for the production of borntiva, likewise data is the raw material for information.

Data has to pass through a specific process before it could be changed to information, and it is called a process. Data processing is any process that converts data into information. The processing is usually assumed to be automated and running on an a personal computer or other information system. In this context data is defined as a collection of numbers or characters that represent a measurement from the real world. The measured information has previously been converted to data as discussed below.

Information is defined as a meaningful answer to a query. More generally, the term data processing can apply to any process that converts data from one format to another, although data conversion would be the more logical and correct term. From this perspective, data processing becomes the process of converting information into data and also the converting of data back into information. The distinction is that conversion doesn't require a question (query) to be answered.

For Example, information in the form of an string of characters forming a sentence in English is converted or encoded at a keyboard into ASCII code after which it may be more easily processed by a computer and finally converted or decoded to be displayed as characters on the computer display. Practically all naturally occurring processes can be viewed in this context as examples of data processing systems where ""real world"" information in the form of pressure, light, etc. are converted by human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognise as touch, sound, and vision. Even the interaction of non-living systems may be viewed in this way as rudimentary information processing systems.

Softsys knows that wrong data leads to wrong decisions. Thus take every care that the data, we enter, meets all the validation checks at the operator level. If certain data do not meets the validation requirements, then the source document, is flagged. Again the data supervisor checks the data entered by the operators and pass the data files to the project in-charge and finally, the project in-charge test checks the data for accuracy. Thus we ensure that the data entered/ processed by us, meets the accuracy standard. We undertake all types of data procesing job works from hand written documents to image documents.

Softsys support database from DOS to Windows based operating system. Softsys develop own software for data processing even for data processing, if the client do not provide the data processing software. Even if the client, provide software for data processing then, we develop our own data validation system for ensuring the accuracy of the data and give feedback to the client regarding the discrepancies, if any in the data .
