E-Commerce Support Systems

These were among the earliest computerized systems. Their primary purpose is to record, process, validate, and store transactions that take place in the various functional areas/of business for future retrieval and use.

Transaction Processing System (TPS)

Which statement is NOT TRUE about Transaction Processing System (TPS)?

It involves sharing information over a distance; this allows businesses and organizations to have a broad, possibly global reach.

"This type of transaction is done from within the company and is usually related to the inside processes of any organization. Examples are Recruitment Policy Systems for human resource and Approval Systems for record keepers." Which Type of Transaction is being described?

Internal

"This transaction type is outside of any organization and is related to outside sources. Typical examples are Purchasing Systems for supply chains and Sales Systems for product sellers." Which Type of Transaction is being described?

External

Select all are the characteristics of TPS

It can record internal and external transactions for a company. It is a repository of data that is frequently accessed by other systems., It can perform routine, repetitive tasks. It is mostly used by lower-level managers to make operational decisions., Transactions can be recorded in batch mode or online. In batch mode, the files are updated periodically; in online mode, each transaction is recorded as it occurs., It can perform the six (6) main steps in processing a transaction: data entry, data validation, data processing and revalidation, storage, output generation, and query support.

"Transaction data must first be entered into the system so it can be processed. There are several input devices for entering data, including the keyboard and the mouse." Which process of TPS is being described

Data Entry

"A data entry subprocess; transaction data must be captured as close as possible to the source that generates the data. For example, managers of supermarkets can capture data that rarely changes (such as recorded transactions for the day) by prerecording it on machine-readable media, or by storing it on the computer system" Which process of TPS is being described

Data Capture

"error detection and error correction. Some commonly used error detection procedures are checking the data for appropriate font (text, numbers, etc.), checking for aberrations (values that are too low or too high), and checking for missing data, invalid data, and inconsistent data." Which process of TPS is being described

Data Validation

"Once the accuracy and reliability of the data are validated, the data is ready for processing. There are two ways to process the transactions: online (almost instantaneous processing due to Internet connectivity) and batch mode (transactions are accumulated over time and processed)." Which process of TPS is being described

Data Processing and Revalidation

"Processed data must be carefully and properly stored for future use. For example, flash drives are often used to store data that is batch-processed, however online transaction processing cannot be done on flash drives because the accumulated data needs a much bigger disk capacity than what flash drives offer." Which process of TPS is being described

Data Storage

"This can be communicated to decision-makers, and other relevant partied in two (2) common ways: documents/reports (physical copies of data) and forms (digital, soft copies)." Which process of TPS is being described

Output Generation

"These facilities allow users to process data and information that may otherwise not be readily available, such as previously stored data. These systems provide data in demand, provided that a systems user gives the proper parameters for data that will be retrieved." Which process of TPS is being described

Query Support

It is a type of information system that can record, process, and report all routine and repetitive activities of an organization. The processes may occur across various departments

Operational Information System

"Operational costs will be reduced due to the system’s capacity to streamline processes, specifically those that use manual labor to accomplish." Which advantage of operational information system is being described

Reduced Cost

"Routine processes that are automated by the system take advantage of the system’s processing power to accomplish the tasks quickly." Which advantage of operational information system is being described

Increased Speed

"The margin for human error is reduced, if not eliminated, as the system is capable of accomplishing the tasks using a fool-proof process algorithm." Which advantage of operational information system is being described

Increased Accuracy

"Systems can also streamline customer service processes to ensure that it is delivered efficiently. " Which advantage of operational information system is being described

Increased Customer Service

"Operational information systems, like TPS, can store and generate relevant data for reports, documents, and forms, which can be used by managers and/or executives for decisions concerning the future of the enterprise" Which advantage of operational information system is being described
