Topic Importance of Data Processing

Data processing is an important multidimensional process involved in almost every field. It allows for increased productivity, better decisions, and more accurate and reliable information. The key benefits of data processing include cost reduction, easier storage and distribution of reports, better analysis and presentation. There are six main stages of data processing: data collection, data preparation, data input, processing, data output/interpretation, and data storage. Proper data processing is crucial for fields dealing with large data like education, banking, and transportation.

IMPORTANCE

OF
DATA PROCESSING

INTRODUCTION
I mportance of data processing includes increased productivity and profits, better decisions, more accurate
and reliable. Further cost reduction, ease in storage, distributing and report making followed by better
analysis and presentation are other advantages. The need to process data is now widely realized and
reflected in every field of work. Let the work be done in a business atmosphere or for educational research
purpose, data management systems are used by every business. It is a multidimensional process which is
involved in almost every field of human life. Generally speaking, the term “Data Processing” is used where
you have to collect innumerable data files from different sources. You have to arrange them in a way that can
be practically beneficial for the purpose you have gathered all that material. It is a task of synchronizing
collected data from different sources and convert it to an organized form . This makes it easy to understand
and retrieve the specific information anytime. There are various data processing methods which include
manual data processing, mechanical data processing and electronic data processing. Data processing is one
of the most important daily tasks especially when dealing with big data and performing data mining. All those
fields where we can expect a huge data available to settle down like education, banking or transportation
now realises the importance of data processing. With the emergence of fields like data science, data
analysis, big data etc. the need to process data and to understand the importance of processing the data is
crucial.
Six stage of data processing

1. Data collection
Collecting data is the first step in data processing. Data is pulled from available
sources, including data lakes and data warehouses. It is important that the data
sources available are trustworthy and well-built so the data collected (and later used as
information) is of the highest possible quality.
2. Data preparation
Once the data is collected, it then enters the data preparation stage. Data preparation,
often referred to as “pre-processing” is the stage at which raw data is cleaned up and
organized for the following stage of data processing. During preparation, raw data is
diligently checked for any errors. The purpose of this step is to eliminate bad data
(redundant, incomplete, or incorrect data) and begin to create high-quality data for the
best business intelligence.
3. Data input
The clean data is then entered into its destination (perhaps a CRM like Salesforce or a
data warehouse like Redshift), and translated into a language that it can understand.
Data input is the first stage in which raw data begins to take the form of usable
information.
4. Processing
During this stage, the data inputted to the computer in the previous stage is actually
processed for interpretation. Processing is done using machine learning algorithms,
though the process itself may vary slightly depending on the source of data being
processed (data lakes, social networks, connected devices etc.) and its intended use
(examining advertising patterns, medical diagnosis from connected devices,
determining customer needs, etc.).
5. Data output/interpretation
The output/interpretation stage is the stage at which data is finally usable to non-data
scientists. It is translated, readable, and often in the form of graphs, videos, images,
plain text, etc.). Members of the company or institution can now begin to self-serve the
data for their own data analytics projects.
6. Data storage
The final stage of data processing is storage. After all of the data is processed, it is then
stored for future use. While some information may be put to use immediately, much of it
will serve a purpose later on. Plus, properly stored data is a necessity for compliance
with data protection legislation like GDPR. When data is properly stored, it can be
quickly and easily accessed by members of the organization when needed.
