STAGES OF DATA
PROCESSING CYCLE OBJECTIVES At the end of this module, the learner should be able to:
describe the major activities in the
stages of data processing explain the stages involved in the processing of data create a diagram of data processing cycle STAGES OF DATA PROCESSING CYCLE Much of data management is essentially about extracting useful information from data. To do this, data must go through a data mining process to be able to get meaning out of it. There are a wide range of approaches and techniques to do this, and it is important to start with the most basic understanding the cycle of data processing stage. DATA PROCESSING CYCLE Refers to the sequence of activities involved in data transformation from its raw form to information. It is often referred to as cycle because the output obtained can be stored after processing and may be used in future as input. DATA PROCESSING CYCLE The data processing cycle consists of a series of steps where raw data (input) is fed into a process (CPU) to produce actionable insights (output). Each step is taken in a specific order, but the entire process is repeated in a cyclic manner. The first data processing cycle's output can be stored and fed as the input for the next cycle. Six main steps in the data processing cycle, and these are the following: 1. Collection 2. Preparation 3. Input 4. Processing Please keep this slide for 5. Output attribution 6. Storage COLLECTION Collection is the first stage of data processing cycle. Collection of data is a challenging task, but it is an area in which we should give more focus, after all, it is the most essential on which the result depends on. The collection process ensures that the data obtained are well defined and accurate to ensure the validity of the data. PREPARATION Preparation involves sorting and filtering of data which will be ultimately used as input. This stage is required to delete the unwanted and less important data to make the required data more interesting and reliable. This step ensures that the data is within limits and contains vital information. INPUT It is a function where data prepared is verified and transformed into computer readable form so that it can be easily processed. The process of data entry is done through input devices like keyboard, scanner, or data entry from another source. This process takes a lot of time and hence require a lot of speed and accuracy in its work. The data must be very rigid and formal since a lot of processing power is required to cut down the hardcore data in this stage. Due to this reason, many businesses opt to outsource this stage of data processing. PROCESSING This is the stage where data is subject to various automated and mechanical means of processing. The process may be built up with various threads of execution that in turns give an instruction based on operating system. Processing of data takes a lot of time depending on the complex nature and the amount of input data. The above-mentioned stage i.e., the stage of preparation helps in making the step of process faster. OUTPUT This is the stage where the processed data is now delivered to the interested users. Data is transmitted to users in various reports like the printed report, video, audio or on a monitor. The data need to be interpreted in such a manner that it provides reliable information to the users and guide them in making decisions. STORAGE Where the data collected, prepared, processed, and interpreted are maintained for the future purpose. The major benefit of this stage is that it enables quick access and retrieval of the processed data allowing it to be passed on to the next stage. The need to process data is now widely realized and reflected in every field of work. It is a multidimensional process which is involved in almost every field. It is the task of synchronizing the collected data from different sources and convert it to an organized form. We in offshore data processing make sure that all these factors are taken into consideration for providing the best data processing services. THANK Prepared By:
