From the Paper:
"Transaction Process Systems, also referred to as TPS, are types of information systems that are instrumental in collecting, storing, modifying and retrieving the transactions of an organization or business enterprise. A transaction can be defined as any event that can be termed as having passed the data storage and modification acid test. This system is comprised of features which should ensure that transaction process is reliable. They ensure that customer orders are diligently met on time, and that the organization's associates and suppliers are paid on time and can subsequently make payment to the business. Given that transaction processing in any organization is a vital exercise, this concept has become a key component of efficient and effective management of business."Transaction processing systems provide organizations with ways to process their transactions in a quick and efficient manner, without delays and wastages. They enable data to flow and progress in a smooth and consistent manner within the organization. Basically a transaction processing system is characterized by rapid processing. Given the changing business trends and technology and the competitive nature of enterprises, is imperative to process transactions occur quickly. Thus transaction processing systems ensure that data is processed instantly to aid in decision making as regards customer needs, trends, tastes and requirements."
