4. An information system designed to process
routine business transactions
seeks time- and cost-efficiency by
automating repetitive operations in large
volumes
centers around accounting and finance
transactions
e.g; airline reservation systems, order
entry/processing systems, bank’s account
processing systems

7. Large amounts of data are processed.
The sources of data are mostly
internal, and the output is intended
mainly for an internal audience.
The TPS processes information on a
regular basis:
daily, weekly, monthly, etc.
Large storage (database) capacity is
required.
High processing speed is needed due to
the high volume. MATHI MBA
8. TPS basically monitors and collects
past data.
Input and output data are
structured (i.e., standardized).
A high level of accuracy, data
integrity, and security is needed.
High reliability is required.

10. Originally, the only available option
Transactions accumulated over period of time
Time period – day, week, month
Transaction records accumulated in files
When batches are processed, what happens?
Update databases
Generate reports
Generate transactions for other systems
MATHI MBA
12. Transactions are processed in real time
Required for any “modern” application
where time is critical
Well supported by client/server
computing model
