EXAMPLES OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS:
Transaction Processing Systems
Most of an organizations daily activities are recorded and processed by its transaction processing
system (TPS), which receives input data and converts them into outputinformationintended for
various users. Input data are called transactionsevents that affect a business. A financial
transaction is an economic event: it affects the firms assets, is reflected in its accounting statements,
and is measured in monetary terms. Sales of goods to customers, purchases of inventory from suppliers,
and salaries paid to employees are all financial transactions. Everything else is a nonfinancial
transaction. The marketing department, for example, might add some demographic data to its customer
database. The information would be processed by the firms TPS, but it wouldnt be a financial
transaction.
