Transactional Processing Systems

Transactional Processing Systems (TPS) are computer systems that handle and record daily business transactions, such as sales, payments, or orders. They ensure that each transaction is completed accurately and reliably, updating the necessary data immediately. Think of it like the cash register in a store: every sale is recorded and your inventory is updated instantly. TPS are essential for maintaining the consistency and integrity of business data, allowing organizations to monitor operations effectively and make informed decisions based on real-time information.
