What factors effect the efficiency of data processing systems?
compatiblity,poor communications, hardware, software, insufficient testing and maintenance
6 of 8
Give some examples of inefficiency within data proccessing systems?
Compatibility-the design on computer could be different to what has been printed out,poor communication-unclear error messages,hardware-old processor will take longer to process,maintenance(worker)- WITHOUT BACKUPS WORK WOULD BE LOST IN A POWERCUT.
