TOPIC 5 AS ICT

?
ADVANTAGES OF ICT OVER MANUAL METHODS:
Speed of searching / accurate calculation / speed of data communicarions / repetitive processing / speed of processing / data storage capacity
1 of 17
ACCURATE CALCULATIONS:
Calculations are carried out accurately (in a payroll spreadsheet if formula is correct then calculations will be correct)
2 of 17
SPEED OF DATA COMMUNICATIONS:
Messages are sent out across the world instantaneously.
3 of 17
REPETITIVE PROCESSING:
Carrying out the same task to the same standard repeatedly.
4 of 17
DATA STORAGE CAPACITY:
Able to store an enormous amount of info in a small space such as a hard drive.
5 of 17
INSUFFICIENT TESTING:
Has the system been checked in all sorts of situations.
6 of 17
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:
Is there someone whos job it is to ensure that the data and software is kept upto date and has proper backups?
7 of 17
PROPER BACKUPS:
Maintaining an incremental system.
8 of 17
EFFECTS OF HARDWARE:
If the system has an old slow processor ti will take too long to process data, cost of upgrading.
9 of 17
EFFECTS OF SOFTWARE:
Does the software put a big demand on the systenm
10 of 17
EFFECTS OF SOFTWARE:
Does the software put a big demand on the system / does it work well with other software.
11 of 17
SUITABILITY OF OPERATING SYSTEM:
If there is need for quick upto date info then there's no point running it on a batch processing system.
12 of 17
EFFECTS OF COMMUNICATION:
Do the different devices talk properly to each other, does the final system fit in what was requested.
13 of 17
LIMITATIONS OF DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS:
Speed of implementation / Compatibility / Insufficient testing / Poor communication with the user / Maintenance
14 of 17
SPEED OF IMPLEMENTATION:
Systems developed in a rush will likely have errors
15 of 17
COMPATIBILITY:
Whether the new system works well with the existing data
16 of 17
INSUFFICIENT TESTING:
Software wont do what it should do / contains bugs
