1. What is CDP?
Commercial Data Processing is the use of powerful computer systems to collect and process large volumes of data at high speed.
Most
large companies and organisations use a mainframe computer which processes
data very quickly and can store vast amounts of data that large companies
require.
Banks
and other organisations deal with millions of pieces of data each day.
CDP is used for:
- Stock control – keeping track of what a shop has to sell.
- Calculating wages and making up payslips
- Keeping track of orders
- Producing invoices
- Monitoring payments and withdrawals
- Processing application forms
- Producing
statements
CDP
makes it possible for businesses to keep accurate, up-to-date records
of thousands of customers that can be accessed straight away. This ensures
that a company operates as efficiently as possible.
