Difference between Data processing and data processing system


SN
Difference between Data processing and data processing system:
We use computers mainly for data processing i.e. Converting  Data into information but total infrastructures like manpower, machines, various types of input devices, output Devices, applications (software) required for converting this data into information is known as data processing System. Following are main differences between data processing and data processing system.

Data processing
Data processing system
1
It is a technique (definition) to convert Data into information.

It is a system (combination of man, machine, Applications Etc.) For data processing.
2
In this technique we organize or Restructure the data into information.

The total components involved in this organization or Restructuring of data known as data processing System.
3
Data processing can be manual or Electronic.

If data processing is done manually then system made for this type of data processing will be known manual Processing system. And if it is done with the help of  Computers then it would be known as electronic data Processing system
4
Elements  Of data processing are data  (record, files ), and techniques ( logics  Or applications)

Elements of data processing systems are data, Persons (who prepare the data), input devices, Machines, techniques, output devices, etc.
