Transaction Processing Systems

A transaction processing system exists to process large amounts of day-to-day transactions. Examples include ATMs and Library systems. They are used by staff or end users of an organisation and capture a lot of data that can be used higher up in an organisation. Transaction Processing Systems are vital for the operation of an organisation!
