Problems

problems occurs frequently and have to have a solution. The website im creating will be the solution to the problem that im not selling enough at store and have chosen to broaden and expanaded to the internet, as that is a solution that will help me sell more and advertise the products.

  • problem that may occurs is lack of stock inside the store, this can can be resolved by then having all products displayed on the internet.
  • The location of the store might not be suitable to customers who live a far distance, the soloution of the internet lets people view this from afar with the comfort from their own home.
  • Another problem is the security with the internet, people giving out thier details, a solution to this is the use of username and password, seuring the securtiy of personal detail.
  • The user interface can be a problem, but this will be solved with a simple easy way to acess and exit pages, and a simple; unique layout, helping with purchasing and such
  • An online stock detail will help aswell because it allows people to know an estimate of how long it will take to order.

Different types of Processing 5.10.2010

Today in James Fell lessons we learnt abut different type of processing. There are three different types of proccesing; Batch processing, Transatction processing and interactive processing.

Batch Processing
This occurs over a certain period of time, for example the pay roll. This happends monthly, however, during the month, information is recored, the hours you worked, your pay etc. and is processed at the end of the month.

Transaction Processing
This happends right there and then. For example, when booking for a ticket to the cinema you decide what you want to see adn then pay there and then and recive the ticket.

Interactive processing
interactive processing is the interactiong between human and computer i.e saving a file; the humand commands and the computer process it.
