INTRODUCTION:

A transaction can be a single unit of work. A transaction in business terminology is that an

economic event that changes the financial position of an organization; often takes the form of

an exchange of economic consideration (such as goods, services, money, or rights to collect

money) between two parties. Therefore, a Business Transaction Processing System is a

system that supports a business in the delivery of its business transactions. Transactional

processing system is a basic information system that serves the operational level. It is a

computerized system that performs the daily routine transaction necessary to conduct for

example Deposits, payments, orders or reservations. Business TPS collect, store, analyse and

modify the daily transactions of an organization.

A Business TPS should have the ability to process work flows. Each state of the business

transaction can be represented by a step in the work flow. Each step in the work flow may be

composed of the following phases:

1. Work Planning - The periodic process of planning for future work. This often involves

review of historical work.

2. Work Receiving and Arrival Reporting - The process of receiving and getting control over

newly arrived work.

3. Work Monitoring - Review all available work, prioritization and scheduling the work that

have to be done.

4. Work Processing and Recording - Doing the work and recording the results of the work.

5. Work Routing - Based on the change in state to the work, pass the work along to the next

stage in the processing.

6. Work Evaluation - On a periodic basis, analyze the work. The information from this step

is often the input to the Work Planning phase.

Efficiency is defined as the most output is obtained from a given amount of inputs. It is the

art of producing more with less effort. It is the capacity to execute a task correctly, always

trying to improve one's performance. When the bank maximizes the output from the given

level of input, pure technical efficiency occurs.

To make a bank more efficient it is necessary to introduce new technologies. The

advancement of new technology has a direct effect on the efficiency of a bank. Now days

efficient and offer new service like automated tellers, telephone banking and the Internet

banking. Financial innovation and automation have been major forces impacting on the
