Article Abstract:
Technological advances have played a major role in business transactions. The onset of electronically captured data have made vast improvements in business trade, making it cost-efficient and less time-consuming. With the introduction of the spread sheet download, accounting operations are enhanced and data processing has become more manageable and accurate. This new concept in data processing has not only bridged information gap, but has also increased cash management capacity while storing massive amounts of information. Moreover, business firms need not divert numerous hours on clerical tasks, but focus instead on analysis of information.
