Individual data processing
Individual data processing (IDV) (often also end user computing (EUC)) refers to the independent and permissive use of PC- based computer programs by employees in an administration - as a desired alternative to server-based application programs with ready-made screen masks that leave the employees with very little freedom.
content
Individual data processing includes typical office applications such as word processing and spreadsheets as well as application software that advanced users have created themselves for their own use.
target
Individual data processing is therefore also a conscious counter-strategy to the all-encompassing centralization of IT tasks. It can make a significant contribution to saving costs and increasing the efficiency of an administration, but it also brings with it the risk of inadequate access to important company data. Newer programs for end-user computing therefore at least ensure data storage in central databases .
Tools
The tools for individual data processing also include report generators and some specially designed integrated development environments , e.g. B. Microsoft Access .
