Data communication
Management information system requires a data communication network of some type
whether it is operating in a centralized or a distributed data processing mode. In
centralized processing, terminals at the head office site and at remote locations are
attached to the centralized computer system in order to perform the major task of
manipulating. In contrast, most of the manipulating performed at a remote site within a
distributed data processing mode stays at that site.
The whole database system will be networked and online so, on every update from
any branch database will be updated.

but there are greater potential problems with garbled data. The switched telephone
network is not considered to be the best medium for transferring data. Thus the
need grows to look at data network lines.
