• Data Processing:
  Activities such as calculating, sorting, classifying, and summarizing raw data to convert it into meaningful information suitable for decision-making.

• Information Storage and Retrieval:
  The systematic saving of processed or raw data for future use and the ability to retrieve this information efficiently when needed.

• Dissemination of Information:
  The distribution of finalized information to users within the organization, either periodically or in real-time via digital means.
