Today in class, we briefly discussed TPS Reports. I thought it would be fun to look into these having watched the movie "Office Space" and hearing about them and how bad they are. First off, TPS Reports stands for Transaction Processing Systems. Now, what TPS Reports are, are just systems that monitor, collect, stores, and processes data that is generated from all business transactions.
If you have seen the movie "Office Space" you know all about the TPS Reports. For those of you that haven't; the main character, Michael works for a company called "Initech" in an office setting. Michael and his two friends that work for Initech, hate their jobs and attempt to secretly steal money through the system. Michael is constantly harrassed by his boss, Bill Lumbergh about getting the TPS Reports done. The movie portrays TPS Reports as something horrible and how people hate doing them. As I tried researching TPS Reports, there didn't appear to be a whole lot of information about them. Mostly it was things from the movie as I searched for the Reports.
The point is, TPS Reports are pretty plain and simple. They are how they sound; a processing system that monitors, collects and stores data that has been generated from all business transactions. If you really want to understand TPS Reports, I would suggest watching the movie Office Space and that will give you a better feel of peoples feelings towards them.
