What is the role of transnational processing in ISM and it is affected by

Big data, ML, Al etc.

Transnational processing is a type of information processing system, software

and hardware combination, which supports Transaction processing.
Transaction processing is a type of computer processing in which each
individual task, called a transaction, is worked upon and executed as and when
it comes. The response to requests is immediate

In the context of Business Warehousing, OLTP systems feeds transaction data

to OLAP systems, several vendors such as SAP and Oracle have the
architectural model in place (Data marts, OLAP and OLTP servers and BW
software to perform ETL and other data manipulations on infocubes) to come
up with new algorithm, predicates and insight into correlations between data
sets. The reporting mechanism that gives statistics on x and y would come as
standard and can help with things like financial analysis, the real power in BI is
the implications of Big Data.

This gives it the following characteristics:

 Predictability
 Reliability
 Consistency

Transaction processing systems are helpful in three areas:

 System runtime functions
 System administration functions
 Application development functions
 Big data analytics depend on transactional data

Though big data fed into platforms like Hadoop can be unstructured or
semi-structured, organizations often load transactional data, structured and
master data. So, this multi-structured data provides a perfect context for data
analysis in the big data analytics environment. For example, clickstream data
often needs both customer and product master data along with customer
transaction data. Since understanding customer online behavior has become a
strategic way nowadays, clickstream data has become paramount. Thus, in big
data analytics, the combination of all four data shows a new path of analysis.
These data include – customer data, product data, non-transactional
clickstream data, and transaction data.

How does Big data impact transactional data?

With the pervasive use of IoT and social media, operational non-transactional
data are generating at a scale. This data includes sensor data,
machine-generated log data, gaming data, a news feed, user clicks, reviews, etc.
Big data analytics is used in this case, and to capture the data NoSql database
is mostly used as the data remain in a self-described format like JSON, XML,
BSON, etc. Another reason to select NoSQL is - it supports schemaless data,
performs automatic partitioning, high availability, cluster scalability, etc. In this
format, NoSQL doesn't support ACID properties, instead it supports BASE
(Basically Available, Soft state, Eventual consistency), which always guarantees
data availability but eventual consistency.
Since we are discussing transactional data, how does this non-transactional
data relate to it? As presently, most of the transaction happens online, there is
a relentless increase in online transactional data. Moreover, with the pervasive
use of mobile devices, mobile commerce is in the rage. This is giving
transactional data volumes to new levels. However, if we compare it with
clickstream data in weblogs, this increase is small compared to clickstream
data. Where the transactional level is reaching unprecedented volume, it is
interesting to know that edge devices like web and mobile edge devices
embed traditional DBMSs to catch data on edge for analysis. Thus data from
billions of connected devices can be harnessed and used in a meaningful way
in big data analytics. So, capturing and using this non-transactional data to
analyze transactional data is, no doubt, is paramount to the success of
everyday business-related big data analytics.
