Abstract
It is one of the paradoxes of automation that it is a labour-intensive activity. That is to say the basic process of identifying, designing and creating automated systems requires considerable effort by people with many different skills. Commercial data processing is no exception to this general statement and in fact adds another dimension to it inasmuch as the operation of a commercial data processing centre also requires a considerable range of skills.
