Transaction and Process

Author: Beagle Research, Partner Relationship Management - Transaction and process are a couple of words that are often used interchangeably though they mean different things. They’re not opposites like jumbo and shrimp that would make an oxymoron. Transaction and process are a pair more like data and information. They’re related not as synonyms or antonyms but through a hierarchy. You can cultivate data into information and a transaction frequently happens at the end of a process - for instance, a sales process yields a sales transaction.
