Abstract: Card auditing and calculating takes a great deal of
time, particularly for companies using full-
time time-keepers to calculate and audit
time cards. If the
time cards are handwritten, it takes even more
time to review, calculate, edit, and (typically) re-enter the data into a payroll system. However, automation reduces audit
time by pre-processing punches against rules defined within the system.

There are bigger disks storing an abundance of larger files than ever before, so the effects of fragmentation can worsen noticeably over time. To keep up with same-day performance degradation, disks must be defragmented in real time.
