At the same time these computers record which hours arebusiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffingassignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer forpromotional campaigns. Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazinepublishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficientservices to consumers through the use of computers.
