Costly data entry mistake
Can a wrong data entry create a huge loss? Yes it can if the system does not allow one to rollback or alter once the information is submitted. Here is a reality from the recent news article in BBC “Tokyo error triggers huge lawsuit“. This reminds me of the recent newsletter “My Unexpected Reward from Best Buy” in Javalobby by Rick Ross. It is apparent from the above news that systems should be built to be more adaptive and should have some intelligence in such cases. Even a re verification and confirmation feature in the system would have reduced the possibility of such a erroneous transaction.
