ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Business transaction performance

Okay kiddo, let me break it down for you. When we use the word "transaction" in business, we're talking about a trade or exchange of something, like money or goods.

Now, imagine you're at the store with your piggy bank full of coins. You want to buy your favorite candy bar, but the cashier is taking a really long time to scan the bar and give you your change. That's what we mean by "transaction performance" - how fast and efficient the process of buying and selling things is.

In a business setting, things can get even more complicated. Companies use computer systems and software to keep track of everything they buy and sell, and if those systems are slow or not working well, it can really slow things down for everyone involved.

So, when we talk about business transaction performance, we're saying that we want those systems to work quickly and smoothly, so that we can get our work done and make our customers happy. It's like the difference between waiting in a long line for your candy bar or being able to quickly grab it and go - we want everything to be as fast and efficient as possible.
