Morphology

business + data + processing

The phrase is fully compositional: a learner who knows 'business' (commercial activity), 'data' (information) and 'processing' (systematic handling) can directly infer it means the handling/manipulation of business-related information. Although somewhat technical, the lexical elements are frequent and the construction is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will understand the MWE.

Etymology

Business data processing comes from the image of an office feeding piles of papers about sales and money, the business and the data, into a machine that sorts and files them, the processing. So today it means using computers to 'handle' and 'organize' business information.
