'''Employee scheduling software''' [[automated planning and scheduling|automates]] the process of creating and maintaining a [[Schedule (workplace)|schedule]]. Automating the scheduling of employees increases productivity and allows organizations with hourly workforces to re-allocate resources to non-scheduling activities. Such software will usually track [[vacation time]], [[sick time]], compensation time, and alert when there are conflicts.<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last=Pattie|first=Maes|s2cid=207178655|year=2000|title=Agents that Reduce Work and Information Overload|journal=MIT Media Laboratory|volume=37|issue=7|pages=30–40|doi=10.1145/176789.176792}}</ref> As scheduling data is accumulated over time, it may be extracted for payroll or to analyze past activity. Although employee scheduling software may or may not make optimization decisions, it does manage and coordinate the tasks.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Ernst|first1=A.

===Magnetic tape===
During the 1960s, the punched card was gradually replaced as the primary means for data storage by magnetic tape, as better, more capable computers became available. [[Mohawk Data Sciences Corporation|Mohawk Data Sciences]] introduced a magnetic tape encoder in 1965, a system marketed as a keypunch replacement which was somewhat successful, but punched cards were still commonly used for data entry and programming until the mid-1980s when the combination of lower cost magnetic disk storage, and affordable interactive terminals on less expensive minicomputers made punched cards obsolete for this role as well.<ref>Aspray (ed.), W.
