Techopedia Explains Back-End System

The separation of front-end and back-end computer systems simplifies the computing process when dealing with multilayered development and maintenance. Back-end systems deal with databases and data processing components, so the purpose of the back-end system is to launch the operating system’s programs in response to front-end system requests and operations. In other words, the back-end system implements responses to what the front end has initiated.
