I have been using 'introducing data' but I could also use 'inputting data', right?
Any other synonyms?

entering data
more than 52,000 hits on Altavista
introducing data gives "only" 3,000 + hits
Inputting data: more than 6,000
So I would choose "entering data"

: Yes, "entering data" is a very good option. But "introducing data" is also perfectly acceptable and widely used (no matter what google says).

for data, yes.
Ailish, when you say "data", then, absolutely, you can say "input data". It's the same as "introduce data". But in other contexts it may not be the same. For example, you can say "introduce a new variable X", not input; then you can "input data/values of X". The difference is not easy to understand, but this is just what's widely used.
