Technology
What is the difference between automation and AI?
Automation follows predefined rules to carry out tasks. Artificial intelligence learns patterns from data and can handle tasks where rules are hard to write in advance. The two are often used together.
What does “the cloud” actually mean?
The cloud refers to computing resources — servers, storage, databases, and software — that are provided over the internet from data centers operated by a provider, rather than run entirely on equipment you own.
What is SaaS?
Software as a Service is software delivered online and usually paid for by subscription. The provider hosts and maintains the application, and you access it through a browser or app.
Is storing data in the cloud secure?
It can be, but security depends on how services are configured and managed. Providers secure their infrastructure, while customers are generally responsible for access controls, settings, and how their data is used.
Why does multi-factor authentication matter?
Multi-factor authentication requires more than one form of verification to sign in, so a stolen or guessed password alone is not enough to access an account.
Do I need a data warehouse to start using analytics?
Not necessarily. Many organizations start with reports from existing systems or spreadsheets. A data warehouse becomes useful when you need to combine and analyze data from several sources consistently.
