Key concepts explained by Excelia experts

AI

Algorithm

A set of defined instructions to perform a task or solve a specific problem.

Cloud

Azure

Microsoft's cloud services platform that supports infrastructure, applications, data, and artificial intelligence.

Data

Big Data

Volumes of data so large that they require distributed processing architectures to store, analyze, and turn them into value.

Strategy

BI

Business Intelligence: a set of tools and processes to transform raw data into useful information for decision making.

Cyber

Encryption

Security protocol that protects the integrity and privacy of sensitive information using cryptographic techniques.

CRM

Customer Journey

Complete user or customer experience from the first contact with a brand to conversion, loyalty or recommendation.

Data

Data Lake

Storage system that allows large volumes of data to be preserved in their original format for later analysis and use.

AI

Deep Learning

Deep learning based on artificial neural networks, used to solve complex tasks such as computer vision, language, or prediction.

Strategy

AI

Machine Learning

A branch of artificial intelligence that allows machines to learn patterns from data without being explicitly programmed for each task.

Data

NLP

Natural Language Processing: technology that allows systems to interpret, analyze, and generate human language.

Cyber

Pentesting

Simulated attack tests to identify vulnerabilities, assess risks, and strengthen the security of systems, applications, or networks.

ERP

RPA

Robotic Process Automation: technology to automate manual, repetitive, and rule-based tasks.

Cloud

SaaS

Software as a Service: a model for consuming applications via the internet, without the need for local installation.

Cyber

SOC

Security Operations Center: team responsible for monitoring, detecting, analyzing and responding to cybersecurity threats.

Data

SQL

Structured query language used to manage, query, and manipulate information stored in relational databases.

Cyber
