Digital Literacy Flashcards
Automation
Workflows
The sequence of industrial, administrative, or other processes through which a piece of work passes from initiation to completion.
Automation
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
A term used for software tools that partially or fully automate human activities that are manual, rule-based, and repetitive.
Automation
Augmented Reality
Applying digital images or data in the form of text, graphics, audio, and other virtual enhancements, and integrating them into real world objects.
Automation
Bots
Short form for ‘robots’. It is a software application that runs automated tasks.
Automation
Business Process Automation
The use of technology to automate complex business processes, such as accounting, sales, or insurance claims processing and typically means redesigning workflows to be smarter and integrating transactional processes that run on software applications throughout the organization.
Automation
Fragmented Approach
An approach where you find more and more things to automate in processes with continuous testing.
Automation
Geo-spatial Analytics
The gathering, manipulating, and displaying of geographic information system (GIS) data and imagery including GPS and satellite photography and data.
Automation
Hyperautomation
The application of advanced automation technologies to increase the effectiveness of their workers, and to automate processes in more significant ways than traditional automation allows.
Automation
Intelligent Enterprise
The sum of all the relevant information that is available in an organization, along with an organization’s ability to extract value from all that data using the latest technology and make real time decisions based on these insights.
Automation
Self-Heals
A system that has the ability to perceive what is not operating correctly and, without external assistance, make the necessary adjustments to restore itself to normal operation.
Data
Big Data
A massive data set created by digital technology systems.
Data
Business Intelligence
The applications, infrastructure, tools, and best practices that enable access to and analysis of information to improve and optimize decision-making and performance.
Data
Business Reporting
Business reporting refers to both “the public reporting of operating and financial data by a business enterprise,” and “the regular provision of information to decision-makers within an organization to support them in their work.”
Data
Data Analytics
Data analytics is the science of analyzing raw data to make conclusions about that information.
Data
Data Engineering
Data engineering is the aspect of data science that focuses on practical applications of data collection and analysis.
Data
Data Governance
Data governance is when a company creates and enforces a set of actions, rules, and policies regarding its data and is the continuous process of securing high-quality data, including the structure, policies, and processes used to ensure effective and balanced decision making and accountability of business data
Data
Data Modeling
Data modeling in software engineering is the process of creating a data model for an information system by applying certain formal techniques.
Data
Predictive Analytics
Predictive analytics is the use of data, statistical algorithms and machine learning techniques to identify the likelihood of future outcomes based on historical data.
Data
Data Fabric
A design concept that serves as an integrated layer (fabric) of data and connecting processes. Amgen’s Enterprise Data Fabric (EDF) unleashes the power of data by taking siloed data and mapping it into domains that enable cross-functional sharing.
Data
Data Lake
A centralized repository of raw, unstructured data, most commonly implemented on a cloud-based storage platform.
Data
Data Visualization
Data visualization is the graphical representation of information and data.
Agile & DevOps
Agile
Agile is a mindset and a set of values and principles that guides how we work together and how we engage with our customers. Agile breaks large, complex problems into smaller modules that enable better collaboration, speed, quality, and customer-centricity.
AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a critical building block of digital transformation; it enables innovation and re-imagining the traditional way of operating. AI can learn complex concepts, patterns and relationships from data that enable machines to sense, comprehend, act, and learn.
AI
Machine Learning
A technique that helps to achieve AI by enabling systems to learn patterns from data and subsequently improve from experience.
Automation
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
A term used for software tools that partially or fully automate human activities that are manual, rule-based, and repetitive.
Blockchain
Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)
A distributed data store that contains historical transaction records and is the same for all participants in the network.
Cloud
Cloud
Model in which organizations access a shared pool of configurable computing resources - such as servers, networks, storage, development tools, or applications.
Enterprise Platforms
Software as a Service (SaaS)
SaaS is the most used cloud application service and is becoming a dominant way for organizations to access software applications. With SaaS, an organization is accessing a specific software application that is hosted on a remote server and managed by a third-party provider.
Security
Internet of Things (IoT)
The network of devices, vehicles, appliances, machines and “things” that have embedded electronics, software, and sensors that can connect these “things” together to send and receive data through the Internet.
