Tech & Digital Fundamentals

What is Tech?

Tech, short for technology, is the set of tools that you use to handle and make the most out of digital information. These tools include computers, software, internet platforms, and all sorts of digital devices. Tech enables you to collect, analyse, and utilise digital data - transforming raw numbers and facts into valuable insights. It helps you automate processes, connect with customers online, manage your resources more efficiently, and stay competitive in the digital age. In summary, while digital is the raw material (data and content) of the modern business world, tech is the toolkit that helps you shape and extract value from that material.

What is Digital?

Think of 'digital' as the raw material in today's business world, akin to wood or metal in traditional craftsmanship. It encompasses all the data and content you interact with – from emails and website content to customer data and online transactions. Tech, in contrast, are the tools you use to capture and handle this digital material, like computers, software, and the internet. What makes digital so valuable is its power to offer insights, information, and intelligence. By analysing digital data, you gain a deeper understanding of your business landscape, customer behaviors, and market trends. This knowledge is key to making informed decisions, streamlining operations, and driving growth. Essentially, while tech is your toolkit, digital is both the material you mold and the source of insights that guide your business strategy.

What is Information Technology?

Information Technology involves
the use of computers, networking, and other physical devices, infrastructure, and processes to create, process, store, secure, and exchange all forms of electronic data. It’s a broad term that encompasses all technologies used to handle information. IT is not just about computers; it’s about harnessing technology to efficiently manage and communicate information in various forms.

What is the difference between Tech & Digital?

Tech and Digital serve
distinctive yet complementary roles in a business. Tech is the foundation – the hardware and software tools that make digital strategies possible. Digital, on
the other hand, is how these tools are employed to create value, interact with customers, and compete in the digital marketplace. Understanding the distinction
helps in strategic planning. While you invest in Tech for tools and
infrastructure, your digital strategy dictates how these tools are used to meet your business objectives. For instance, investing in a new CRM system (Tech) is just the first step. How you use it to improve customer relationships and gather insights is where the Digital strategy comes into play.

What is the Impact of Digital on Consumer Behaviour

The rise of digital has dramatically changed consumer behaviour. Customers now expect instant access to information, seamless online services, and personalised experiences. Businesses must adapt to these changing behaviours to stay relevant and competitive. This means not only having an online presence but also leveraging data analytics to understand and predict customer needs and preferences. Businesses must continuously innovate their digital offerings to meet the evolving expectations of their customers. Whether it’s through personalised marketing campaigns, mobile-friendly services, or using AI for enhanced customer support, adapting to the digital age is key to customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Cyber Security

What is the Network & Information Systems Regulation (NIS)?

The Network and Information Systems Regulations, introduced in 2018, are the UK's implementation of the EU's NIS Directive. These regulations aim to raise the levels of security and resilience of network and information systems across essential services, including energy, transport, water, and health services, as well as digital service providers like search engines, cloud computing services, and online marketplaces.

Artificial Intelligence

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence, at its simplest, is the capability of a computer program or a machine to think, learn, and make decisions akin to a human brain. It involves creating algorithms that enable machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

Answer

What is Machine Learning?

Machine Learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. It's about using data to teach computers how to make decisions.

5G Technologies

What is 5G?

5G is the fifth-generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks. It is the successor to the 4G networks that provide connectivity to most current cell phones.

5G networks are designed to deliver significantly higher data speeds, greater network capacity, reduced latency (or lag time), and more consistent connectivity than their predecessors.

What is a broadband cellular network?

A broadband cellular network is a wireless network distributed over land areas called cells, each served by a fixed-location transceiver, known as a cell tower or base station. These networks facilitate mobile communication and data transmission over a wide area.

The term ‘broadband’ in this context refers to a high-capacity transmission technique that enables a large number of frequencies or multiple data channels to transmit information simultaneously, supporting high-speed internet access.

What is 6G wireless technology?

6G refers to the sixth generation of wireless technology. It’s still in the conceptual and research phase and is expected to build upon and exceed the capabilities of 5G.

While still speculative, 6G could potentially offer data speeds up to 100 times faster than 5G, incredibly low latency, and even more reliable and dense network coverage.

What is a Private Network?

A private network is a network that is exclusively used by a single organization or entity. It is not accessible to the public or to outside users.

Dedicated Infrastructure: Unlike public networks, which are shared among multiple users, private networks are built on dedicated infrastructure, offering exclusive use to the organization that owns or leases it.
