Description

The information and communications technology (ICT) industry is undergoing an important transformation, evolving from traditional hardware- & software-centric, and communications infrastructure to cloud-based, interconnected digital ecosystems. This shift has been driven by advances in artificial intelligence (AI), mobile computing, big data analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), which have collectively transformed the ICT industry, allowing businesses of all sizes to leverage technology tools that were once available only to large enterprises, fundamentally reshaping how companies engage with their customers and deliver value.

This technological evolution has impacted customer experience (CX) delivery, enabling organizations to provide personalized, omnichannel interactions that meet increasingly sophisticated customer expectations. Modern ICT infrastructure allows companies to gather and analyze customer data across touchpoints, anticipate needs through predictive analytics, and support customers through an increasing array of AI-powered tools.

This global research offers a current snapshot of this transformation, highlighting important ICT industry trends and their impact on CX delivery through 2026. A survey was conducted in from January to March 2025 and includes data from 127 respondents.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
