Description

This IDC Perspective looks at AI bringing new and improved business performance expectations and opportunities. AI isn't just the shiny new technology object but rather an opportunity to leverage more technology than in years past. While organizations have long been improving businesses with new line-of-business and industry applications, such that businesses' processes are faster and more efficient, AI brings the promise in 2025 to bring significant process and tasks improvements. This document brings forward a data-driven view of AI as it begins to proliferate into the organization. It brings a cursory view of the state of AI currently and in the future, examples of AI viewed as skills in conjunction with employee business processes, and tasks versus the role or job an employee does currently. Considerations of migrations, modernizations, and AI vendors are provided as the organization looks at their current and future technologies. Mickey North Rizza, group vice president, Enterprise Software at IDC, said, "The change from AI will have a massive impact to an employee's role and job, technologies' usage, and the organization's KPIs and metrics. It is critical to recognize that managing a business to success in the coming years will look completely different from the past 50+ years of technology usage."

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.
