Description

AWS Brings Personalization and Automation to Retail at Scale

This IDC Market Note covers a recent AWS tour of Amazon Fresh, Neiman Marcus, and the Nike store. It also covers some of the technologies that enhance customer and associate experiences alike. In IDC's view, the technology innovations that AWS and other vendors are helping to drive can offer retailers the ability to personalize at scale and make shopping more efficient while simultaneously making it more engaging for the customer. These innovations also enable retailers to move repetitive and non-value-added tasks to automation, thereby making smarter use of their workforces by enabling them to interface directly with customers and to do so with the data they need — literally at their fingertips. "Regardless of the specific applications, tech stacks, and data used, retailers need to modernize their businesses through cloud, automation, and analytics/AI, moving away from legacy technology to enable the personalization, speed, and other services that today's consumers expect," said Jordan K. Speer, research director, IDC Retail Insights. "Whether they are looking for information from a sales associate, looking online for inventory in their size and the ability to reserve and pick it up in store, or counting on personalized offers that cater to their interests, consumers tell us that they will go elsewhere when their expectations are not met."

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.
