Description

This IDC Market Perspective shares an overview of AWS re:Invent 2025 that marked a pivotal inflection point, with AWS positioning itself as the foundational platform for the agentic era — where autonomous AI agents, not just applications, drive enterprise value. The event showcased AWS' full-stack reinvention: from custom silicon (Trainium 3/4) and sovereign AI factories to Bedrock's model platform and the AgentCore Runtime for secure, scalable agent deployment. AWS' partner ecosystem was front and center, with new programs, expanded marketplace capabilities, and strategic co-investment models designed to accelerate partner innovation and revenue. The conference highlighted the shift from IaaS resell to agent orchestration services, the rise of verticalized agentic solutions, and the criticality of secure, policy-driven agent governance. AWS' message was clear: The multitrillion-dollar opportunity of the agentic era will be captured by those that build, distribute, and operationalize on the company's platform, leveraging new tools, funding, and ecosystem integrations to deliver measurable business outcomes."AWS re:Invent 2025 announcements make clear that the next wave of enterprise innovation will be won by those who harness its agentic stack, transforming AI from isolated projects into autonomous, scalable value engines across every industry." — Danielle Ibran, research analyst, Worldwide Infrastructure Channels and Latin America Ecosystems Programs

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.
