Description

How They Are Used: A Look Across DBMSs

This IDC Perspective examines the range of database usages, and their corresponding database models, providing detailed examination of both, together with example vendors and products. It offers insight into the process of selecting DBMSs based on purpose, deployment, and operational combinations and provides guidance meant to engage all relevant stakeholders in the process."There is such a wide variety of database management systems available, based on a range of data management technologies, it is difficult to choose the right one for a given project and, even more challenging, to choose one that may anchor a range of different applications," says Carl Olofson, research vice president for Data Management Software research at IDC. "Careful consideration at the earliest stages can result in savings of money and time and can avoid frustration. There is no one-size-fits-all solution here."

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.
