Adobe's Acquisition of Figma Positions the Company to Innovate in the Space of Collaborative Design and Developer Tools

This IDC Market Note discusses Adobe's recent acquisition of Figma for $20 billion."Adobe's acquisition of Figma positions the company to richly leverage Figma's collaboration functionality that empowers a multitude of designers and developers to work in parallel. This ability for a multitude of developers and designers to collaborate in real time via Figma's web-based platform has the potential to enable Adobe to extend these collaboration capabilities to its other products and services, thereby rendering development a "multiplayer" sport as opposed to a single-player activity," noted Arnal Dayaratna, research vice president, Software Development, IDC. "As such, the acquisition positions Adobe to lead with respect to development of cutting-edge, collaborative experiences for developers in ways that expand its total addressable market of products and services, as opposed to merely strengthening its existing product portfolio."

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.
