How Apple Is Finding Success by Targeting a Majority of IDC's Future Consumer Categories


This IDC Market Perspective assesses how Apple is finding success by targeting a majority of IDC's future consumer (FC) categories. IDC's future consumer research builds on the concept that to serve consumers well, you need a holistic view of their needs, not one seen through the lens of one technology, device, app, or service. IDC's Future Consumer Framework illustrates this through eight primary categories of a consumer's life: entertainment, money, shopping, personal mobility, travel and dining, lifelong learning, well-being, and the home. Perhaps no technology company has moved to serve customers across more of these categories than Apple."Apple has leveraged its substantial and growing hardware installed base to launch a range of services that target consumers that have already largely bought into the company's broader ecosystem," says Tom Mainelli, general vice president of IDC's Device and Consumer research. "While Apple is uniquely positioned to do this, with successful services in five of our eight FC categories, it is important that all consumer-centric tech companies think carefully about how they can potentially leverage existing relationships to serve consumers across more areas of their lives."

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.
