Description

Artificial Intelligence in Retail: The Way of the Future

This IDC Perspective reviews the findings of IDC’s 2021 Worldwide Industry AI Path Survey specifically for artificial intelligence (AI) as a transformational technology in the global retail industry. AI systems support intelligent digital infrastructure transformation to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve interactions in current and new channels with a more personalized approach from learnings and insights gathered. To meet customer demands and thrive in this new era, retailers have been investing heavily in digital transformations, especially in the area of AI. Data-driven innovation with far greater personalization and automation is a strategic imperative for companies to thrive and grow in this new digital economy.“While customer data analytics and AI are becoming critical components of retailers’ business strategy, the speed of AI adoption among retailers is raising some concerns. AI is undoubtedly the way that retailers can thrive in the future, especially for those retailers that are agile enough to optimize AI capabilities enterprisewide sooner than later,” says Karen Augustine, research manager, Financial and Retail Insights at IDC.

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.
