Description

In a World of Automation and AI, People Are More Important, Not Less!


This IDC Perspective explores how industry trends in automation and AI affect workforce dynamics, highlighting the growing importance of human skills, leadership, and creativity in the future. Automation and AI are revolutionizing manufacturing by enhancing efficiency and innovation, yet human workers remain essential. As technology advances, workers must adapt through upskilling and collaboration with AI systems. The integration of AI-driven tools like predictive maintenance and digital twins is reshaping production while soft skills and leadership are increasingly vital. Manufacturers must focus on continuous learning, ethical AI deployment, and fostering a culture that values human contributions to ensure inclusive growth and success."In the age of AI and automation, the true competitive advantage lies in empowering human talent to drive innovation and strategic decision-making," says Sarah Lee, research director, Manufacturing, IT Strategies, and Priorities 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.
