Blue Yonder ICON: Engineering-Centric Strategy with Unified Supply Chain Vision


This IDC Perspective details key takeaways from Blue Yonder's ICON. Blue Yonder, at its ICON 2024 conference, showcased significant progress toward its vision of a unified, real-time supply chain network, emphasizing an engineering-centric approach and the integration of AI across ecosystems. With a $1 billion investment from Panasonic, the company has made strides in eliminating data silos, harnessing AI, and expanding through strategic acquisitions, aiming to optimize supply chain operations and customer experiences. IDC views these steps as pivotal for Blue Yonder's growth and the broader supply chain solutions market."Recognizing the challenges of integrating acquisitions and continuing to innovate in the fast-paced AI landscape, we think Blue Yonder's engineering-led philosophy, focus on AI, and strategic acquisitions position the company well to deliver on its vision of a unified supply chain network," said Jordan K. Speer, research director, Retail Insights, IDC. "Certainly the success of these initiatives will depend on Blue Yonder's ability to navigate competitive pressures and rapidly evolving industry demands."

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.
