Bridging the IT Infrastructure Skills Gap by Hiring Outside the Box

This IDC Perspective uses conclusions drawn from Data Center World 2022 and IDC's research to address the difficulties in hiring younger talent into IT infrastructure roles. The COVID-19 pandemic and the Great Resignation have led to IT skills and labor shortages at a time when many businesses are working to transform their digital infrastructure. Coupled with the tendency for computer science graduates to gravitate toward development roles rather than infrastructure, IT decision makers are incentivized to seek candidates in new places and hire and build up inexperienced workers."As the effects of the Great Resignation of 2021 linger, the lack of IT infrastructure talent threatens to stall digital transformation initiatives," says Johnny Yu, research manager, Storage and Computing, IDC. "Companies need to become comfortable seeking candidates outside of computer science graduates and with cultivating today's staff into tomorrow's leaders."

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.
