Description

Building Digital Sovereignty into the Cloud Buyer Conversation


This IDC Market Perspective considers the shifts in cloud buyer conversations that vendors are likely to have around digital sovereignty. It draws upon data leveraged in IDC's quarterly Cloud Pulse Surveys which take the pulse of cloud buyers across Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and more recently Latin America. "Cloud and service providers now, more than ever, need to be prepared to have conversations around digital sovereignty — even if have not released products and services designed to solve digital sovereignty challenges. Businesses are increasingly concerned about how to protect not only their data but also their assets and how to keep organizations running during times of geopolitical challenges. This makes sovereignty not only a compliance requirement but also — for many — an emotive business response," says Penny Madsen, senior research director, Cloud and Edge Services 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.
