Buyer Case Study: Sharp Plays Critical Role in Building Smart Learning Environment, Nurturing Pool of Future IT Resources

This IDC Perspective discusses how a relationship with a group of colleges led to a comprehensive services engagement for Sharp due to its close portfolio alignment with the needs of the education sector, the ability to leverage its IT services capabilities to provide ongoing support and guidance, and success in forging a true partnership rather than a buyer-supplier relationship based around standalone procurement events. In addition, it highlights how Sharp encouraged IT skills development at the college — a proactive measure in tackling the shortage of relevant skills for effective and accelerated technology adoption."Technology helps drive the creation of smart environments for effective studying and working. Service providers are offering a wider variety of hardware, software, and services. However, companies need to work with service partners that understand your business, offering guidance and commitment to continuous business improvement based on measurable outcomes," said Jacqui Hendriks, associate research director, IDC European Print Vendor Transformation Strategies.

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.
