Description

CIO Development of an Impactful Sustainability Strategy


This IDC Perspective provides insights and methods for defining what the organizational strategy will be. Social and regulatory forces are converging in ways that support organizations of every sector to revisit strategies and focus investment on having some level of sustainability impact. The reason for being can have an underlying altruistic vision, but in the end, the investments must also demonstrate measured and reported stakeholder value and customer impact to be successful. By gradually building the organization's sustainability maturity, the CIO is uniquely positioned to enable new, innovative, and fiscally responsible strategies for sustainability."There is no sustainability initiative that is too small," says Alizabeth Calder, adjunct research advisor for IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP). "If every organization makes a commitment to specific and measurable impacts in specific lanes that are logical for their business vision and goals, the aggregate impact for the world as a whole will be significant. We don't need to aspire to be the World Health Organization, but working to an established program and level of maturity gives the organization a clear and valuable profile in its ecosystem and as a participant in the global community."

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.
