Description

Charting the Journey from Point Control Towers to True Supply Chain Orchestration


This IDC Market Perspective highlights supply chains' maturity journey from linear-based management to end-to-end supply chain orchestration. This requires advancements in tools, capabilities, and organizational skills. Much like proprioception for biological systems or a symphony orchestra, supply chain orchestration will enable optimizing the whole while keeping all parties in harmony. Advancements in AI will further accelerate adoption of these technologies and methods. "With advancements in AI/ML — including generative AI — along with developments in supply chain orchestration, the capabilities companies will seek will be to truly orchestrate the full supply chain. Tools will develop, which integrate internal and external supply chains, identify exceptions, take routine response action (e.g., expedited logistics flows for late product), support human intervention, and enable end-to-end IBP and top-down strategic influence of all plans." — Eric Thompson, research director, Worldwide Supply Chain Planning, 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.
