Description

The Collaborative Imperative at the Core of IT/OT Convergence Success


This IDC Perspective explores the correlation between IT and OT collaboration and the successful scale out and value recognition of digital initiatives. Today, being a digital-first business is a prerequisite to competition. For enterprises, this has meant the widespread deployment of IT to capture and exchange information that drives faster and more informed business processes. Traditionally, IT has been chartered with driving transformation of back-office functions and operational technology (OT) being deployed into factory settings that were largely initiated and supported by these teams. Now, significant OT and the data it generates must be incorporated into modern digital transformation (DX) initiatives.In this research, the foundational elements of IT/OT convergence are investigated through real-life case studies from industrial organizations to provide key insights and best practices for organizations on their digital journeys. "The criticality of the organizational and collaborative component of these transformation initiatives cannot be understated," says Jonathan Lang, Research Director, IDC Operations Insights. "Every company I have talked to that has crossed the chasm has a deeply collaborative approach, and this research provides guidance on how to integrate all of the big picture initiatives that companies are pursuing through this collaboration," he adds.

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.
