Top Criteria for Application Modernization Service Provider Selection


This IDC Perspective provides feedback from Fortune 2000 organizations on the top criteria they utilized to select partners for their application modernization initiatives. IDC conducted two dozen interviews by phone and the web with varying enterprises and government entities across the world. Through the interviews, IDC sought to gain insight into how the organizations approached application modernization and what criteria they used to help them navigate service provider selection. The interviews spanned 13 industries — energy and utilities, high tech, restaurant, professional services, construction, food and beverage, aerospace, consumer products, financial services, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and government — across seven countries including the United States, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, France, and Brazil."Modernizing applications have grown to be a major enterprise initiative, and organizations are hard at work transforming their applications portfolios to build business agility and achieve digital transformation and business objectives. Many early adopters of application modernization services have achieved business benefits from their modernized applications, and those successes have sparked other enterprises to make application modernization a higher priority within their business transformation imperatives." — says Pete Marston, research director, IDC's Intelligent Application Services

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.
