Description

Customer Data Platforms: Foundation for the Future of Customer Experience

This IDC Perspective analyzes the primary role of customer data platforms (CDPs) in delivering better customer-centered outcomes. The analysis is based on IDC's Future Enterprise Resiliency and Spending (FERS) Survey and other IDC research. Technology buyers can use this research to benchmark their CDP adoption and learn about new developments in the market. Technology vendors can use this research to advise their customers on the value of accelerating implementation of CDP technology to obtain significant business outcomes faster."CDP adoption has continued to increase in the past few years as global enterprise brands and other firms have found that unified customer profiles and other CDP technologies can deliver significant business outcomes and most importantly raise the bar on customer experience," said David Wallace, research director, Customer Data and Analytics at IDC. "In challenging economic times, brands must stay even closer to their customers' needs to preserve relationships and continue to grow revenue by delivering empathic experiences that create trust and loyalty. CDPs are the foundation on which to build a common set of customer orchestration operating services that cut across all customer-facing teams enabling them to work from a unified and constantly updated data repository."

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.
