Description

This IDC Perspective discusses retail banking that is rapidly evolving, with AI-powered personalization becoming essential for customer engagement and growth. However, fragmented identity systems create friction, weaken security, and limit AI's ability to deliver seamless and compliant experiences. Customers expect secure, intuitive interactions, but outdated authentication processes lead to frustration and inefficiencies. Banks need a unified identity that consolidates identity data, enabling AI-driven automation, personalized insights, and improved fraud prevention. Banks that prioritize identity modernization will enhance engagement, streamline operations, and ensure regulatory compliance, while those that delay risk falling behind in an AI-driven future."Outdated identity systems don't just create security risks — they also limit a bank's ability to scale AI-driven services and drive sustainable growth. Without a unified identity framework, fraud prevention becomes overly rigid, compliance efforts remain reactive, and seamless customer interactions are impossible. Banks that modernize identity management will not only enhance security and compliance but also unlock new growth opportunities by enabling AI-powered automation and personalized engagement at scale." — Sam Abadir, research director, Risk, Financial Crime, and Compliance, IDC"Customer identity is the foundation of growth in AI-powered banking. Banks that fail to streamline authentication and unify identity data risk losing customers to competitors that offer frictionless, personalized experiences. A modern identity framework ensures seamless interactions, builds trust, and allows AI to deliver real-time insights and tailored financial services, ultimately driving deeper customer relationships and lifetime value." — Marc DeCastro, research director, Consumer Banking Engagement, 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.
