Description

Customer Life-Cycle Management in UC&C Is Growing in Importance

This IDC Market Perspective discusses UC life-cycle management and its growing importance to businesses. The process of selecting the right UC stack is more complex today. Digital communications have moved to the core to facilitate hybrid work and need to support a wider variety of use cases. Different organizations are at different stages of their digital transformation journeys, which means that their ability to embrace modern technology will be different. This makes UC life-cycle management key in the selection process as businesses need guidance in choosing the most suitable stack that meets their requirements and drives their long-term goals. "UC life-cycle management is not new, but it is becoming more important in the IT buying process. UC is no longer about IP PBX, IP phones, connectivity, and basic UC features. The UC stack now needs to support complex workflows through a myriad of sophisticated products and technological stack. Businesses need guidance from vendors to select the right stack," said Oru Mohiuddin, research manager, European Unified Communications and Collaboration.

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.
