Description

The Deep Automation Imperative: Architect Your Enterprise as an Automated, Self-Optimizing Organism


This IDC Perspective provides CIOs, senior IT and technology executives, and other enterprise executives an overview of the concept of deep automation, which involves taking enterprise automation to the next level through a holistic, adaptive, and evolutive approach. It points out that while current intelligent automation efforts have accelerated operations, deep automation adds a vertical dimension by combining technologies and processes to enable continuous adaptation and evolution. Deep automation emerges from the interactions of various elements, creating sophisticated and intelligent capabilities. It aims to make businesses self-adjusting like biological organisms, with automated, interconnected systems working harmoniously.However, implementing deep automation faces challenges such as enterprise readiness, lack of vision, process fragmentation, change resistance, skills gaps, data quality issues, technical debt, IT system complexity, regulatory compliance, and new security risks. A human-centered approach is crucial, with transparency about job impacts, human oversight of automated decisions, and easy collaboration between humans and machines."Deep automation takes a 'whole organism' approach — integrating technologies and processes enterprisewide to enable continuous learning and adaptation," says Serge Findling, adjunct research advisor, IT Executive Programs (IEP) at IDC. "Deep automation emerges when you combine simple components vertically into sophisticated capabilities — much like deep learning models."

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.
