Description

Delivering Customer Value Through Ecosystem Innovation


This IDC Market Perspective emphasizes the importance of redefining customer value delivery through ecosystem innovation in the digital and AI-everywhere era. IDC's research highlights the urgency for companies to not only optimize internal processes, but also to reassess the coexistence of ecosystem components to support the scaling of digital products. The growing complexity of the partner ecosystem and the varied technology initiatives undertaken by end-user organizations across EMEA necessitate a multifaceted approach to customer engagement. IDC identifies three core considerations for the business ecosystem and its technology partners to enable and deliver enhanced customer value: customer-centric value, a 360-degree vision, and symbiotic relationships. These pillars emphasize the importance of starting and ending with the customer, disrupting oneself to add value, focusing on long-term engagements and business outcomes, and recognizing the value of diverse relationships within the ecosystem."True customer value transcends mere revenue generation — it demands a holistic approach that fosters long-term engagements and mutual success. In the digital ecosystem, understanding and responding to the diverse needs of end users while nurturing symbiotic relationships is key. Success lies in influencing — not dictating — customer behavior, and recognizing the collective impact of diverse relationships on the ecosystem," said Jennifer Thomson, AVP, IDC's European Research.

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.
