Digital Platform and Ecosystem Strategies: Importance Among Manufacturers' Top 5 Strategic Business Priorities

This IDC Market Perspective highlights the importance of manufacturers' closer collaboration and integration with their customers, suppliers, and channel partners to execute on their top strategic business priorities, such as product and service innovation, sustainability, supply chain transformation, smart factory operations, and customer experience. This IDC Market Perspective leverages survey results from IDC's Manufacturing Insights Survey, published in November 2021, that involved 430+ manufacturers in Europe. The survey results are also complemented with market insights from numerous conversations and briefings with stakeholders in the European manufacturing industry."Executing on strategic business priorities will increasingly involve closer collaboration and integration with suppliers, customers, and channel partners. To help manufacturers execute on their business priorities, tech providers should enable their salesforce to not only understand the potential of technologies to address their customers business challenges, but also to understand the industry-specific business challenges and the ecosystems in which they operate," said Stefanie Naujoks, research director, IDC Manufacturing Insights.

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.
