Description

Digital-First World: Sustainability, ESG, and Enterprise Applications

This IDC Perspective looks at the often-missed opportunity for software buyers to consider when investing in enterprise applications: tying their sustainability and ESG strategy to their enterprise application investment strategy. Organizations are using innovation to improve their business processes, reduce their time to decision, and improve overall business performance; however, most of the innovation isn't being tied to a major trend impacting businesses today — sustainability and ESG."Organizations are investing in modern, modular, and intelligent enterprise applications, but in most cases, they are missing tying their sustainability and ESG initiatives to the same investment," said Mickey North Rizza, group vice president, Enterprise Software. "Our IDC's 2022 SaaSPath Survey finds that organizations are investing in many application areas directly related to sustainability and ESG initiatives during the next 12 months. In particular, the applications of supply chain, finance, and ERP applications are at the top of this investment with some of the largest benefits of increased productivity, increased profitability, and decreased costs."

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.
