Description

The Digitally Diversified Partner: Six Transformation Strategies

This IDC Market Perspective examines several transformation strategies for vendors to encourage their partner communities to adopt in order to become "digitally diversified." Digital diversification means adopting a series of business and transformation strategies for partners to pivot with data insights from vendors and customers, utilizing this to maximize market opportunities, support the existing client base more effectively and deliver increased returns, and leverage current and future investments. According to Nigel Parsons, research director, Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) Partnering Ecosystems, "Vendors are constantly seeking ways to help their partner communities transform. IDC has a long legacy of partner transformation that provides metrics and benchmarks against best practices throughout the region. Digital diversification is the latest and most up-to-date series of steps that IDC recommends partners in the Asia/Pacific region to adopt."

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.
