Description

The Ecosystem of Connectedness: Cloud Economics and Complexity Necessitate Collaboration

This IDC Market Perspective looks at the how most enterprises see a fragmented technology supplier landscape to support their road map to connectedness and how a united and collaborative "connectedness ecosystem" of network, cloud, SI, and digital infrastructure landscape will solve that problem and drive faster, more profitable outcomes. Demand for wireless-led and cloud-driven connectivity have accelerated the digital transformation of the enterprise, forcing a transformation across the entire connectivity ecosystem. "The future of enterprise connectivity is no longer driven by the telco, as IDC data shows that just 21% of enterprises see the telco as their primary source of staying connected," noted Paul Hughes, research director for IDC's Future of Connectedness Agenda Program. "Enterprise connectedness requires building flexibility and openness into cloud-centric strategy that enables application access, ease of operation, and integration across networks, IT, clouds, and critical applications. No single supplier can truly deliver on the promise of keeping data in motion, thus highlighting the importance of collaborative road map across the connectedness ecosystem to ensure 5G, MEC, SDN, and cloud transformations produce demonstrable benefits."

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.
