Description

This IDC Perspective discusses the emerging role of agentic AI in supply chain planning. While agentic AI has a long way to go, the promise of improving supply chain performance, process automation, and end-to-end optimization means this will be a rapidly growing field and, perhaps, a competitive advantage for some.Progress in the field is improving process automation and supply chain optimization, but is still only loosely understood and defined."Supply chains are looking to the supply chain tech vendors to clarify the agentic AI opportunity, define the cost and service model, and deliver significant value. Those who unlock process automation and insight optimization, may be at a competitive advantage." — Eric Thompson, research director, Worldwide Supply Chain Planning, IDC

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.
