Description

Top Enterprise Connectivity Investments to Accelerate Operational Efficiency


This IDC Perspective analyzes data from IDC's June 2023 Future of Connectedness Survey and Wave 8 of IDC's recurring Future Enterprise Resiliency and Spending Survey, looking at top operational metrics enterprises use to assess performance from connectivity initiatives and the strategic investments that help ensure those metrics are met. Evolving digital business demands put increased pressure on enterprise networking and IT staff to manage change, especially as businesses look to avoid future technology silos caused by disparate networks and multicloud environments. These dynamics are driving enterprises to focus connectivity investments on technologies that help drive measurable business outcomes."The road map to the agile connected enterprise (R.A.C.E.) has become a journey of network transformation, reducing legacy technology bottlenecks, addressing scale and resiliency with long-term economics in mind, and ensuring secure data movement," noted Paul Hughes, research director, Future of Connectedness at IDC. "Enterprises are making investments in connectivity that are aligned to operational metrics, driving growth in key services and solution areas that ensure quantifiable improvement in those metrics."

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.
