Description

Enterprise Insights for Optimizing Digital Infrastructure Ecosystem Partner Engagement

This IDC Perspective provides IT buyers with a framework for evaluating and optimizing engagements with digital infrastructure ecosystem partners. Digital infrastructure and public cloud ecosystem partners provide critical technical design, implementation, and operational services that enable many IT buyers to fully execute on mission-critical infrastructure modernization, migration, and innovation priorities. Digital infrastructure provides the core data management, connectivity, and analytic capabilities needed by every digital business. Yet delivery of these capabilities becomes more and more complex each day. For many IT buyers, the gap is increasing between in-house skills and the availability of expertise needed for today's modern environments. Ecosystem partners offer customers access to proven, tested best practices for the design, deployment, and operation of many digital infrastructure platforms and services. Partners proactively invest in automation, integration skills, vendor certifications, and training and product/service enablement innovations."Given the rate and pace of innovation spreading across many digital infrastructure ecosystems, it will be important for IT buyers to consciously review and consider modernizing partner engagement models in 2023," explains Mary Johnston Turner, research vice president, IDC's Future of Digital Infrastructure.

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.
