Description

An Examination of Merger and Acquisition Activity in the Business and IT Services Industry


This IDC Market Perspective provides an overview of M&A transactions within the services industry from 2019 to 2023. “While the shoes to fill are large, the pockets of services providers are quick to measure.” Greenfield expansions have been a time-tested means of navigating evolving business landscapes, providing proven capabilities to enhance solution portfolios and geographic reach. Trends within acquisition activity indicate the key capabilities sought by vendors and region-specific nuances on focus areas.“Services vendors have long addressed enterprise demand for technology services by acquiring companies for access to expertise, with recent activity dominated by building capabilities on the cloud,” said Sreenivas Duvvuri Venkata, research analyst, Enterprise Services, IDC. “Vendors will continue to remain nimble, understanding client needs across AI, analytics, and automation and leveraging macroeconomic tailwinds to drive a fresh wave of acquisitions.”

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.
