Description

The Future of Connectedness: Defined — Update

This IDC Perspective is a refresh of a 2020 anchor document that discusses the future of connectedness as defined by a global team of IDC's telecommunications, networking, and services analysts. In this document, we present a framework that discusses the concept of data in motion and its reliability on connectivity to drive business outcomes such as pervasive digital experiences, business continuity, scalable access anytime anywhere, and real-time insights. "Connectivity and data movement remain two of the top technology priorities for enterprises as they adapt to the hybrid work model. As data volumes increase, interactions become more digital, and data analysis becomes more essential, enterprises must assess how mature their network and connectivity strategies are," says Paul Hughes, research director and for IDC's future of connectedness agenda program. "The road map to becoming an agile connected enterprise is a complex one and will require a defined technology path that embraces a cloud-enabled and mobility-driven strategy that enables ubiquitous network access, keeps data in motion, and can deliver real-time insights."

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.
