The Future of Internet of Things, Part 2: Beyond Endpoints and Connectivity to Ecosystems and Intelligence

In this IDC Market Perspective, Internet of Things (IoT) is moving rapidly in relevance away from the initial phase of excitement and hype built around the emergence of new endpoints and connectivity back to the network. More so, value is shifting away from mere hardware, radios, and connectivity aspects to other areas in the value chain. The biggest area of value add today is in the field of IoT platforms, including both connectivity and management platforms that typically sit close to the endpoints deployed within an enterprise. Another area is analytics platforms that can sit either on the enterprise premise or deeper in the network, possibly even in the public cloud. "IoT platforms need to be interoperable across the value chain because enterprises may mix and match platforms at an enterprise level or have different business units deploy different platforms for specific use cases and applications," says Shiv Putcha, contributing analyst, IDC Asia/Pacific. "No one platform or one vendor will be able to offer end-to-end solutions," he adds.

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.
