Description

Future of Work: Strategies for the Flexible Work Experience

This IDC Perspective reviews the challenges that organizations face as they transition to a hybrid/flexible work experience. It also presents a framework for addressing those challenges, which assesses how organizations accelerate and expand digital transformation (DX) initiatives. The technical work enhancements that enable hybrid work are innately connected to organizational policies and practices that need equal investment for digital transformation to be successful. Leaders have come to terms with the importance of empowering workers by providing them with flexible physical workplaces, intelligent digital workspaces, and agile and adaptive learning systems. "Investing in flexible work experiences have been a boon for both employers and employees. And now that companies have built the framework and experienced enhanced employee productivity, cost, and time savings, there's no going back but just moving forward," says Anu Mehta, senior research analyst, Future of Work at IDC. "Organizations need to trust employees to accomplish work while working in a flexible manner."

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.
