Generative AI and Operations: The Potential for Transformation, Top Use Cases, and Challenges to Consider


This IDC Perspective focuses on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and its potential impact for operations. Areas of focus include operational GenAI plans, the top applications/use cases of interest, most pressing concerns, and best practices that operational leaders should keep in mind as they explore GenAI. While the opportunity presented by GenAI (and AI as a whole) is significant for operations, it is important to understand what is real today versus in the future.“It is clear that most organizations recognize the importance artificial intelligence will play going forward with its effective use becoming a competitive differentiator or an inability to incorporate the technology serving as a death knell. This thinking has only accelerated with the rapid rise in popularity of public GenAI tools and its potential of creating compelling content quickly. Operations must consider the role that GenAI will play in delivering value immediately while supporting long-term transformation,” said Reid Paquin, research VP, Future of Operations at IDC Industry Operations 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.
