Description

Guidelines to Master Technology Modernization


This IDC Perspective discusses the guidelines to master technology modernization. In a time of artificial intelligence (AI) disruption, legacy modernization is no longer work that can be done opportunistically or in an ad hoc way. Rather, every organization should approach modernization as a strategic and tactical imperative that is as important as any other aspect of the organization's technology road map. By making conscious decisions using a logical approach, organizations can pragmatically achieve their modernization goals."To successfully leverage generative AI (GenAI) and the other forms of AI, modernization of legacy systems and technologies is not optional. Many legacy environments are not capable of supporting the new technologies and needs and will not keep up with the accelerating pace of change," says Niel Nickolaisen, adjunct research advisor, IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP).

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.
