Description

IDC's CIO Advisory Board: Exploring the CIO-CFO Relationship


This IDC Perspective summarizes the discussion shared by IDC's Global CIO Advisory Board members on the CIO-CFO relationship. Data and insights from IDC's CEO Study and IDC's C-Suite Survey was shared by Tony Olvet, group vice president at IDC. Following that, we heard from our panelist Warren Hero, chief technology officer at Webber Wentzel, on how he worked with the new CFO at his organization to align strategic goals and transition to an agile financial planning process. "The CEO call for CIOs to step into a strategic mindset and focused business outcomes has been made clear. What's still missing is the call for the CFO and other C-suite roles to step beyond their functional silo and reflect on how they are working to make the business drive better outcomes, be more agile, or generate new revenue streams through technology. This evolution will bring them one step closer to becoming the digital dream team and meeting the leadership requirements of the current market." — Teodora Siman, research manager, C-Suite Tech Agenda at IDC.

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.
