IDC's Global CIO Advisory Board: Enterprise Architecture in the Age of AI


This IDC Perspective summarizes IDC's Global CIO Advisory Board discussion on enterprise architecture management (EAM) in the age of AI everywhere. The speaker was the CIO of a leading chemical manufacturer in Germany.According to the aforementioned CIO, "Enterprise architecture builds a bridge between business process management and IT architecture. It helps to analyze the complexity of the infrastructure and map tools with the processes, allowing people owning the business functions to understand the redundancies in their system.""Enterprise architecture is essential for enhancing organizational efficiency, offering transparency in process performance, and aiding in system optimization. By offering a comprehensive view of the product life cycle, it facilitates strategic product road-map planning and application consolidation which results in a more efficient and cost-effective technology architecture." — Nupur Singh Andley, research manager, C-Suite Tech Agenda Program 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.
