Description

This IDC PeerScape explores the impact of GenAI and other AI solutions on the PPM discipline from two angles:Preparing PPM structures and methodologies for AI: AI projects are different from traditional software projects; it is critical that PPM project structures and methodologies are defined and adapted to accommodate the new dynamics of AI projects within the organization.Applying AI to the project management office (PMO): AI solutions can be applied directly to the PPM function itself; how can AI solutions be best applied now and in the future to help optimize PPM performance?"The opportunities to exploit AI to help optimize the PMO are massive. Not only will AI projects be more successful, but the PMO itself can deliver improved performance and best practices," says Bob Multhaup, adjunct research advisor with 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.
