Description

IDC PeerScape: Practices to Accelerate Adoption of Network Technologies Using Professional Services to Improve Connectedness

This IDC PeerScape focuses on three main areas of challenges and discusses the solutions to these challenges. These areas are accurate skills and operational assessment, inability to extract maximum value from networking investments, and limited and inconsistent training resources to drive successful adoption. "The pace at which new networking technologies and operating models are coming to enterprise networking has increased dramatically over the past decade," states Leslie Rosenberg, research vice president, Network Life-Cycle Services and Infrastructure Services at IDC. "Skills-deficient networking teams can barely keep up with the day-to-day operations of the network, let alone successfully implement and adopt new networking paradigms to remain competitive and drive innovation. Adoption services from a professional services partner ensures that enterprises can extract maximum value from their networking investments and drive the business forward."

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.
