IDC PeerScape: Practices to Outsource Business Process Services

This IDC PeerScape outlines key advice for IT and LOB decision makers who are considering outsourcing business process services."Outsourcing back- and front-office functions continues to shift away from pure labor arbitrage models to providing value beyond cost savings. Value today derives from service providers putting skin in the game with flexible commercial constructs, empowering co-ideation with clients and committing to business outcomes, like improving working capital or productivity savings through automation," says Ali Close, research manager, Intelligent Finance and Customer Care Business Process Services at IDC. "Service providers have made the investments in digital capabilities, innovation/labs, and design thinking to reimagine processes, but the appetite for change and transformation lies within internal organizations."

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.
