IDC PlanScape: CPaaS to Optimize Marketing


In essence, businesses must be quick to respond to potential buyers and smart in how they address their target audiences and how they keep them as satisfied and loyal customers. This calls for technology that is also easy to implement and scale (especially in cases of seasonal requirements) as well as affordable. These are features that belong to cloud-enabled communication services and solutions, also referred to as CPaaS. This IDC PlanScape highlights that CPaaS is a customizable, scalable, and affordable technology, making it an attractive solution for marketing purposes ranging from promotions, news, new product rollouts, and other related business areas (sales, inventory, logistics, customer relations management, contact center, customer services, etc). It advises organizations on how to leverage CPaaS and what steps they need to take to deploy CPaaS to its full potential for marketing (and sales) executives and related customer-focusing departmental roles such as customer success management. The report also identifies a broad spectrum of stakeholders — IT departments, C-suite executives, other business roles, and (in-house/externally sourced) developers — all of whom play pivotal roles in influencing CPaaS investment decisions. "CPaaS is increasingly deployed by organizations of all sizes to improve their marketing activities and related customer-focusing processes, making engagement with prospects and existing customers smart and personal, which contributes to more interactions, conversions, business growth, and a brand that drives loyal customers," said Melissa Holtz-Fremeijer, senior research manager, IDC Europe Infrastructure and Communications.

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.
