IDC PlanScape: Deploying Sovereign Cloud


This IDC PlanScape discusses how organizations can implement digital sovereignty solutions, specifically sovereign cloud solutions. It highlights the challenges organizations will need to overcome and offers IT leaders and business executives step-by-step guidance on how to implement and operate a sovereign cloud. "The need for regulatory compliance has traditionally been the main reason for organizations to seek sovereign solutions. But recent years have seen a paradigm shift, as the need to enhance cybersecurity and expanding cloud usage are now considered to be among the top drivers for deploying a sovereign cloud." — Research Director for European Cloud Strategies and Lead Analyst for Worldwide Digital Sovereignty Rahiel Nasir, 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.
