IDC PlanScape: Digital Engineering to Improve IT and OT Collaboration


This IDC PlanScape discusses a set of practical considerations for developing a digital engineering organization. IT and operations have traditionally been isolated business units in industrial organizations. As technology capabilities advance rapidly, this has become a barrier for organizations attempting to realize value from these new capabilities. Now, organizations that seek to accelerate and fully capitalize on the opportunities that technology represents must develop new organizational structures for collaboration and skills sharing between these business units."One of the first questions I ask when an organization approaches me and tells me that they are struggling with scaling out technology capabilities is how IT and operations work together," says Jonathan Lang, research director for Worldwide IT/OT Convergence Strategies at IDC. "Invariably, while the industry likes to talk about technology solutions, what I find is that the strongest corollary to success is actually the way people in the organization across IT and OT relate to one another."

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.
