Description

IDC PlanScape: Generative AI Developer Technologies


This IDC PlanScape examines how end-user organizations can begin thinking about how to prepare for the adoption of generative AI developer technologies such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion. In particular, these reflections examine the kinds of questions business and technology leaders need to ask when thinking about how deepened adoption of generative AI developer tool will change the nature of software development and the developer experience. "While generative AI technologies are associated with a constellation of benefits for developers, organizations that are considering the adoption of generative developer tools would do well to understand how they affect the roles and responsibilities of developers," notes Arnal Dayaratna, research vice president, Software Development at IDC. "In addition, organizations should pay close attention to the potential of generative AI to democratize development to highly analytical end users that can generate high-quality outputs from AI-based models by means of natural language."

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.
