Description

IDC PlanScape: Generative AI in Higher Education


This IDC PlanScape serves as a strategic guide for higher education IT leaders and discusses the importance and implications of GenAI for institutions around the world. The document provides key details to help higher education IT leaders understand what GenAI is, what solutions are available in the market, and the challenges and opportunities the technology introduces for the industry. It further outlines the key stakeholders involved in GenAI deployment and provides advice for higher education leaders to help them get started on their GenAI journeys."While nearly all industries are feeling the impact of GenAI, perhaps no industry has felt that impact more dramatically than higher education. GenAI has simultaneously captured the attention, imagination, and grave concern of higher education technology and institutional leaders across the world. While it is still very early days for this emerging and rapidly evolving technology, it is critical for higher education institutions to embrace GenAI to truly understand its implications and adapt with it," said Matthew Leger, senior research manager for IDC's Worldwide Education Digital Strategies research program.

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.
