Description

This IDC Market Perspective highlights the infrastructure software trends of 2025. The 2025 infrastructure software landscape is set to be significantly influenced by advancements in AI capabilities, particularly in the realms of enterprise system management, AIOps, and observability. Key trends include the evolution of AI observability, the expansion of AIOps beyond noise reduction, the emergence of systems of agents, and the strategic importance of establishing trust with customers. Vendors are encouraged to focus on short-term, project-focused wins, consider their role within larger systems, and invest in sales teams capable of engaging with new AI-focused buyers.“AI capabilities are revolutionizing infrastructure software, driving changes and creating new opportunities. As AI observability and AIOps evolve, technology leaders must adapt to a multi-agent ecosystem, leveraging data for enhanced customer experiences and business transformations. The future of IT operations lies in strategic partnerships and innovative AI-driven solutions.” — Stephen Elliot, global vice president, I&O, Cloud Operations, and DevOps, 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.
