Description

Japan Enterprises' IT Governance Challenges in Their Group Management, 2024


This IDC Perspective describes the state of "IT governance" that supports the progression of digital business (DB) and digital transformation (DX) among Japanese companies (tech buyers = end-user companies) that have multiple bases, branches, affiliates, and group companies both domestically and globally. In this document, "IT governance" is defined not simply as a management task, but as "activities ranging from planning to evaluation/improvement in the strategy, investment, environment implementation, human resources, security, and so forth, of IT/DX in corporate operations". In addition, we limited the target areas of IT governance to the following five areas and conducted questionnaire surveys and interviews (with two companies): (1) IT/DX strategy planning and progression, (2) IT investment planning and evaluation, (3) IT environment installation/implementation/development/maintenance/operation, (4) data utilization and management, and (5) information security assurance and improvement.As a result, although it is still insufficient, about half of the Japanese companies with multiple group companies recognize the need for IT governance in each of the five areas and are making progress in addressing this issue. However, while attempting to further develop digital business by leveraging the synergistic effects of having group companies, it is necessary to simultaneously advance IT governance to support this.To achieve this, says Go Suzuki, research manager at Tech Buyer, IDC Japan, recommends that "digital business progression, digitalization/systemization, and IT governance must be pursued together, and IT governance must be achieved through the company's comprehensive strengths".This is the English translation of the Japanese document 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.
