Description

This IDC study classifies Japan industries into 21 industry sectors, including 17 business categories and four non-business categories — central government, local governments, education, and consumers — and reports the actual (2024) and forecast (2025–2029) 3rd Platform spending in each sector. This study also analyzes the market across five company sizes and provides forecast data for the 3rd Platform spending by industry and company size.Ko Shikita, research manager of Verticals and Cross Technologies at IDC Japan, says that enterprise measures to minimize the impact of U.S. trade tariffs will provide an opportunity for IT suppliers to expand opportunities to provide various solutions that focus on strengthening supply chain resilience. He says, "IT suppliers should not simply act as 'system implementation support providers' for these solutions but rather provide them in a position to support their customers' decision-making as 'companions to business transformation.' This will broaden the range of proposals they can make in areas such as supply chain management and risk management, and they can expect to expand their business in the medium to long term as this is a key area of IT/digital spending."This is the English translation of the Japanese document IDC #JPJ52154725.

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.
