Description

This IDC study summarizes the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the Japan public cloud services market based on information collected by the end of January 2025.Public cloud services have become widespread in the Japan market, and their uses are expanding from improving IT/operational efficiency to realizing digital business. In this context, generative AI (GenAI) has emerged and is accelerating this trend. In addition, almost all vendors are focusing on developing and providing products and services related to GenAI and expanding the ecosystem, which not only intensifies competition among vendors but also complicates collaboration. "Vendors should support user companies in transforming their business operations while also strengthening their approach to early adopters and revitalizing communities in order to demonstrate competitive advantage in the era of AI Everywhere," says Satoshi Matsumoto, research director, Software and Services, IDC Japan.This is the English translation of the Japanese document IDC #JPJ52152425.

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.
