Description

Mapping the Landscape of Emerging Enterprise Automation Platforms


This IDC Perspective analyzes the ways in which business automation technology vendors are growing their tool portfolios and shifting their positioning to promote broad automation platforms. It briefly profiles the positions of a selection of 12 vendors that have pursued a mix of internal development and corporate acquisitions to build out such platforms: Appian, Celonis, IBM, Jitterbit, Kofax, Microsoft, Pegasystems, Salesforce, SAP, ServiceNow, SS&C Blue Prism, and UiPath."As the business automation technology market matures, more and more vendors are shifting to position themselves as broad platform providers," said Neil Ward-Dutton, VP AI, Automation and Analytics Europe, IDC. "With nearly 60% of European organizations telling us they plan to consolidate automation vendor relationships and take more strategic approaches to automation, it is critical that organizations work carefully to partner with automation vendors that go further than simply offering broad toolkits."

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.
