Description

Leveraging Channel Partner Talent to Address Broader SMB Requirements


This IDC Market Perspective examines European SMB end-user feedback on the importance of a broader spectrum of business offerings from their print services providers and outlines the actual adoption of these offerings. It addresses how print vendors can support channel partners in addressing new customer requirements."Print vendors have made grandiose plans to build extended services capabilities, particularly IT services. But in the short term, there is a strong opportunity to respond directly to existing customers' requirement for broader business offerings, as highlighted by IDC's 2024 European Print, Imaging, and Document Solutions Survey," said Jacqui Hendriks, associate research director, European Print Vendor Transformation Strategies. "The competitive landscape is changing, with signs that European print services customers in the SMB market are already engaged with providers that offer solutions for a variety of business needs. Print vendors need to ensure they have channel partner networks ready to take on the challenges and benefits from the SMB market opportunity."

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.
