Description

This IDC Perspective advises organizations on the new roles and organizational shifts necessary to operationalize AI. Organizations today are mired in business and technology transformation driven by AI. What separates organizations that are succeeding with AI from those that are not is how they structure their AI initiatives to deliver and scale AI proofs of concept."Today, a lot of companies start with technology and drive backward into the business processes they can impact," says Jonathan Lang, research director, Worldwide IT/OT Convergence Strategies at IDC. "What they need to be doing is starting with mapping and digitization of all business processes, regardless of the current or future role of technology in those processes. From there, they can bring the right tool for the job and optimize the end-to-end job to be done."

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.
