Description

Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability: Capabilities and Partner Solutions for Smart Facilities

This IDC Market Note will provide an overview of Microsoft’s new Sustainability for Cloud platform and will highlight the solutions and partnerships most relevant for driving sustainability in infrastructure and the built environment. The platform was launched in June 2021 in North America and Europe and brings together a suite of software-as-a-service tools and products to support organizations meet their environmental objectives. The built environment sector has been a slow mover in terms of technology adoption and environmental sustainability. IDC data demonstrates that a high percentage of AEC companies — 66% — remain at an early stage of maturity in their adoption of digital technology. However, several drivers, from technological innovation to fast-spend recovery funding and ESG targets, are fueling increasing digitization and innovation. Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability provides a series of tools to support this accelerated green and digital agenda.

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.
