Description

This IDC Market Perspective discusses the network inventory landscape and a few profiles of vendors that offer network inventory solutions. Network inventory is undergoing an evolution as telecom operators modernize legacy systems to enable automation, AI-driven operations, and new monetization models. Investment in cloud-native, unified inventory platforms is accelerating to overcome data silos, support autonomous networks, and deliver improved operational efficiency. Leading vendors are advancing with agentic AI, digital twins, and open APIs, while telcos prioritize integration, data quality, and strategic partnerships to drive resilience, innovation, and differentiated connectivity in an increasingly complex ecosystem."In the drive toward autonomous networks, fragmented inventory data is a significant barrier to accelerating network automation, innovation, and dynamic network services. Telcos must ensure they have a clear strategy for transforming this foundational area of their business," Chris Silberberg, research manager, Telecom Operations and Monetization, IDC.

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.
