The Six Pillars of Industry Cloud Selection for Healthcare


This IDC Perspective explains how healthcare organizations considering industry clouds should approach the evaluation and selection process. As a new, platform-based model for engagement with end customers and ecosystem partners, industry clouds must be assessed for both their technology and business fit for the healthcare organization while keeping in mind incumbent technology providers, value chain implications, and other related factors. IDC proposes six evaluation criteria or pillars that businesses can use to make an informed industry cloud selection and describes the rationale for each. "After covering it for over a decade, IDC has a deep understanding of the industry clouds market and its implications for healthcare organizations," says Lynne A. Dunbrack, group vice president, Public Sector. "Our six industry cloud pillars provide buyers with a comprehensive framework for evaluating the current offerings and making the right decision for their organization," adds Nadia Ballard, research manager, Industry Clouds and SaaS.

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.
