Description

Retail Applications of Cryptocurrency

This IDC Perspective discusses the current consumer-level cryptocurrency market, examining what is driving the increasing use of cryptocurrencies in retail point-of-sale payments as well as how consumers are beginning to learn of the advantages cryptocurrencies offer. Retailers, and the solution providers that cater to them, must be aware of the rapidly accelerating changes taking place in the perception, and adoption, of cryptocurrencies.""While cryptocurrency has not been adopted by the mainstream (yet), there are strong currents that are stirring up at greatly increased interest,"" says Phillip Silitschanu, research director, Worldwide Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, and NFT Strategies at IDC. ""The burgeoning realization of the promise of cryptocurrency by ordinary consumers bode well for the quickening pace of adoption of cryptocurrency as a mainstream solution; the multitude of recent announcements by large corporations of their strategic — and financial — commitments to cryptocurrency as a legitimate channel to accept consumer payments signals a tipping point. Already, 51% of cryptocurrency holders state that they are ''more likely to purchase from a [retailer] that takes cryptocurrency.''""

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.
