Description

As a Service Adoption Drives Change for Digital Infrastructure and FinOps Teams

This IDC Perspective covers the impact of the continued growth of SaaS and IaaS on IT operations and finance and the move toward digital business. IT automation is essential as enterprises report they are concerned about the high cost of cloud (IaaS) and are often unaware that SaaS spending is often higher. Tools to manage and optimize both are critical to the success of FinOps teams. However, FinOps is more than just a new tool. It encompasses a culture change of accountability, collaborations between business units and departments, and maturity toward cloud unit economics. The mindset and reinvestment in operations staff through training will move an organization forward. Only then can the promise of a successful digital business be realized."The growth of SaaS and IaaS shows no signs of slowing down, even in a year of tightening IT budgets," says Jevin Jensen, research vice president of Intelligent CloudOps Markets at IDC. "Enterprises need to refocus on IT cloud automation, invest in their staff training, and evaluate SaaS management platforms to deliver results for a digital business."

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.
