So What Do I Do with All This Visibility? From Seeing to Acting, and the Tool Gaps That Still Exist


This IDC Perspective highlights the importance of leveraging use cases to assess cross-functional visibility and gaps effectively. Companies have spent years and significant time and investment in visibility solutions. This has created an interesting opportunity and a pitfall to be avoided. Rather than taking existing solutions and seeking problems for them to solve, starting with specific use cases and process requirements will identify ways to mine value in existing visibility solutions, identify gaps in them, and position organizations for the end-state ideal of supply chain orchestration."Companies that focus on opportunities through a business lens will find they understand their solutions needs faster than companies that start with a solution and seek opportunities for the solution itself and will find their investments in visibility have untapped value as well as existing gaps." — Eric Thompson, director, Worldwide Supply Chain Planning at 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.
