Technology and Services Vendors: Guidance When Selling into the Office of the CFO

This IDC Perspective covers areas for the vendors to prepare for their sales discussions with the CFO and the office of the CFO. CFOs are pulled into more technology discussion not only for their team but for other areas of the business; therefore, there are more questions and areas that the CFO and their team will be asking about. Use these eight key areas to prepare for your discussions."CFOs are starting to be more heavily involved with the buying process of technology given their expanded responsibilities and transformation of their own office. It's important to address areas that the Office of the CFO will be asking about, as it can speed up the selling process," says Heather Herbst, research director, Worldwide Office of the CFO 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.
