Description

Vodafone's Approach to GenAI


This IDC Market Note examines Vodafone's strategic approach to leveraging GenAI, which focuses on enhancing operational efficiency, and customer experience. The company emphasizes ethical AI deployment, customer-centric solutions, and partnerships with solution providers for scalable and secure GenAI applications. Vodafone's plans include scaling AI applications and investing in partnerships (e.g., the $1.5 billion deal with Microsoft) to develop frameworks, governance, and risk structures to capitalize on GenAI momentum, aiming to bridge the trust gap and improve service offerings."Vodafone has made itself clear in its decision not to invest in GenAI hardware due to limited supply and extremely high costs, highlighting that investing today might incur higher costs than investing in the future with a diversified supply chain," said Matias Cho, research analyst, IDC's EMEA Telecoms. "Vodafone has a clear road map for navigating GenAI, but its approach is not particularly unique. To stand out from competitors, it must develop distinctive strategies and applications that differentiate it not only from other telcos, but also from other players in the market," said Masarra Mohamed, senior research analyst, IDC's European 5G Enterprise Strategies.

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.
