Description

This IDC study provides the worldwide market forecast for document imaging scanners for the 2024–2028 period, with historical data for the 2019–2023 period."2023 was a turbulent year for the document imaging scanner market. Some geographic markets saw significant shipment declines and some segments saw significant growth. In 2023, we saw a resurgence from the previous supply chain challenges in markets such as North America and AP that offset declines in Western Europe and Latin America. We see many of the same demand drivers and market inhibitors, which is why the shipment forecast is fairly stable, but the impact of hybrid work patterns and artificial intelligence is still emerging. Overall, we see that manufacturers and distributors will need to aggressively promote single-function scanning solutions and that will have an impact on hardware revenue over the forecast period. Still the market is valued at $1.8 billion in 2023 and at $1.5 billion by the end of the forecast." — Tim Greene, research director in IDC's Hardcopy Solutions research group

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.
