Description

Worldwide SMB Forward-Looking Technology Capabilities

This IDC Market Perspective examines small and medium-sized businesses' (SMBs') understanding of and implementation plans for forward-looking technologies such as automation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and virtual and video appointments. These findings can help technology suppliers better understand the mindset of decision markers at SMBs and aid in communication, education, and selling efforts.According to Katie Evans, research director, Worldwide Small and Medium Businesses, "There's a massive disconnect when it comes to SMBs' priorities and SMBs' planned investments in technologies that can help them meet those priorities. This becomes especially clear when looking at small businesses, as they aren't investing in the forward-looking technologies on the market today to help boost their productivity and compete with their enterprise counterparts."

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.
