Guiding Principles for Smart and Sustainable Islands

This IDC Perspective outlines guiding principles for island leaders, national governments, and regional bodies that want position islands as innovators and demonstrators of smart and sustainable solutions. Smart and sustainable islands harness digital technologies and data to drive better social, environmental, and economic outcomes for citizens, businesses, and visitors. "Islands can be viewed as large-scale demonstrators of the benefits of leveraging digital technology to showcase what is possible for economic development, environmental sustainability, and social cohesion. Island leaders who want to take advantage of this opportunity must ensure they have the right organizational structure, skills, and foundational technologies in place to create a fertile environment for innovation," said Louisa Barker, research manager, IDC Government Insights Europe.

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.
