Description

State of the State — Generative AI in UC&C Can Be Massively Impactful If Done Right


This IDC Market Perspective discusses how generative AI (GenAI) is expected to disrupt the future of unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) and what the ecosystem players should consider as they look at the competition and opportunities that stem from AI in UC&C. "Currently, GenAI technology is still in its infancy, which means there is a lot of buzz around it, but we are yet to witness in practice its complete potential as well all of its drawbacks. However, the unique capabilities it is capable of driving in UC&C use cases, as demonstrated by industry players, point to the need for a thoughtful plan by all UC&C ecosystem players," said Jitesh Gera, research manager, Unified Communications and Collaboration at IDC. "AI in UC&C is neither something to rush into nor something that UC&C providers should avoid. The benefits to the communications and collaboration experience for employees and customers are too great in the long run."

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.
