Cities and regional governments face the dual challenges of providing improved services to citizens and businesses while reducing the burden on citizens. Cities must ensure tax revenue is collected fairly and consistently. In addition, cities must ensure that services are provided to citizens with the least disruption to their daily lives. In the austere economic times facing many cities today, it is also crucial for agencies to reduce their internal operation costs. IBM Intelligent City Planning and Operations on Cloud is designed to help cities reduce their costs by streamlining operations and planning processes. In addition, IBM Intelligent City Planning and Operations on Cloud helps cities identify sources of missed revenue as well as unnecessary costs that cities can reclaim to improve their income. With IBM Intelligent City Planning and Operations, city organizations can analyze data from multiple data sources in order to identify unlicensed businesses, which can help achieve the following benefits:
Whether a city is growing rapidly or struggling with budgetary restrictions, or both, IBM Intelligent City Planning and Operation on Cloud helps city governments optimize their business and citizen services. Back to top

IBM Intelligent City Planning and Operations on Cloud is designed to allow cities to visualize and review information concerning businesses from multiple data sources. This allows analysts to identify patterns that help identify businesses operating in the city without the proper licensing. In addition, once patterns are identified, they may be saved and reused in future searches. IBM Intelligent City Planning and Operations can then be configured to map the resulting incidences of improperly licensed businesses on a map of the city to assist investigators in identifying geo-spatial patterns of incidents allowing the city to prioritize resources needed to resolve the issues. The geo-spatial analysis also allows cities to properly target activities aimed at reducing improperly licensed businesses, such as advertising campaigns. Once a potential violation is identified, standard operating procedures selected by the city will coordinate the resolution to ensure fair, consistent, and complete investigation. Finally, executive status views will allow city managers to monitor performance of efforts to resolve unlicensed business violations. To support the analysis, data can be presented in a number of ways including:
This flexible data approach, which may require some configuration depending upon the data source, helps enable the investigations team to respond to the time-critical requirements of fraud, thereby, helping make investigations more efficient. The results of such investigations may guide the city as to which internal IT and operational controls can be tightened to help disrupt and potentially prevent future fraud attacks. Cities must provide expanding services to their citizens while reducing the burden they place on citizens in the form of taxes and process. IBM Intelligent City Planning and Operations helps cities to control costs and increase revenue by streamlining business operations, improving coordination across departments in the city, assisting with planning, and using business analytics to identify sources of missed revenue. IBM Intelligent City Planning and Operations is designed to help cities identify unlicensed business in order to claim license and tax revenue, and to ensure businesses have proper oversight. The following features support this:

IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered destroyed or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that systems and products are immune from the malicious or illegal conduct of any party. Back to top
