What’s next on a smarter planet?
A smarter planet is bringing about a new set of challenges. IBM Software can help you transform them into opportunities.
Explosion of data:
Over 1 trillion gigabytes of data exist in digital form. Enterprise data is growing by more than 50 percent a year. What if you could analyze the explosion of data in your organization to gain insight, anticipate events and predict trends? ConAgra Mills did this to negotiate the best deal on flour, achieving a 100 percent payback on their investment in three months.
A hyper-connected society:
Two hundred million tweets are sent every day. Over 75 percent of the world’s population uses mobile telephones. What if you could use connectivity and social tools to share expertise instantly anywhere in the world? Children’s Hospital of Boston did to change the way medicine is taught and how expertise is accessed, while helping save lives in the developing world.
Increasingly demanding consumers:
A hyper-connected society is creating a new generation of increasingly demanding consumers, sharing highly-trusted information and recommendations almost instantly. You can use the information they generate to gain a much deeper understanding of customers. Petco did and increased sales per unique web visitor by nearly 50 percent.
Each of these organizations has something in common. They’re using IBM Software.
