Discover what you can do with IBM Software and why it’s different than other software.

On a smarter planet, software is changing how we live. We can consume only what we need, when we need it. We can travel from point A to point B in the most efficient and convenient way. We can access information and expertise just as it’s needed. We can detect patterns to recognize and solve problems before they happen. Or seize new opportunities.

Behind each of these examples is a business, industry or government using software in new ways. It enables every facet of their operations. It’s a new model, and it comes with a new set of challenges and needs. Addressing those needs requires smarter software. Software that can help you do these new things.

See what IBM clients can do with smarter software.

They can increase resource efficiency and effectiveness. The General Department of Vietnam Customs used IBM Software to monitor applications in easy-to-use browser interface and customizable workspaces. Essentially, this solution helped the department automate their business processes, and reduce manual paperwork.

They can improve collaboration capabilities and daily operations. By engaging IBM Software, Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad integrated their disparate back-end systems to a single user interface. As a result, user collaboration and ease-of-use were enhanced across multiple offices.

They can help to gain practical, market-relevant skills and fill an industry shortage in software professionals with commercial-level training and experience. That’s how Institute of Technical Education (ITE) partnership with IBM enables students to gain experience in commercial IBM products. Students are also given the opportunity to be professionally certified by IBM.

They can connect and collaborate to accelerate productivity and improve decisions. Shikuko Electric Power (US) used IBM Software for messaging and collaboration to improve knowledge sharing. The solution provides critical information that enables faster recovery from emergency power outages and helps achieve greater cost efficiency of Shikuko’s infrastructure.

They can monitor and control assets to improve the efficiency of their infrastructures and resource management. That’s how Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (US) will use IBM Software to help manage more than 12,000 bus stops and train stations, 106 miles of track, 1,144 rail cars, 1,500 buses, 594 escalators and 275 elevators.

They can optimize and align IT and business processes to boost performance. Global re-insurer, Swiss Re (US) (PDF, 172KB) , uses IBM Software to consolidate 40 processes into one to sustain rapid growth. Now service changes that took days can be completed in just 10 minutes.

They can protect their assets and operations to enhance security, manage risk and meet compliance demands. Allied Irish Bank did just that with IBM Service Management Software that helps them stay ahead of security threats while lowering the cost of meeting legal and regulatory requirements.
