• Building smarter products with Integrated Product Management (00:02:27)

  Smarter products. You hear them mentioned in trade journals, in boardrooms and in the press releases of your competitors. What are smarter products? How do you make them? And how do you make them better and faster than your competition? Most manufacturers now rely on a global network of design partners and suppliers to create highly sophisticated products, smarter product development is now increasingly complex. Companies require product and systems development capabilities that can balance the trade-offs between product features, quality, time to market and profitability. IBM calls its set of capabilities for building smarter products integrated product management (IPM). This short video shows how integrated solutions and services from IBM for demanding product engineering disciplines—including mechanical, electronic and software life-cycle management—addresses the unique needs of manufacturers.

• Modelling the business of government (00:05:27)

  How IBM and MISA are working to create Smarter Municipalities Across Canada
  Complexity is a fact of life for government entities. One of the core dimensions of complexity is simply the range of services offered, and the variation that siloed approaches have created. To create smarter cities and municipalities, agencies divisions must communicate and collaborate in ways that drive best practices around defining and delivering citizen-centric services with technology. In this video, you will hear from Roy Wiseman, CTO of the Canadian municipality of Peel, who along with other IT executives across Canada have been collaborating and capturing ideas on how to make government smarter through the development of a Municipal Reference Model. Roy will discuss how his team has worked with IBM Rational to make this model more actionable and accelerate the collaboration which is improving the business of government across Canadavovo
