A mandate for smarter work
The world has become highly instrumented, interconnected and intelligent: from our food and water, to our energy, homes and transportation, to our cities and governments and, of course,
our businesses and places of work.
The workplace may be smarter, but it is also more challenging because of increasingly
rapid and unpredictable change. Everything from swings in markets, to increasing global competition to new consumer expectations and more are changing at a furious pace.
To keep up, we work harder. But to win, we must work smarter.
Smart Work embraces, even takes advantage of, change by creating a more agile, collaborative and connected business environment. It can make your business more profitable and productive. While it makes the world a better place to live and work.
Early returns
Some organizations are showing the way:
Ubench International met rising competitive pressures in the auto leasing business through
a real-time sensing and automated workflow system that has reduced administrative costs by 35% and insurance adjustment costs by 50%.
Delaware County Bank and Trust Company drove superior customer service while saving time and money by connecting its people across locations and helping them access and share expertise whenever and wherever they need it.
Chinese retailer Yansha responded to changes brought about by deregulation in China and new, foreign competition with a collaborative, SOA-based supply chain solution that reduces order lead time from 2.5 days to 4.5 hours.
