Extend the value of goods and services • Lock/Unlock/Find your car • Tell me when the wash cycle is done Monetize through new business models • Ad-hoc car hire & sharing (e.g. Uber, Car2Go) • Pay-as-you-drive insurance Optimize by understanding behaviour and anticipating actions • Appliance manufacturer understanding customer behaviour • Improved product support & maintenance • Smarter Supply Chain Control and automate remote behaviour • Home automation / remote control • Energy Demand Management • Smarter Cities • Manufacturing Key areas • Automotive • Consumer products • Energy and Utilities • Government • Healthcare • Home Automation • Insurance • Manufacturing • Transport • Oil and Gas © 2014 IBM Corporation 6
- 7. The Internet of Things is an integrated fabric of devices, data, connections, processes and people The Internet of Things is based on a careful balance between both the Internet and the things within it—locally and globally, in the design lab and on the assembly line, whether in buildings, on roads, and in our very own pockets. I invent. I operate. IBM can help you design, operate and manage the things you deliver for optimized performance. We can help you mitigate warranty costs, minimize product recalls and gain new insight into customer use patterns that will empower entirely new levels of product and service innovation. IBM can help you bring things together from multiple vendors across heterogeneous environments, optimizing the whole to deliver greater than the sum of its parts. We deliver the insights that enable you to reduce utility costs, optimize compliance and exceed customer expectations. And offer exceptional levels of privacy and security. © 2014 IBM Corporation 7

- 22. What is Watson User Modeling? • Use linguistic analytics to extract personality and social traits, including Big 5, Values, and Needs, from the way that a person communicates. • Analyze any digital footprint that the user makes available, such as email, text messages, tweets, forum posts, and more. • Leverage cognitive and social characteristics with their corresponding percentile values as the basis for analyzing personality and social traits. • Can be used anywhere improving customer engagement for an organization differentiate itself and also drive personality-driven engagements (offers, recommendations etc.) © 2014 IBM Corporation 22
