Every aspect of life is benefiting from the instrumentation, interconnection and the infusion of intelligence into the THIS SHIFT IS DRIVING DRAMATIC CHANGE IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. world’s systems. Cities are getting smarter by transforming every possible form of municipal infrastructure—traffic The way it’s accessed The way it’s applied The way it’s architected systems, water systems, public safety. Business processes Moving from attached work- Moving from core business Moving from heterogeneous are being transformed across every industry, from stations to individuals using applications focused on silos to integrated, flexible ubiquitous, mobile devices, productivity to the creation of infrastructures composed of banking to manufacturing to transportation.

This conundrum traps IT organizations in a vicious cycle in which a rigid infrastructure and lack of trusted data lead to reactive decision-making. Meanwhile, attempts to overcome these challenges Big Data through additional IT investments result in a more sprawling and Reactive costly infrastructure. Inflexibility of infrastructure limits integration across silos Always Guessing and responsiveness to In exible IT customer demands. Decisions are made on incomplete data, big ideas are seen as risky and small Incomplete, Vicious decisions aren’t optimized. Untrusted Data More Cost Cycle Every IT investment leads to more sprawl, which drives up infrastructure and management costs. Sprawling IT SMARTER COMPUTING: THE NEXT ERA OF IT 4

This new era is realized by designing IT as a system that incorporates Big Data for better decision making, Optimized Systems for superior economics and Cloud to reinvent business processes and drive innovation. Any enterprise can enter this new era by architecting an IT infrastructure that is designed for data, tuned to the task and Managed managed in the cloud. in the cloud Remove barriers to rapid delivery of new services and realize IT without boundaries Tuned to the task Cloud to reinvent business processes and drive innovation.
