- 3. People consume only what they need, when they need it. A leading international energy provider is launching an automated energy management system that enables more than 300 industrial customers, 900 service providers and 11,000 households to better control their energy usage. Users will be able to establish consumption protocols to minimize electricity use in peak periods and to take full advantage of renewable energy resources when available. 3 © 2010 IBM Corporation
- 4. They know the best way from A to B. The Singapore Land Transportation Authority is improving one of the most modern, affordable and heavily used public transport networks in the world, by adding an integrated payment option that can be used for the bus or the train, plus parking and vehicle congestion charges. In the background, the system studies the usage data to help design new schedules and routes that will further reduce congestion. 4 © 2010 IBM Corporation
- 5. They access the best and brightest, from anywhere. A medical imaging systems designer develops technology that enables medical professionals to view medical images—such as X rays, computed tomography scans and MRIs—via wired and mobile devices, including laptops, smart phones and Web-enabled PDAs, which allows doctors who are not physically on site to lend their expertise and provide medical assistance – a breakthrough for the medical profession. 5 © 2010 IBM Corporation
- 6. They see hidden patterns. A major health insurance company is creating a first-of-its-kind healthcare data aggregation, covering 79 million enrolees, to provide information on how people receive treatment for everything from a sore foot to an ailing heart. This yields insights that empower companies to develop employee healthcare plans which provide the highest-quality care at the best value. 6 © 2010 IBM Corporation
