Data analysis and information used to be a river, flowing in one predictable direction with a visible source. No more.
Today, it's a roiling ocean of data, constantly expanding its shores. Experts predict that in just four years from now, the amount of digital information in the world will double every 11 hours. It can be a daunting task for any enterprise to sift through and analyse massive amounts of data, extract information and transform it into actionable knowledge. But action without analysis is just guessing.
The globally integrated enterprise needs something more powerful. Today's information management and data analysis tools offer situational awareness and predictive abilities. This "new intelligence" combines human cognition with computational power, shifting the agenda from "sense and respond" to situational awareness and something very much like prediction.
New intelligence gives you more than a window into your current operations. It provides a likely view of what is just around the corner and even further down the road. Analytics and reporting tools slice and dice data, crystallising trends, patterns and anomalies that yield invaluable business insights to help you drive smarter decision-making.
Smarter Intelligence
Fifteen petabytes of data are created everyday. What if we could turn all of that data, videos, pictures, text, blogs, market movements and transactions into smarter information for better decisions?
Watch the video to find how we can.
Keeping drugs and vaccines fresh
Together with IBM and its partner Infratab, DHL (US), a unit of Deutsche Post World Net, developed an advanced temperature tracking solution that combines sophisticated sensing and RFID technology to enable realtime monitoring of temperature-sensitive shipments while in transit.
Monitoring and forecasting changes in our waterways
The Beacon Institute (US) and IBM have created the first technology-based monitoring and forecasting network for a major American river and estuary. The River and Estuary Observatory Network (REON) will allow for minute-to-minute monitoring of New York's Hudson River via technology distributed throughout the 315-mile river.
Predicting changes in the tiniest patients
IBM's breakthrough "stream computing" software helps doctors at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (US) detect subtle changes in the condition of critically ill premature babies.
Stream computing automates market decision-making
