IBM Systems and Technology in the Public Sector - Helping to drive the transformation of services through world class infrastructure solutions

The issues are well-known and global: A financial crisis, climate disruption., energy geopolitics, food supply hazards, security threats.

What they show is that we're all interconnected like never before: economically, socially and technically. When a crisis occurs on one part of the planet, it can bring problems to another part, within days or even hours. As an interconnected planet we have to infuse intelligence into our infrastructures, technologies and ways of working. So much of how the world works must become much smarter. But how much smarter?

Consider what's coming: hundreds of billions of smart things - sensors, cameras, cars, shipping containers, intelligent appliances, RFID tags by the hundreds of millions - all becoming interconnected. This will enable new, highly flexible ways of interacting with citizens, customers and employees from any device, anywhere, anytime.

The resulting volume of data also promises to provide insight and new intelligence for resolving some of our biggest problems, but only if we can process it and make sense of it in real time.

IBM Systems and Technology Group is committed to making a significant contribution to the delivery of world class public services via cost effective, flexible and secure IT infrastructure solutions for an interconnected smarter planet.
