  2. Introducing Smart Planet … “Every human being, company, organization, city, nation, natural system, and man-made system is becoming interconnected, instrumented, and intelligent.This is leading to new savings and efficiency—but perhaps as important, new possibilities for progress The world is flatter. The world is smaller. The world is about to get smarter. Because it can. Because it must. Because we want it to.

  3. The vision in detail… Smart Planet Smartis a vision of how the world works — how every person, business, organization, government, natural system, and man-made system interacts. Each interaction represents a chance to do something better, more efficiently, more productively. But more than that, as the systems of the planet become smart, we have a chance to open up meaningful new possibilities for progress.

  4. Industry Solutions are a Reflection of IBM’s Expertise on how to develop smarter solutions • Marketplace Drivers: • Customers are looking for their business commitments to be met at market speed, or better • Managing project costs into bite-sized bits is now a requirement • Customers want to utilize the technology that best supports their strategy, independent of vendor • Our Strategy: • Combine industry assets and best practices into offerings focused on core and connected business problems • Design for re-use • Incubate an ecosystem of industry ISVs, pre-integrate • Be prescriptive about a platform, emphasize best practices, better utilize our industry expertise

  5. The IBM INDUSTRY Solution Frameworks are the strategic platforms for Solutions Smarter Govt Industrial Comms Banking The Industry Solution Customer Blueprint once it is implemented across the enterprise enables the realization of the expected business benefits.
