The time has come for new expert integrated systems - systems with integrated expertise and built for cloud, big data & analytics.
< make sure to setup what integrated systems are here for reps who have never heard the PureSystems story before >
The new IBM PureSystems family uniquely delivers on the value proposition of expert integrated systems. They combine the flexibility of a general purpose system, the elasticity of cloud and the simplicity of an appliance tuned to the workload.
They fundamentally improve the experience and economics of IT by simplifying the entire IT project lifecycle to reduce time, cost and risk.
What separates PureSystems from other approaches in the industry is delivery of three truly unique attributes:
Built-in Expertise - Capturing and automating what experts do: Think of PureSystems as representing the collective knowledge of thousands of deployments, established best practices, innovative thinking, IT industry leadership, and the distilled expertise of business partners and solution providers. Captured into the system in a deployable form from the base system infrastructure through the application.
Integration by Design - Deeply integrating and tuning hardware and software: All the hardware and software components are deeply integrated and tuned in the lab and packaged in the factory into a single ready-to-go system that is optimized for the workloads it will be running. All of the integration is done for you, by experts.
Simplified Experience - Making every part of the IT lifecycle easier: The entire experience is much simpler – from the moment you start designing what you need to the time you purchase – to setting up the system – to operating, maintaining and upgrading it over time. Management of the entire system of physical and virtual resources is integrated. And all this is done in an open manner enabling participation by a broad ecosystem of partners to bring their industry optimized solutions to bear.

Walgreens
Client Name: Walgreens
Solution Components: IBM PureApplication System,* IBM Business Process Manager, IBM Operational Decision Manager
*As of May, 2014 Walgreen’s had 6 IBM PureApplication Systems deployed
CRDB Entry: <TBD>
Pull Quote:
“When our pharmacists are in front of our customers, we see better outcomes and happier customers. The IBM solution helps us maximize that interaction time.”
– Jason Stott, Director of IT, Walgreens
Client:
The Walgreen Company is the largest drug retailing chain in the United States. As of January 31, 2014, the company operated 8,678 stores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam. It was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1901.
Business Need:
Given the company’s large volume and scale, Walgreens wanted to optimize its pharmacists’ workloads to ensure customer satisfaction even as daily workloads continued to grow. The company needed to ensure scripts were filled efficiently at the time the customer needed them, while also freeing up each pharmacist’s time for more face-to-face customer consultation.
Solution Implementation:
With IBM’s help, Walgreens created a centralized processing group to offload some of the work that pharmacists routinely perform. IBM and the Walgreens IT team implemented a set of business process rules on the IBM Business Process Manager platform, running on IBM PureApplication System. The team then used IBM Operational Decision Manager and IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizer to create a structure that allows Walgreens to analyze and process all of the pharmacy workload coming in from 70,000 providers connected to the Walgreens network. The IBM Operational Decision Manager business process management system automates and governs many of the frequent, repeatable business decisions that are part of the pharmacy’s workload, and IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizer delivers the power needed to rapidly solve large, real-world optimization problems.
Benefits:
The solution delivers benefits for both Walgreens and its customers. Results include:
Quick time-to-value: Pattern-based deployment and management of Walgreens’ electronic pharmacy fulfillment application reside on IBM PureApplication System
Improved service levels: Significant increase in the number of scripts that are filled at the time when the customer needs them, increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty
Labor optimization: Ability to analyze and smooth out workflows and make sure pharmacies have the right staff at the right time
Flexibility: Decision structures that can accommodate rapid change as new state rules and regulations are introduced

Client Name: Tangerine Bank
Solution Components: IBM PureApplication System, IBM MobileFirst Platform
CRDB Entry: <TBD>
Pull Quote:
“We’ve always been a rapid development shop, but in the past, infrastructure was a bottleneck. Using IBM’s MobileFirst set of products along with IBM PureApplication System, we have been able to coordinate our infrastructure with our development. Now we are geared to move at the speed of mobile.”
– Peter Aceto, President and CEO, Tangerine Bank
Client:
Tangerine Bank, the direct banking subsidiary of Canadian-based Scotiabank, provides savings accounts, a variety of investment products and no-fee checking to customers in Canada. Tangerine Bank offers favorable rates to customers by avoiding the costs of running a network of traditional bank branches, instead emphasizing online and mobile banking. As of November 2013, it had over 1.8 million customers and nearly USD$40 billion in total assets.
Business Need:
Tangerine is committed to using technology to simplify the banking experience, and wanted to transform the business and drive growth by building mobile apps to engage customers anytime, anywhere. Developing new applications internally was at least a six-week process, with too much time spent in areas such as configuring and managing software, preparing test environments and developing mobile libraries. The bank wanted to increase business agility by shortening the development process, and also reduce infrastructure overhead costs.
Solution Implementation:
With IBM’s help, Tangerine Bank accelerated the delivery of mobile development with an integrated infrastructure and architecture platform based on IBM PureApplication System and the IBM MobileFirst software set. The solution included the IBM MobileFirst Platform application development environment to simplify deployment, and IBM PureApplication System with automated infrastructure integration, configuration and management. As a proof of concept, IBM helped the Tangerine Bank IT team integrate new capabilities—such as voice identification based on technology from an IBM Business Partner, Nuance Communications—into the bank’s mobile app.
Benefits:
With IBM PureApplication System and IBM MobileFirst software, Tangerine Bank gained a rapid, low-cost development process and increased business agility to enhance the bank’s competitive position.
The bank is now targeting two weeks as its time frame for mobile app development instead of the previous six weeks—a potential 60 percent reduction.
Using repeatable IBM PureApplication System patterns, the bank’s IT team can fully replicate an operational hardware and software stack in about 30 minutes instead of taking days to set up and configure an environment.
By leveraging IBM MobileFirst as a test facility, pilot users can toggle between different versions of a mobile app, providing feedback the bank can use to decide if the app is ready for release to the public.
Provisioning, scaling, security, high availability and other application attributes are automatically managed across apps and system resources, leading to expected overhead cost reductions in the future.
