IBM Smarter Buildings: Detailed Overview Steve Cole
IBM celebrated its Centennial in 2011. It gave us the opportunity to reflect on what it takes to be a great company and a great brand. To do that, we remain committed to being a leader in the markets we serve….. and a company that operates on a higher standard than just what is required by law or regulation… A company that continuously reinvents itself and creates offerings that have a positive impact on our planet. And nowhere is this more important than innovations that deal energy efficiency in buildings.
This Smarter Buildings presentation illustrates the real business value of doing more with less ways that benefits the economic, operational and environmental strategies of your organization. This represents IBM’s perspective on smarter buildings, one that will introduce you to 5 key project areas you may not have thought of when you think of a "smarter building".
Our Smarter Buildings discussion presentation will illustrate the real business value of doing more with less in a way that benefits the economic, operational and environmental strategies of your organization.

Improving Quality and Adoption: EIM SQL Server 2012Perficient, Inc.
As your organization matures in its understanding of the value of BI and data as a strategic asset, it's only natural it will demand more from its BI platform.
Use this growing maturity as an opportunity to introduce the concept of Enterprise Information Management (EIM) to the organization. The concept may seem foreign to some, but when examined within the context of improving the quality of the information, which ultimately leads to better adoption of the BI platform, the benefits are compelling.
Join Perficient as we explore the technologies that will introduce the EIM concept to your organization, namely Master Data Services (MDS) and Data Quality Services (DQS). We'll even see these technologies in a live demo.
