The document discusses how smarter systems are needed for a smarter planet to manage vast amounts of data, gain insights from information, and manage risks while increasing business agility and performance. It provides examples of smarter cities, medicine, energy grids, and traffic systems and argues that intentionally designed, integrated systems are needed that optimize performance and resources. The document then describes IBM's portfolio of smarter systems that address data management, business insights, processes, and risks to help organizations operate more efficiently.

Yet the reality can seem
daunting
Numerous system integrations are required to
make a city smarter
Tremendous analytic power is needed to
discover new treatments for cancer
Massive amounts of data flowing from hundreds
of thousands of smart meters must be read
multiple times per hour
Staggering numbers of images must be
captured, stored, managed and linked to billing
and collection systems in real time

Especially in light of today’s challenges
41% of data center managers claim their data centers will
max out their energy capacity within one to two years3
85%
Processor power doubles
every 18 months, but up to of this power often sits idle2
80% of digital data is now unstructured4 and requires
greater effort to transform it into usable intelligence
