IBM software story But with new models and ways of working come new challenges...page 12Data everywhere As the world becomes more instrumented, the challenge is to get more out of the wealth of new information—from managing data to developing insights. New expectations for valueGlobal integration and connectivity As the world becomes more interconnected and as the paradigm of the organization shifts from multinational corporation to globally integrated enterprise, businesses can no longer afford to operate as islands. More than ever, they need to find ways to connect both internally and externally.Customer expectations have never been higher: Personalized service, delivered flawlessly. Differentiation through people As always, it’s the capabilities and ingenuity of the people in business that deliver results. But today, it’s about more than just those on your payroll—the greater opportunity is how well you can engage a worldwide ecosystem of employees, partners, suppliers, and customers to help create new value.BusinessSoftwareSecurity risks Technology has allowed work to move beyond physical locations and brand offices. It now exists on virtual platforms, across dispersed teams and players. But the more data and information organizations make available to their internal audience, the greater the risk.

Using IBM Software for Business Intelligence and Analytics, Carrefour has been able to leverage its customers’ consumption patterns to establish the most popular loyalty program in France, with nearly 14 million members. By leveraging historical transaction data and real-time business analytics, Carrefour can identify its most profitable customers, what products they buy, and—most importantly—what products they would be willing to buy with the right incentive. Marketers can craft highly targeted campaigns, execute them rapidly and gauge their impact instantaneously. With the capability to distribute promotions through kiosks, mobile phones, Web sites, and hand-held devices, Smarter Software from IBM has directly supported Carrefour’s efforts to strengthen customer loyalty by creating a common customer experience across all of its retail formats.

While having ample warehouse space, the company had outgrown manual inventory control processes. They needed a system that could help track thousands of different types of valves, sensors, fittings and vacuums in real-time, as well as handle millions of shipments. Using an IBM and IBM partner database management solution, SMC was able to integrate receiving, stocking, replenishment, order fulfillment and shipping, giving them up-to-the-second visibility of its inventory and product whereabouts. With IBM’s software applications, SMC is able to conduct immediate and seamless downloading of customer orders and new parts without costly and error-prone re-keying of information. With greater visibility and control across the system, staff members at the warehouse are able to collaborate in new ways and respond faster to changes in the supply chain. Most importantly, the solution assures that warehouse locations don’t drop below minimum stock levels. With IBM software, SMC has been able to increase shipping capacity across Asia by 25 percent, while reducing expenses by 25 percent—all while maintaining a 100 percent accuracy of orders placed.

As part of a multi-utility business group, the company has expanded beyond the electrical service infrastructure it originally developed, and now offers new data communications services, including cable TV, internet and phone service over fiber to the home. IBM Software for Messaging and Collaboration has helped Shikoku implement a communications system for knowledge sharing throughout the company, including critical information to enable rapid recovery from power outages during emergencies such as earthquakes. By strengthening basic access control and setting up a framework to address the issue of information leakage, the company has also created an environment of improved governance. Whether it’s daily business manuals, or procedures to solve equipment problems, or recovering quickly from major outages, Smarter Software from IBM has helped Shikoku connect its employees, customers and partners together, and deliver an enhanced level of service throughout.
    • 19. IBM software story Enable business service & product innovation Smarter software delivers.page 19Case study: French biomedical companyA French biomedical company has an ambitious mission: develop the most advanced artificial heart to drastically extend the life of heart disease patients. While the heart includes many technological and biomedical firsts, perhaps the biggest breakthrough is the heart’s state- of-the-art use of software and sensors to adjust its own performance. The company entrusted IBM to develop the software and sub-systems key to their success. Depending on the patient’s level of exertion, the heart adjusts its speed and blood pressure to feed more oxygen to the body. That allows for a more normal—and variable— level of physical exertion, whether the patient is sitting still, climbing a flight of stairs, or taking a brisk walk. The built-in software also allows the device to be remotely monitored and diagnosed, sparing patients frequent trips to the hospital for routine checkups. With Smarter Software from IBM, patients with these artificial hearts enjoy greater autonomy and freedom to go about their lives, while trusting that their physicians and hospital have all the most up-to-the-moment information to ensure they’re heathy and safe.

McCarran was able to increase its efficiency and service quality by unifying the management of all IT and operational assets, and consolidating the various legacy financial and operational systems in one place. Key benefits include significantly improved technician productivity; accelerated resolution of repairs; reduced IT costs; increased revenue through accurate chargebacks; enhanced security and streamlined compliance reporting. So whether it’s a pot hole that needs to quickly be fixed on a runway, or whether it’s ensuring that customer baggage is appropriately routed, or that the right people have the right security access at the right time, Smarter Software from IBM has helped McCarran Airport distinguish itself by optimizing its internal workflow systems and integrating its previously siloed assets.

IBM software story Drive enterprise operations effectiveness & efficiency Smarter software optimizes.page 21Case study: Swiss ReTo help manage its growth, Swiss Re moved from a siloed, manual approach in managing key IT processes to an end- to-end service management model in which IT processes are standardized, automated and aligned with business needs. One area where this shift can be seen is in the organization’s handling of change and release management processes: It’s not unlikely that during a single weekend IT staff must implement between 200 and 1,000 IT changes. Swiss Re partnered with IBM to improve their change and release management by aligning software delivery with business requirements, predicting future IT requirements and assessing how changes could affect service, and automating previously manual processes to ensure quality and reduce errors. With Smarter Software from IBM, Swiss Re has been able to deploy new services faster and with fewer errors. In fact, some service changes that previously took days to deploy can now be completed in just 10 minutes. And with a consolidated view of their infrastructure, developers can create new services to run on existing resources rather than sourcing whole new technologies.

Thus, the company embarked on a complete transformation of its retail banking system. As part of the transformation, the company needed to replace its existing mainframe security system. Moving forward, they needed a comprehensive suite of security tools that would help them rigorously enforce security as well as automate administration and auditing for both the new banking platform and its legacy environments. They worked closely with IBM Business Partner RSM Partners to replace their existing mainframe security software with an IBM Service Management solution that helps them stay ahead of security threats and lower the cost of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. With Smarter Software from IBM, Allied Irish Banks was able to establish more robust and secure protocols over their IT, freeing bank staff to focus more on quality control and improving customer service.
