Information Overload
 As the world is becoming increasingly
interconnected, intelligent and instrumented,
more sensors are placed throughout the world
to capture the data.
 While more information is available to
enterprises, less of the data is being effectively
captured, managed, analyzed and made
available to the people who need it. Enterprises
can’t keep pace.
 Data matters because everything from traffic to
utilities to healthcare information can be
captured, monitored and analyzed for insight.

New Opportunities: How We Can Help
 With all of this data come new
challenges as organizations are now
struggling to not only extract the relevant
information, but to make sure it’s more
intelligent and actionable.
 IBM Research is pursuing leading edge
research and actively engaging in client
projects to extend the ability for analytics
to predict outcomes and improve the
speed and quality of business decisions –
using data analysis and modeling
algorithms, to help achieve a Smarter
Planet
