Cloud enabling enterprises to fuel innovation
We envision a future helping customers continue their digital business transformation - with a focus on speed
“just-in-time” or real-time analytics are becoming a business cornerstone.
We are seeing disruptors leveraging some key digital transformations to reinvent business processes:
Front line decision making: New mobile apps are bringing data and decision making to the fingertips of people at the front lines of your organization who need to act, enabling your organization to become more nimble and provide better service
Moving decision making to the front line requires:
Connecting and securing services and data from different places including core systems of record
The ability to assemble them together as services outside the firewall, for mobile and web apps
Quickly identifying and resolving any performance bottlenecks that could occur.
Insight driven processes: Insight from non traditional data – social like twitter, internet of things, wearable devices, m2m is being used in real time business critical processes to create new business moments. More data, insight and capabilities are available in both employee and customer devices at the point of action, enabling faster, better decisions and action in the business moment
Delivering insight driven processes requires
the ability to integrate data sources from the internet of things, as well as systems of record and 3rd party data sets
analytics that have cloud speed and elasticity
Delivered at the right time, right place… informing and enabling business moments
Ecosystem based innovation: Other companies are effectively becoming digital innovators. They are focusing on creating their unique differentiation and sourcing from developer communities to help complete complex products and solutions. They are leveraging digital services from a broad ecosystem so they can focus on their core competences
Enabling ecosystem based innovation requires:
easy integration of data and services from any source
Agile DevOps capabilities that enable rapid experimentation
Coordinated lifecycle delivery
Speaking Points:
Lets talk about some enterprise that have chosen to be disruptors
For instance the airline industry
Globally, over 100,000 planes take off every day – over 37 million flights last year
A plane alone has 360,000 parts.
Small margins - about $4 per passenger in 2012 – about the cost of a cup of large coffee
In the US alone flight delays cost over $8 billion in 2012
Making the right decision at the right time and place can make a huge difference.
A critical metric that airlines can control is Turnaround times – that’s how long it takes to turn an incoming flight into an outbound flight
For an Airbus A320, industry best practice is around 25 minutes.
But it’s not uncommon for turnaround time to take 45 minutes or more.
Every flight hour lost is about $10,000 of lost revenue.
Airlines are looking to adopt more efficient maintenance models
Airbus spoke on stage at InterConnect this year
saw this as an opportunity to transform the way they deliver value to their customers
moving beyond simply selling airplanes to offer new services that bring their expertise to their customers by bringing a wide variety of data and insight together to mobile devices in the hands of maintenance engineers to optimize the speed and efficiency of maintenance actions.
This requires dealing with a high number of diverse systems
some on premises
some in the cloud
some on planes in flight
some in the hands of maintenance engineers
It all has to come together so the people on the front lines can do their jobs more effectively.
They can bring all the pieces of the maintenance puzzle together:
The current location of the aircraft …
The maintenance history and real time maintenance status of the aircraft …
The availability of parts …
The location, availability and skills of the line mechanic … and more
By connecting and securing services and data from all these different sources, on the IBM Cloud, the three main players in aircraft maintenance
The mechanic
The maintenance supervisor
And Airbus
The right information gets to the right decision-makers at the point of action at the right time,
Accelerating troubleshooting
Shrinking Turnaround Time.
Keeping planes and people moving.
IBM Cloud and mobile bring it all together – the ability to bridge between the cloud and back office systems, mobile capabilities, analytics and security

Citi spoke at Interconnect as well.
Fostering innovation through digital acceleration
Leverages the concept of outside-in innovation. Through it they want to:
Unleash the power of the tech community
Develop new solutions
Disrupt the way banks innovate
Recognized the missed opportunities that would exist if they relied solely on Citi and were unable to engage the full tech community.
Using 3rd party development communities to help drive innovation.
Speaking Points:
Successful organizations will seek to transform the way they deliver client experiences and the way they operate their processes – or both – to deliver greater value and differentiation.
They will:
connect seamlessly across ecosystems
enable interactivity across all elements of these ecosystems
develop a greater awareness of client needs that informs the experiences they deliver
and apply intelligence to their decision-making
In short they will become Digital Enterprises.
Digital Enterprises outperform traditional enterprises – they have greater wallet share, customer retention and new product development success than organizations in their peer group who have not adapted.
Additionally, they evaluate their abilities to engage with clients and to operate effectively far higher than their non-Digital peers.
Speaking Points:
How you will personally respond to the new digital era?
The first step is to recognize where you need to head
If you look at these digital transformations it’s clear that digital businesses today use and connect data and services from many different sources. Some you will own. Some you will simply connect to. Some will be on-premises and some will not.
One large category of apps and services that are being driving through cloud are mobile apps and other means of engagement.
The bottom line is no one environment will contain everything you will need and use.
The essential challenge is that a multi-speed transformation is required. One in which organizations must continue to exploit the institutional knowledge and consistent processes of their core operations, while unleashing rapid, scalable innovation across ecosystems, that can then be incorporated repeatably into organizational DNA .
Multi-speed transformation requires an ambidextrous nature of working across different cultures, skillsets and ecosystems, and must be built on a technology foundation that bring these worlds together.
Speaking Points:
IT is a critical enabler of multi-speed transformation.
Organizations need to build the capabilities to rapidly develop and deliver new services, which requires a collaborative approach to development that extends across business leaders, developers and IT teams.
Scale is essential – organizations need to be able to take what is good in their enterprise, but rapidly incorporate new developments across ecosystems and extend these services… this requires a flexible IT foundation.
Operational automation and visibility is key – the pace of digital business demands that the right decisions are made at the right time… often at a pace human’s can’t keep up with. Analytics and automation ensure completeness of information, and the ability to respond to what this information is saying, at the right time. Automation frees up time for innovative new projects by minimizing the time teams spend on routine activities.
Speaking Points:
A majority of organizations cite people, process or technology challenges to digital transformation.
People challenges are most commonly cited by customers - difficulties achieving the culture change or buy-in required to drive a transformation, breaking down the organizational siloes between functional, or unleashing the skills of digital innovators.
Process: As business processes and transactions cross multiple environments, organizations must:
Be aware of the new risks involved, and ensure security, visibility and control at each touch point.
And ensure processes are adaptable to cross beyond the boundaries of the traditional organizational ecosystem.
Technology: How do you maximize flexibility? To use not only your own data, apps and services, but also those from anywhere you want, and be confident you’ll have that flexibility into the future?
You need a flexible, open IT foundation that can handle data from any source, with rapid scalability, on demand.
