Computing age Internet age

NOW a smarter planet

Instrumented

It’s a fundamental shift in the way we all live, work and do business.

IBM in the UK and Ireland is at the forefront of how we deliver the promise of a smarter planet.

Ahead of us, something meaningful is happening…the world is getting smarter

We live on a planet that is getting smarter

A planet that is becoming more:

Interconnected Intelligent

of UK electricity needs to come from renewable sources in 2020 to meet climate change targets. Ireland’s target is 16%

In 2007, only 5% of UK electricity came from renewable sources and Ireland imported 96% of all energy used

32%

Challenges facing the UK and Ireland

2016When UK electricity demand will exceed the capacity of present power stations

New plants under construction only delay this date until 2020

increase in electricity demand if half of Britain’s passenger cars were powered by electricity

Meeting this demand through nuclear power would require 10 new reactors

26%

Challenges facing the UK and Ireland

of Ireland’s produced water is ‘lost’ before it reaches the customer

The water industry is the 4th largest user of energy in the UK

50%

of households are without a domestic water meter in the UK

Fitting a meter can reduce demand by up to 10%

67%

46Mdomestic gas and electricity meters to be changed to smart technology in 26 million UK households. 1.8 million Irish households to have smart meters by 2013

of data generated over a 7 year period through nationwide deployment of domestic smart meters

The Co-operative GroupThe world’s largest consumer cooperative

“The re-engineering of the POS system so it

can be shut down at night clearly underlines

The Co-operative Group’s continuing

commitment to the environment.”

Mark Hale

Director of IS Food Retail

The Co-operative Group

Challenge

Cut total energy use by 25% by 2012

SolutionSoftware solution powers systems down and automatically brings them back online using "wake-on-LAN" technology

smarter energy

Benefit

Automatically switching off devices overnight and re-starting them in the morning is expected to:

• Save 1.68 million Kw hours of electricity annually

• Reduce costs by £120,000

• Cut CO2 emissions by 722 tonnes

smarter cities

CovJamThe worlds first City Jam in Coventry UK

Challenge

A streamlined and clear view of operations in order to improve customer service.

Solution

Using the ‘wisdom of crowds’ philosophy, IBM hosted a jam for over 800 city constituents.

IBM CoBRA (Corporate Brand Reputation Analysis) was then deployed to analyse the results.

Benefits

First-ever use of the IBM Jam approach in a UK city delivered unprecedented insight into the opinions of local stakeholders.

By connecting diverse groups of people and giving them a forum to collaborate and share information, the Jam has generated innovative ideas.

Jam format pulls in unstructured information from multiple sources and provides insight that will help drive Coventry’s strategic development plans over the coming 30 years.

“The IBM Jam brought out practical ideas. People know that we can’t change overnight, that we need to take baby steps to being a smarter city with low-cost, practical projects.” Martin ReevesChief Executive of Coventry City Council

IBM has 11 Cloud development labs around the world, including Hursley in Hampshire and Dublin

in IrelandIBM and Cable and Wireless Worldwide’s UK Smart Energy Cloud provides scalable, secure and flexible data hub to support Smart Metering

The UK is a centre of excellence for Cloud security – one of the key client issues with Cloud

The Irish Cancer Society is developing a smart Cloud-based system for its ‘Care to Drive’ programme with an IBM Centennial Grant

On a Smarter planet, Cloud Computing enables the world to be more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent

IBM is working with hundreds of UK and Irish clients to achieve the business benefits of Cloud including cost reduction and much greater agility

IBM’s Cloud Services make sure every point played at Wimbledon is captured and analysed in realtime
