IBM Data Analysis – A smarter way to analyse and use information - Signs of Smart - United Kingdom

Data analysis and information used to be a river, flowing in one predictable direction with a visible source. No more.

Today, it's a roiling ocean of data, constantly expanding its shores. Experts predict that in just four years from now, the amount of digital information in the world will double every 11 hours. It can be a daunting task for any enterprise to sift through and undertake massive data analysis, extracting information and transforming it into actionable knowledge. But action without data analysis is just guessing.

The globally integrated enterprise needs something more powerful. Today's information management and data analysis tools offer situational awareness and predictive abilities. This "new intelligence" combines human cognition with computational power, shifting the agenda from "sense and respond" to situational awareness and something very much like prediction.

New intelligence gives you more than a window into your current operations. It provides a likely view of what is just around the corner and even further down the road. Analytics and reporting tools slice and dice data, crystallising trends, patterns and anomalies that yield invaluable business insights to help you drive smarter decision-making.

Can you spot key market patterns? Can you trust your information? Can you make the right calls to get where you need to go, and get these ahead of your competitors? New intelligence data analysis helps you know what you know- and what you don't.

Smarter Intelligence

Fifteen petabytes of data are created everyday. What if we could turn all of that data, videos, pictures, text, blogs, market movements and transactions into smarter information for better decisions? Watch the video to find how we can.

Data Anthem: Analysing data to make the world work better

Understanding data patterns is important to industries like energy, transportation and healthcare. And the more we understand, the more answers we find. That’s why data management and analysis is already helping to lower energy costs, ease traffic and detect diseases faster, all over the world. View the Data Anthem video to learn more.

Tiny data generators

Over a thousand pieces of unique information
per second

With premature babies, even the slightest variation in biomedical readings such as heart rate can signal a turn for the worse. And such changes can be detected up to 24 hours in advance.

IBM and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology embarked on a first-of-a-kind research project to help doctors detect these subtle changes. The project will use advanced stream computing software that ingests a constant stream of biomedical data, such as temperature and respiration, along with environmental data gathered from advanced sensors and more traditional monitoring equipment on and around the babies.

 

Keeping drugs and vaccines fresh

Together with IBM and its partner Infratab, DHL (US), a unit of Deutsche Post World Net, developed an advanced temperature tracking solution that combines sophisticated sensing and RFID technology to enable realtime monitoring of temperature-sensitive shipments while in transit.

Predicting changes in the tiniest patients

IBM's breakthrough "stream computing" software helps doctors at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (US) detect subtle changes in the condition of critically ill premature babies.

Monitoring and forecasting changes in our waterways

The Beacon Institute (US) and IBM have created the first technology-based monitoring and forecasting network for a major American river and estuary. The River and Estuary Observatory Network (REON) will allow for minute-to-minute monitoring of New York's Hudson River via technology distributed throughout the 315-mile river.

Stream computing automates market decision-making

TD Bank Financial Group (US) is using IBM stream computing software systems utilising the IBM Blue Gene Supercomputer, in a first-of-a-kind project to support financial services companies as they capitalise on up-to-the-minute changing market conditions.
