Smarter technology for a Smarter Planet:

42% of workers are working with inaccurate information.

When organisations don’t have the right tools and processes in place, finding the right information or reaching the right person often proves impossible.

In an independent study,* 42% of workers and 52% of managers said they could make better decisions and be more productive if they were given smarter ways to connect to information and collaborate with others.

With so much data being generated and captured, using it in the most effective way has never been more important. Or more possible. Because today we have the tools and technology to help capture, process and share it. So everyone can work together. And work smarter, instead of just harder.

IBM is working with businesses around the world to help them build more agile, collaborative and connected business environments. Like the major retail supplier that told us it wanted to work smarter. By helping to bring its people, processes and information together, we helped cut its average financial reporting time by almost 50%.

A smarter business needs smarter software, systems and services. Let’s build a smarter planet. ibm.com/smartwork/uk Page 1  |  Page 2  |  Page 3  |  Page 4  |  Page 5  |  Page 6  |  Page 7  |  Page 8  |  Page 9  |  Page 10  |  Page 11  |  Page 12  |  Page 13  |  Page 14  |  Page 15  |  Page 16  |  Page 17  |  Page 18  |  Page 19  |  Page 20  |  Page 21  |  Page 22  |  Page 23  |  Page 24  |  Page 25  |  Page 26  |  Page 27  |  Page 28  |  Page 29  |  Page 30  |  Page 31  |  Page 32  |  Page 33  |  Page 34  |  Page 35  |  Page 36  |  Page 37  |  Page 38  |  Page 39  |  Page 40
