Optimize Business Performance by Building a Smarter Enterprise
The business climate is changing rapidly, and the onus is on you and your organizations to respond quickly and effectively. To optimize business performance you can't work harder or spend more on resources. You need to work smarter. Smart Work is about creating a collaborative and connected business environment that empowers your people, embraces change and ultimately increases productivity.
Smart Work means you can:
- Significantly lower operational costs and reduce application development costs
- Respond more quickly, increasing revenue and accelerating time-to-market
- Gain new insights from greater collaboration and better instrumentation
- Streamline processes and scale back staffing requirements
- Empower people to implement business changes in real-time
- Improve customer service
Here's an astonishing fact: Companies with isolated business groups and IT functions earn 12 percent less on average than their more interconnected and agile counterparts. On Wednesday, September 16th, James Surowiecki and Jon Iwata will lead a live videocast on how your organization can join the ranks of the smarter, more agile enterprise. James is the author of the best-selling Wisdom of Crowds and is acknowledged as the foremost expert on harnessing collective knowledge for competitive advantage. Jon leads the global team at IBM responsible for market insights, demand generation, communications and workforce enablement. Together they will help you discover how to optimize your own business performance and why IBM is uniquely qualified to help its customers work smarter. And following the webcast, IBM will host a global Smart Work JAM to engage business leaders, technologists and visionaries in a dialogue on how work is evolving in support of a smarter planet.
Please join us! Register Now.
IBM's Smart Work Jam
Immediately following the Smart Work webcast on September 16, IBM will kick off a 72-hour global "Jam"- a large scale Web 2.0 venue - to explore how work will evolve in the future. The Jam is designed around several thought-provoking topics to facilitate conversation and the development of ideas to help optimize business and organizational performance by working smarter. We are inviting business leaders, technologists, researchers, and visionaries to join the discussion and share and develop inventive ideas in areas like:
- The evolution of teams
- Maximizing the talents of the new generation of workers
- Collaborative business process management
Additionally, we are planning deeper dives into how technology can help make healthcare providers and government work smarter for everyone.
After the Jam, IBM will publish a summary report that provides practical ideas and opportunities for collaboration around Smart Work topics. Since 2001, IBM has used Jams to enable broad collaboration and idea sharing to gain new perspectives - all with the goal of accelerating decision making and action.
The topics we will explore in detail include:
- Government - How can technology help government encourage broader participation and facilitate business growth?
- Healthcare - What new possibilities to make health services more affordable, accessible, and personalized are taking shape as people, data, and processes become more connected?
- How can collaboration help business process management evolve to drive optimization for all parties involved?
- How do we maximize the talents of the @generation while transferring knowledge and optimizing our ways of working across generations?
- What does the future of teamwork look like as teams become more global, virtual, dynamic, and comfortable with technology than ever before?
- What will work look like in 2020? What ideas can we apply in surprising ways?
- What opportunities will emerge as we harness newly possible input and output from mobile people beyond the traditional boundaries of our organizations?

- Extending Smart SOA Application Foundation into a Public Cloud
- Elastic Scaling for the Cloud using WebSphere eXtreme Scale
- Virtualizing Your Applications with WebSphere Virtual Enterprise
Now there is REST for eXtreme Scale!
An exciting new set of features has become available which will help to expand reach of eXtreme Scale grids into a new pool of applications. Available today is the tech preview of the eXtreme Scale REST Data Services Framework, which creates an ADO.NET Data Services facade to an eXtreme Scale Data Grid. This access and query specification is based on REST, so the potential here is significant. Any client language or application with REST bindings can be modified to directly access an eXtreme Scale grid. Learn more at developerWorks, including documentation, downloads as well as a sample to show how this integrates with ADO.NET.
A conversation about extreme transaction processing (XTP) with Rob High, IBM Fellow and SOA Foundation Chief Architect, IBM Software Group
While extreme transaction processing (XTP) provides technologies for enterprises that really push transaction limits, those same technologies offer significant cost savings, better performance and agility to many mainstream applications today. XTP technologies enable nearly unlimited linear scalability and effective asset reuse across online and batch workloads. Read more from Rob High's conversation on XTP.
