{"16":"Details not yet in CRDB, but case study exists in Japanese and is presently being translated into English (LINK PENDING)\nLocated within the Kochi prefecture of Japan, Kochi Medical School Hospital is a teaching hospital that seeks to deliver comprehensive, hands-on medical training to students while also offering emergency and long-term treatment services. The hospital operates as a part of the prestigious Kochi University.\nKochi Medical School Hospital was looking to improve the timeliness and quality of patient care that it could deliver by updating its mobile computing system. The existing solution relied on expensive, proprietary handheld devices that offered limited functionality and required high maintenance costs, averaging USD300 per repair. As a result, the school did not have enough devices to supply one to each medical staff member, forcing employees to share equipment. So the nurses wanted one device per person to improve the productivity and more time for treating patients.\nTurning to IBM, the medical school joined with IBM® Global Technology Services® – Integrated Technology Services to update its mobile computing environment, migrating its existing medical applications and patient medical record systems to the IBM SmarterCloud Desktop platform. The IBM cloud solution provides a security-rich architecture specifically designed to support mobile application access. At the same time, IBM helped the hospital transition to an operating model including iPod touch devices from Apple Inc. to extend data access to mobile users. In addition, IBM Global Business Services® developed new iPod touch–based interfaces for the hospital’s existing applications.\nThe new IBM solution helps Kochi Medical School Hospital cut ongoing mobile computing costs. A new iPod touch device costs the business less than the average repair cost of the previous equipment, helping the hospital purchase enough devices to equip its entire medical staff. Employees are now more productive and efficient thanks to the increased accessibility of critical patient information. Further, the flexible IBM SmarterCloud Desktop platform offers a flexible architecture that can readily scale to meet shifting use demands while still delivering a security-rich environment.\n","5":"Source: Digital Front Office (DFO) Institute for Business Value Study, Q19a.

This lack of integration with existing processes and infrastructure often causes confusion and poor utilization of limited resources. Limited mobile technology skills and resources remain scattered across the enterprise, making it difficult to tackle key initiatives and deliver tangible results to the business. This, in turn, makes it more difficult to integrate mobile efforts into a cohesive, enterprise-wide strategy. For mobility to be successful, it will require close partnerships among multiple stakeholders, all owning a valued stake in this rapidly evolving space.\nA mobile strategy leader (according to our study) is a company that has a mobile strategy that looks like the one described above, and who also reported that their strategy is superior to their peers.

These trends also present challenges for the IT organization as mobile environments are becoming more complex, difficult and costly to manage, and present new security challenges for the IT network, data, and applications. The proliferation of mobile devices and platforms – including multiple devices per employee, M2M technologies, lack of standardization, ever-increasing demands on the IT infrastructure as data traffic explodes, and the need to securely mobile-enable existing and future business processes while keeping mobile and wireless expenses under control and ensuring positive end user experience – are themes that are continuing to rise to the top of the IT organization’s agenda. \nWhile the opportunities mobile presents are significant and mobile has become an enterprise requirement, there are a number of challenges clients face:\nFirst, at a business level, the basic models are changing in the way the business interacts and transacts with customers, employees and partners. Full business transactions need to be enabled with low latency request/response characteristics 24x7 from anywhere in the world at anytime. Knowledge of location can be important and utilized as part of the interaction.

With more than 8,700 employees worldwide, the majority of its staff - approximately 5,500 - work in Germany, with over 2,500 working at its Munich headquarters alone. The company also manufactures wireless communications technology. Rohde & Schwarz is family owned and operated and generates nearly EUR2 billion in annual revenues. \nBusiness need\nRohde & Schwarz wanted to create a mobile enterprise infrastructure that enabled it to support multiple devices and generate required applications. Specifically, the company sought to build, run and manage a range of applications for customers, partners and employees within an aggressive time frame. However, the organization had certain challenges, including a need for cross-platform development as well as integration with back-end systems, such as SAP and an existing mobile device management infrastructure. Rohde & Schwarz needed to offer these applications on tablets and smartphones across five platforms - iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows 8 and Adobe AIR - and developing natively for each platform would be costly and unmanageable over time.\nBack to top\nSolution implementation\nRohde & Schwarz evaluated several mobile platform solutions before choosing IBM Worklight software. “After lots of evaluations, we decided that Worklight [software] seems to fit best with our environment and our needs,” says Manfred Metz, corporate mobility manager, Rohde & Schwarz. Rohde & Schwarz used the Worklight platform to integrate rapidly with enterprise systems and securely reuse this integration layer in multiple applications. The development team also used third-party user interface libraries and easily crafted a unique, branded user interface library to serve as a standard for all future mobile application development initiatives.Using the Worklight platform, Rohde & Schwarz can create a tablet application version of its magazine to allow customers to access technical articles. It can incorporate the articles into the application as HTML5 pages and then deliver this content to multiple mobile platforms. Rohde & Schwarz also created two applications for internal use using the platform. The first, Sales Web Mobile, enables employees to access the company’s product background, inventory and marketing information. The information is synced to employees’ mobile devices, so employees can use the application even when they’re not connected to the network. The second application, Sales Circulars, provides just-in-time product information. It pushes news and updates to sales personnel, but users can select specific areas of interest so they receive only information that’s relevant to them. For the development of Sales Circulars, Rohde & Schwarz was able to reuse the existing interfaces of Sales Web Mobile, so the company was able to deliver the application to the sales team within three weeks for five different platforms.\nBack to top\nBenefits of the solution\nBy implementing IBM Worklight software, Rohde & Schwarz gained the ability to:- Reduce the cost of multi-platform development by 60 percent when developing for five platforms- Provide open interfaces, allowing Rohde & Schwarz to connect to and use resources within its existing infrastructure- Shorten the time to market with hybrid development of applications across multiple mobile operating systemsSolutions/Offerings \nSoftware:\nWebSphere: IBM Worklight \n","3":"Over the next five years, the total market for wearable wireless devices in sports and healthcare will grow to 169.5 million devices in 2017, up from 20.77 million in 2011, a CAGR of 41%.\n","20":"Ford - Connected Vehicle Synopsis:A major US automotive original equipment manufacturer enhances the driving and vehicle ownership experience, improves vehicle maintenance tracking, and more quickly and cost-efficiently delivers services such as wireless access to social media and an onboard analytics service to monitor vehicle health when it deploys a Service Delivery Network based on IBM Cognos software and a suite of IBM WebSphere, IBM Rational and IBM Tivoli software Location: Dearborn, Michigan, United States Industry:Automotive URL:www.ford.com Client Background:Ford Motor Co. is an American multinational automaker headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan. It was founded by Henry Ford and incorporated in 1903. The company sells automobiles and light commercial vehicles under the Ford brand and luxury cars under the Lincoln brand. In the past it has also produced trucks, tractors and automotive components. Ford also owns small stakes in Mazda of Japan and Aston Martin of the United Kingdom. Business Need:The world has changed. Automobile manufacturers are, to a large extent, becoming software companies. The consumer is used to everything being connected and available 24x7. It is the world of mobile banking, Internet shopping, Facebook, Twitter, smartphones, iPads and more. And hence, consumers expect to have the same interaction with their automobiles. This inexorable march toward increasingly sophisticated mobile technologies and an ever-increasing number of consumer apps continues to raise the bar on drivers’ expectations for their vehicles and their driving experience. Ford Motor Co. needed to provide its customers with safer, simpler way to connect with in-vehicle technologies and their digital lives.To improve the experience of owning and operating its cars and trucks and thus increase customer satisfaction and reinforce brand loyalty, Ford needed to create a “connected vehicle,” a vehicle that safely and intuitively interfaces with mobile applications, devices and social media. The company wanted to provide drivers with in-vehicle access and ensure that its connected vehicles could remain current with the requirements of and opportunities presented by a fast-changing technology landscape. \nSolution:What Makes It SmarterTheir predecessors may have been satisfied with a horseless carriage, but today’s vehicle owners expect nothing less than an iPad on four wheels. This automotive manufacturer is collaborating with consumer electronic, Internet and software companies to give it to them. Through its Service Delivery Network (SDN), the company fundamentally transformed the automobile into a “connected vehicle.” Using the SDN, the connected vehicle acts as an agile interface for third-party smartphones or MP3 players, wireless content such as a weather app or social media, and built-in services, such as a vehicle health report (VHR). The VHR app interrogates more than 20 onboard systems, collecting and assimilating diagnostic data. The comprehensive analysis generated from this data includes recommended actions for any displayed vehicle warning indicators, open recalls, scheduled maintenance, and unserviced maintenance and wear items from previous dealer visits. Drivers can opt to receive a text message or email when their report is ready or log on to a website from which they can print the report, have it emailed, or connect to their preferred dealer’s website to schedule service. The SDN can also deliver a text message alert to the drivers if a severe issue exists. Ford connected vehicles extensively use the IBM WebSphere DataPower Appliance as a business-to-business (B2B) Extensible Markup Language (XML) Gateway, primarily to interface with SDN partners through web services. The WebSphere DataPower Appliance forms the heart of the SDN infrastructure platform, working with the other components to deliver a complete “plug and play” solution. WebSphere DataPower technology acts in a similar way as a reduction gear, which allows each part of the SDN to operate at different speeds, yet quickly deliver connected apps and services to vehicles. Ford takes advantage of much of the native capability of the WebSphere DataPower Appliance and has added some services that are specific to its connected vehicles. Ford uses WebSphere DataPower technology’s monitoring capabilities and servers, which are proxied and load-balanced between multiple data centers that connect internally to its logging server, directory services, network monitoring, in-house single-sign-on solution and web single logon. The WebSphere DataPower Appliance makes available more than 130 web services, both internal and external, which are part of the Ford SDN.The Ford SDN also uses IBM WebSphere Service Registry, IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender, IBM WebSphere Application Server, IBM WebSphere MQ, IBM Rational Requisite Pro, IBM Rational Software Architect, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager and IBM Tivoli Monitoring software. IBM HTTP Server technology, a component of WebSphere Application Server software, comprises the solution as well. The products enable the client’s mobile solutions, such as traffic, turn-by-turn directions, vehicle health, concierge and more, with smarter middleware for complete integration with connected vehicles, service providers and dealers. IBM Cognos software is used in the quality area at Ford to provide common metrics reports and analysis capabilities, such as drill-down reports and online analytical processing (OLAP) cubes. Cognos software is also used as a downstream analysis and reporting tool for customer satisfaction survey and warranty data. \nBenefits of the Solution:Real Business Results•Helps the company to deliver services to customers more quickly and affordably •Improves tracking of maintenance issues and vehicle owner behaviors•Increased customer satisfaction by enabling vehicles to self-diagnose and report incipient maintenance issuesInstrumented - The company can connect with each of its vehicles through the SDN, collecting and distributing information from those vehicles wirelessly.Interconnected - The SDN interfaces with the OEM’s internal systems and vehicles as well as with Internet and third-party technology partner systems. Intelligent - Through the VHR, the SDN provides enhanced value-added service capabilities such as turn-by-turn directions and diagnostics that alert customers to possible issues with their vehicles and, based on metrics such as mileage and other objective data such as vehicle maintenance history, provide drivers with suggestions for addressing those issues. With its SDN, Ford applied best practices from the technology and communications industries and fundamentally changed the way drivers will view the automobile over the next century. This plug-and-play architecture provides the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) the same flexibility as some of the best consumer technology companies and allows it to bring services to consumers more quickly and affordably. For instance, its traffic, directions and information application uses a customer’s mobile phone and the vehicle’s integrated GPS receiver to connect customers to near-real-time turn-by-turn driving directions, traffic reports and business searches. The application’s functionality requires no vehicle updates and is available to all owners who subscribe to traffic, directions and information, or have a built-in navigation system on their vehicle. The service is available from MapQuest or Google websites. For the past several years, owners of Ford vehicles have had an app built right in their vehicle that that allows them to perform self-diagnostics. With this no-charge VHR app, the customer can generate vehicle health reports using simple voice commands in the vehicle, which are then displayed on a dedicated website. When the driver initiates VHR, the system collects the vehicle’s mileage and diagnostic data from more than 20 onboard vehicle systems and transfers the data to Ford using the driver’s mobile phone. A comprehensive report is generated from the vehicle data and includes recommended actions for any displayed vehicle warning indicators, open recalls, OEM scheduled maintenance, and unserviced maintenance and wear items from previous dealer visits. Drivers can select to receive a text message or email when their report is ready. Drivers log on to a website and can print the report, have it emailed, or connect to their preferred dealer’s website to schedule service. Depending on the driver’s preferences, the SDN can also deliver a text message alert to the driver if a severe issue exists. The VHR system translates complicated codes and descriptions into easy-to-understand language for drivers and provides recommended actions specific to the vehicle’s operating condition and service history. It also gives users background information on what specific warning indicators mean and details beyond a light. This helps them learn more about their car and provides additional security and peace of mind with their ownership experience. \n","9":"Over the next five years, the total market for wearable wireless devices in sports and healthcare will grow to 169.5 million devices in 2017, up from 20.77 million in 2011, a CAGR of 41%.\n","15":"They are securing and managing the mobile enterprise: Over 80 percent of mobile strategy leaders indicated they were effective in addressing security issues around the protection of data, securing connectivity, device management threat detection, mobile app security and user security.)
