Big Green Innovations
The IBM Big Green Innovations team applies advanced materials science, physics, modeling tools, materials science, physics, and integration expertise to address emerging environmental management opportunities.
By collaborating with clients that have a global presence in water and energy related problems we can bring innovative perspectives the reach across ecosystems to solve problems none of us could have solved individually.
The team is presently focusing its development of offerings in these areas:
- Advanced Water Management — Encompasses a broad agenda from availability and quality to distribution and consumption. Our technology and expertise can help water utilities, agencies, and private industry improve water quality and water system performance. By collaborating with clients to provide them more accurate and timelier data on water operations, IBM can help clients proactively manage provisioning for human, industrial, and agricultural consumption leveraging tools like IBM Deep Thunder. Understanding weather impact on water management can help optimize the management of complex water environments.
IBM will also work with organizations to develop nanotechnology-based water filtration systems and other products that address the challenge of providing potable water in a world where water is becoming a scarce resource.
Alternative Energy - We offer integrated solutions to help utilities, enterprises, and governments maximize the efficiency and sustainability of energy generation, transmission, and distribution. Solutions include decision support for renewable energy and business processes, overall management of an organization's impact on climate change, and the impact of climate change on an organization's operations. An example of this is Intelligent Utility Network. Carbon Management — We have the expertise to support integrated solutions that can help clients minimize the carbon implications footprint of companies' operations and supply chains. Our set of tools and services reflects our view that for maximum effectiveness, carbon management should be integrated with the day-to-day management of other business variables such as inventory, customer service and cost so you can experience the double benefit of reduced carbon and reduced cost or improved process performance. Computational Modeling — We have computational modeling, data analysis, visualization and business/process modeling, and analytics associated with improving global environmental health in areas such as weather, climate, hydrology, pollution, and pandemics.
IBM Big Green Innovation services and capabilities include:
- Full system architecting and integration leveraging IBM's global business partner network
- Analysis of data from sensors and simulations of environmental phenomena
- Implementation of computational and visualization techniques for analyzing and understanding complex data
- Optimization of business processes and opportunities for operational integration
