IBM Power Systems: Open innovation to put data to work across the enterprise

Organizations must be able to adapt in a rapidly changing landscape

In 2014 alone, digitized data will grow by 50% to 6 trillion terabytes1

Worldwide purchases over mobile devices are expected to exceed $1 trillion by 20172

2/3 of US adults say they would not return to a business that lost their personal, confidential information5.

In January 2014, for the first time, Americans used their smart phone and tablet applications more than their PCs to access the internet3

Cloud deployment has grown 92% since 20124

Over 70% of IT executives – IT infrastructure important for enabling competitive advantage, optimizing revenue and profit1

A robust IT infrastructure is essential to supporting this flexibility and driving new revenue streams
