'''Smarter Planet'''<ref>http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/overview/ideas/index.html</ref> is a corporate initiative of the [[information technology]] company [[IBM]]. The initiative underscores how forward-thinking leaders in business, government and civil society around the world are capturing the potential of smarter systems to achieve economic growth, near-term efficiency, sustainable development and societal progress.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}}


== History ==
Examples of smarter systems include smart grids, water management systems, solutions to traffic congestion problems, greener buildings, and many others. These systems have historically been difficult to manage because of their size and complexity. But with new ways of monitoring, connecting, and analyzing the systems, leaders are developing innovative ways to manage these systems. IBM plays a part in these smarter systems by providing some of the technology and process management capabilities.


Smarter Planet was officially formed in November 2008, when IBM's Chairman, CEO, and President [[Sam Palmisano]] at the [[Council on Foreign Relations]] presented a new agenda for building a "smarter planet".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eweek.com/networking/25-things-you-might-not-know-about-ibms-smarter-planet-strategy|title=25 Things You Might Not Know About IBMs Smarter Planet Strategy|work=[[eWeek]]|author=Darryl K.

==Gift of Knowledge==
==Smarter cities==
{{see|Smart city}}
As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, [[IBM]] has taken Smarter Planet beyond mere advertising to demonstrate thought leadership around smarter systems. The idea is to inspire people all around the world to confront the challenges the planet faces head on with systems that are more instrumented, interconnected, and intelligent.


In 2009, IBM launched the Smarter Cities Challenge. Its goal is to aid major cities worldwide to run more efficiently, save money and resources, and improve the quality of life for their citizens.<ref name="smarterplanetintro"/>
For example, you might care about the health of your local river enough to monitor its water quality. How much more effective would your monitoring efforts be if you connected with similar passionate people living along the river to compare and analyze the data you gather? If your tests find that your water quality is worse than your collaborator's tests upstream, you know that the river is adversely affected by events between the two of you. Finding and helping to correct the problem will result in a cleaner river for everyone downstream.


To date, Smarter Cities Challenge serves thousands of cities around the world in all areas of management<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/smarter_cities/management/index.html | title=Let's Create &#124; IBM | website=[[IBM]] | date=October 2015 }}</ref> including public safety, health and human services, education,<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/smarter_cities/human_services/index.html | title=Let's Create &#124; IBM | website=[[IBM]] | date=October 2015 }}</ref> infrastructure,<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/smarter_cities/infrastructure/index.html | title=Let's Create &#124; IBM | website=[[IBM]] | date=October 2015 }}</ref> energy, water, and environmental. IBM Smarter cities also include citizen participation through People4SmarterCities.com,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://people4smartercities.com|title=IBM Government Industry Blog - Insights on Business|date=3 February 2018|website=IBM Government Industry Blog|access-date=19 April 2018}}</ref> so they can be part of the technological advances transforming their cities.
You might not know how to make your local ecology healthier, but perhaps you work for a company that could conserve energy by consolidating servers. Or perhaps you commute to work every day and are painfully aware that the traffic is not managed well. Opportunities to make our planet cleaner, healthier and more productive are all around us. By highlighting people who have seized these opportunities and developed smarter systems to solve these problems, [[IBM]] hopes to inspire others to do the same.

Smarter Planet is a corporate initiative of the information technology company IBM.[1] The initiative was formed to encourage the ideas of business, government, and civil society leaders worldwide towards their path of achieving economic growth, near-term efficiency, sustainable development, and societal progress.[2][3] Examples of smarter systems include smart grids,[4] water management systems,[5] solutions to traffic congestion problems,[6] greener buildings,[7] IBM's goal and strategy is to use the capacity of these technology and process management capabilities and, outside the realm of technology, to advocate for policy decisions that, according to the IBM's management, could "make the planet smarter.[8]

History[edit]

Smarter Planet was officially formed in November 2008, when IBM's Chairman, CEO, and President Sam Palmisano at the Council on Foreign Relations presented a new agenda for building a "smarter planet".[9] In his speech, he emphasized how the world's systems and industries are becoming more interconnected and intelligent, and that leaders and citizens can take advantage of this state of affairs to improve these systems and industries.[10] In January 2010, Sam Palmisano gave a follow-up speech to the Chatham House called the "Decade of Smart". He highlighted dozens of initiatives in which leaders created smarter systems to solve the planet's most pressing problems. The speech aimed to inspire others to follow the leads of these innovators by helping to create a smarter planet.[11]

Smarter Planet's goal is to use the technology and intelligent systems in order to create smarter power grids, food systems, water, healthcare, and traffic systems.[12]

Advertising campaign[edit]

In 2008 and 2009, IBM ran a series of marketing campaigns[13] in newspapers such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Each of these "op-ads" featured an essay about a system or industry that IBM claims can be made "smarter" through the application of technology.[14]

In January 2010, a display at Epcot's Innoventions was installed. Its goal is to showcase how using technology can solve world problems "from reducing road traffic and city crime to improving food safety and local water supplies."[15] A video that plays on a 12-foot globe in the exhibit was created by Christian Matts [16] and edited by Ben Suenaga.[17] Smarter Planet's advertising campaign is also supporting TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Talks.[18]

Smarter cities[edit]

In 2009, IBM launched the Smarter Cities Challenge. Its goal is to aid major cities worldwide to run more efficiently, save money and resources, and improve the quality of life for their citizens.[12]

To date, Smarter Cities Challenge serves thousands of cities around the world in all areas of management[19] including public safety, health and human services, education,[20] infrastructure,[21] energy, water, and environmental. IBM Smarter cities also include citizen participation through People4SmarterCities.com,[22] so they can be part of the technological advances transforming their cities.

Examples of major cities around the world using IBM Smarter Cities technology:[23]

  1. In 2015, Surat, India implemented an emergency response solution[buzzword] using IBM Technology in Surat to advance it in India to be an advanced technological city.
  2. In 2010, Peterborough, UK, visualised the city systems using data to accelerate collaboration and better decision making.[24]
  3. In 2013, New Taipei City Police, implemented an IBM solution[buzzword] to enhance police productivity and ensuring public safety.
  4. In 2013, Tucson, Arizona, implemented a water conservation solution[buzzword] with IBM focused on smart metering and water leak detection.
  5. In 2013, Digital Delta transformed Dutch water management system using Big Data.
