“Effectively sharing information and actionable intelligence is vital to our Nation’s national security, counterterrorism and law enforcement agencies. Our biggest leaps forward will come from insights gleaned through perpetual, real-time analysis of data. At IBM, a sustaining IJIS member, we value the opportunity to partner with the IJIS Institute and our federal, state and local clients in these critically important mission areas.

IBM is leading the way toward a smarter planet — working directly with our clients to reduce crime, strengthen counterterrorism capabilities and protect citizens and infrastructure - often in cost-constrained environments. We partner with law enforcement and other agency leaders to strengthen public safety and national security by transforming data into actionable information and intelligence. From advanced video and data analytics to real-time interoperability and collaboration — our mission is to help our clients meet theirs.

The biggest leaps forward in the next several decades will come from insights gleaned through perpetual, real-time analysis of data.

With nearly 2 billion people on the Internet (and counting), and with more and more of the world’s systems becoming digitally aware, there is greater diversity in the forms and shapes data is taking—transactions of every kind, rich media, social media. More data than ever is being generated, and at far greater speeds.

Yet, while data is growing at an exponential rate, time is not. Which is why no organization, city or country can afford “enterprise amnesia.”

And that is why the new science of analytics must be core to every leader’s thinking. This is not about volume. The key to moving from “big data” to smarter data is to organize your information, in all its diversity; to understand its context; and to manage its evolution.

Any data point, by itself, is just about useless. But when you see it in context, analyze that context in real time—and can automatically capture the connections that one piece of data is itself making with other pieces of data—then you have a smart system.

Smarter data, delivered in real time, lets us keep pace with a world where risk and opportunity are constantly in flux. Rather than relying on snapshots of the past, our decisions can be real-time, fact-based projections.

A world of smart data offers enormous hope. It also raises important issues relating to privacy and security. But fortunately, as thousands of forward-thinking leaders today are discovering, data’s hidden meanings increase transparency, sustainability and knowledge. Which is turning a bold predicting into a promising reality.

Let’s build a smarter planet. Join us at ibm.com/smarterplanet.
