The theme

Service in the age of globalization, rapid

change/response and smart assets:
In this complex business climate smart assets are making
it possible to spread intelligence into everything from
power lines to oil wells, railroads and assembly lines. The
challenge is how do you choreograph these entities and
deliver on the first attempt, the service with a quality
that the customer expects and the flexibility the business
needs?

The successful business needs smarter assets,

flexible business processes and services on
demand weaved into a loosely coupled fabric.
