June

The company today said in a press release that it has developed an out of the box dashboard that will simplify projects, cut cost and dramatically shorten time to value related services to both hospital administration and patients care.

China Mobile is working on a back end system based on cloud computing technology, which it has dubbed “Big Cloud”. This includes data mining systems for China Mobile’s mobile search service and a business intelligence system to track user behavior.

August

IBM Analytics Centre in Beijing. IBM announced last August that it would open an advanced business analytics centre in Beijing that will serve clients including the Chinese government. This centre joins a worldwide network of others in cities such as Berlin, Tokyo, London, New York and Washington, D.C. China was the first to be based in a developing country.

The company has stated that the China centre will at first focus on products aimed at traffic, water and electrical grid management.

“A major stimulus opportunity in China, transportation infrastructure such as new high speed trains, a hugely expanded rail network and faster links between the country’s major cities are in development. This center will bring together research experts, major universities, partners and clients to develop best practices for rail systems that are smarter, more efficient, greener and attractive for travelers all around the globe.”

They also said that other centres are planned in China.

Activities by the centre have included:

  • Building a cloud computing platform in the city of Dongying (in the Yellow River Delta) as a model for how local government and businesses can modernize in China. Chinese economic stimulus funds are fueling the project, which is expected to be duplicated in other cities. The Yellow River Delta Cloud Computing Center will serve as a central platform for developing software that automates the petroleum production supply chain. It will be used to expand e-government services in Dongying and will serve as a technology center through which Chinese software engineers will supply outsourcing services. Clients for the first of three planned phases include Sanyo and Dupont. In the second phase the Dongying City Government will use cloud software to supply government services and administer “a smart airport, smart parks, and smart railroads.”. A third phase would extend into the cities health care services.
  • In September it was announced that IBM, the City of Shenyang, and China’s Northeastern University were embarking on a major “smart city” collaboration effort focused on enabling Shenyang to improve the lives of its citizens by meeting its environmental responsibility goals.

“The Collaboratory will focus on advancing technology solutions that: significantly reduce carbon emissions, conserve energy, manage water efficiently, effectively track food from farm to fork, enhance the intelligence of transportation and traffic systems, create environmental emergency response plans, and allow a proactive approach to environmental responsibility vs. reactive.”

  • It is known that local telco China Mobile Communications Corporation has been working closely with IBM’s China Telecommunications Solutions Center to deploy a  business intelligence platform that supports service creation, deployment, execution, integration and management. IBM claims that China Mobile is now able to reduce time-to-market for new products, increase revenue and improve customer service with end-to-end monitoring and analysis. It is not known if the business analytics centre in Beijing is involved.

The Beijing center will employ up to 300 consultants, mathematicians and software specialists at first and recruit or retrain up to 300 more as demand grows. It is unclear if any of these are new jobs but a portion are ‘reassigned’ existing IBM consultants and scientists.
