The Future of Asset Management - Consolidation and Convergence
Thursday, Dec 6, 2007
Description: IBM sees a future where two market drivers, consolidation and convergence, are influencing the management of critical IT and operating assets. The first trend is centered on the needs of IT organizations to become more efficient while improving the quality of services they deliver. A key avenue in this pursuit is system and vendor consolidation. In the world of asset management most companies today rely on many solutions from multiple vendors, each used to address the needs of separate departments and functions and each used for different types of assets. The second trend is one of asset convergence, where operating or industrial assets are increasingly dependent on IT infrastructure. In this scenario, operating assets are connected to or actually embed IT components in a way that significantly increases the complexity of asset management. This session describes the views of IBM relating to these two trends.
