We are experiencing the reality of global integration.
The world is connected
ECONOMICALLY.
SOCIALLY.

A series of shocks:
Climate change
Energy
geopolitics
Global supply

Financial Crisis
Plus rapidly evolving and ongoing significant trends:
Changing
demographics
Empowered consumers
and citizens
Impact of technology
…because intelligence is being infused into the way the
world works.
Our world is becoming
INSTRUMENTED.
Our world is becoming
INTERCONNECTED.
Virtually all things, processes and
ways of working are becoming
INTELLIGENT.

=
An opportunity to think and act in new ways.
Smarter cities are working to infuse

Smarter transportation: Client
transformations
Stockholm implemented an intelligent
toll system in the city center, which resulted
in 20% less traffic, 40% lower emissions
and 40,000 additional users of the public
transportation system.
To encourage citizens to use multiple modes
of transportation and make it easier to align
the cost of transit with its impact on the
environment, the Singapore Land
Transport Authority implemented fare
management with smart cards that can be
used to pay for buses, trains, taxis, road-use
charging and parking.
