2 Topics Industry Forces and product development needs Technology to enable change - Smarter Computing Engineering and IT Transformation Centralization vs. Cloud Implications and Next Steps 2

3 Dramatic forces across the Automotive industry create opportunities to enhance & transform product development Automotive Industry Forces: Sophisticated consumers driving demand for innovative and sustainable vehicles New technologies and capabilities making vehicles more intelligent Rapidly integrating enterprises driving increasingly dynamic operations Increased globalization driving more integration within automotive companies Consumer, regulatory & environmental requirements driving the creation of collaborative partner ecosystems to innovate Product Development Essentials: Data is king. It is the design IP and state of control. Design coherency must be maintained. Design content must be strategically placed and available. All available insight must be gained from data. Skills are critical & secure collaboration is essential. Designers can not be locked to a project or location. Collaborate securely across company borders Remotely access resources as needed. Improved innovation and time to insight are IT resource dependent. Private, siloed resources are unacceptable. Computing resources must be pooled and allocated based on availability and fit. Reprioritized or released when finished. Smarter Computing for Product Development is the technology response to these forces 3

4 CEOs believe technology will be at the forefront of driving change through 2015* 71% of CEOs identify technology change as the most important external force impacting their organizations * Is your infrastructure optimized for the greatest efficiency of all your applications and resources? Does your infrastructure enable you to provide rich, actionable insight? Are you leveraging new technologies mobile, social, cloud to deliver an excellent customer experience at every touchpoint? * IBM, Leading Through Connections: Insights from the Global Chief Executive Officer Study, May

5 The real question Will your infrastructure block or enable change? Only 1 in 5 clients have highly efficient IT infrastructures allocating 50% more of their IT budget to new projects IBM, Data center operational efficiency best practices, April 2012.

6 The world is changing. Is your infrastructure ready? The time is now to 70% of IT budget is devoted to operations and maintenance 1 Connected devices will surge to 22 billion by , with digital content rocketing to 8 zettabytes by 2015 (90% unstructured) 3 Leverage cloud to speed time to market and improve efficiency Unlock the power of big data to deliver more actionable insight The average IT infrastructure is attacked nearly 60,000 times every day 4 Secure critical information to protect and reduce risk 1 IDC, Game Changing Virtual Technology: Major Shifts and Innovations that will Forever Change your IT Business 2 Forrester, BT 2020: To Thrive In The Empowered Era, You ll Need Software, Software Everywhere, Phil Murphy, January 30, IDC, IDC Predictions 2012: Competing for 2020, Doc #231720, December 2011, 4 IBM X-Force Research 6

7 Infrastructure blocks rather than enables change when... Data is siloed, outdated, redundant, unavailable, not secure Applications are difficult to use, not integrated, rigid Operations are expensive, ineffective Infrastructure is capital intensive, complex, outdated, inconsistent Skills are locked to location and not able to be applied as needed Smarter Computing for Product Development and can help companies transform their design chain to develop products better, faster and cheaper. 7

8 A Smarter Computing approach to product development results in focus areas for infrastructure change Remote user access - supporting anytime, anywhere, collaborative work Design Management & Process Control systems on consolidated, virtualized servers for reduced cost, greater agility, scalability, efficiency, and availability Application Systems Business & Engineering Desktops Technical Computing Systems Compute intensive applications, such as Design Analysis, Big Data Insights & 3D visualization, on Technical Computing clusters - for improved analytical and operational insight 8 Storage Systems Global file systems and scalable storage (block & file) for central control and worldwide access to valid data
