Bangalore: IBM India Software Lab (ISL) has unveiled real world technologies at its 'Made in IBM Labs Day' held at the IBM Hyderabad office on April 7, 2009. The technologies demonstrated have been created from scratch at the IBM India Software Lab to address common challenges that touch human lives. IBM believes that the world's infrastructure is transforming and increasingly becoming instrumented, interconnected and intelligent. This means that almost anything in the world can become digitally aware and our systems and objects will soon begin to 'speak' with each other. The Made in IBM Labs day showcased some of the latest technologies developed at the India labs including medical analytics platform (MAP), drug pedigree and traceability solutions, threat and fraud detection using entity analytics and trusted identity solution. "Interconnected technologies are changing the way the world works these days. It can be an idea, a simple change in strategy or an improvement in the present operational style which brings about changes and newer perspectives in businesses that touch human lives. Being only connected is not sufficient. We have to infuse intelligence into our systems and ways of working. There is a pressing mandate for change today. We have to work towards building a smarter planet. IBM has taken the first steps towards this by working on technologies such as these which make a difference to the common man," said Dr Ponani Gopalakrishnan, Vice President, IBM India Software Lab.
