IBM CORPORATION in Smart Gas Solutions

IBM has emphasized on tapping into the opportunities in analytics through product development, in order to meet the business needs across different industry verticals. For instance, IBM has entered into a partnership agreement with PPL Corporation to predict which customers would cater to which energy usage group by gaining insight from 32-terabytes of data across 1.5 million smart meters, every 15 minutes. PPL Corporation, an energy company, and IBM collaborated to build the IBM Data Model for energy and utilities. Furthermore, IBM focused on inorganic growth strategy through partnerships and collaborations with technology partners, to strengthen its capabilities in IoT for real-time monitoring. For instance, IBM and Edelia, a provider of services for remote measurement and management of energy consumption (electricity, water, gas, and renewables), launched a solution that assists consumers and operators on remote communication and monitoring of consumer energy consumption.
