关于客户
过去 80 年来，Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. 从一家由保单持有人拥有的小型互助汽车保险公司成长为全球最大的保险和金融服务公司之一，法定资产超过 1350 亿美元。Nationwide 总部位于俄亥俄州哥伦布市，拥有 5,000 多名 IT 员工，分布在全国各地。该公司需要提高其市场响应能力，因为其在高度监管的行业中高度依赖技术，而且变化速度非常快。新产品和服务需要上市，这使得软件交付生命周期与业务成功息息相关。
挑战
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. 是全球最大的保险和金融服务公司之一，需要提高其市场响应能力。该公司高度依赖技术，面临着快速发展、高度监管的行业，需要快速交付新产品和服务。十年前，Nationwide 主要使用瀑布式开发方法来创建其会员、客户和代理商在线使用的软件产品。然而，软件需求和瀑布式方法的产品交付之间的差距导致了 IT 和业务之间的裂痕。Nationwide 认识到通过大规模采用精益和敏捷实践可以为企业实现的价值，因此开始从瀑布式转向敏捷开发。
解决方案
Nationwide 聘请 IBM 为其敏捷转型提供支持，并帮助其在分布式和大型机环境中采用 DevOps 方法进行应用程序开发和交付。Nationwide 已在 IT、业务线和整个交付生命周期以及包括现有大型机、分布式系统和商业智能数据解决方案在内的技术领域实施了敏捷实践。使用 DevOps 方法，Nationwide 现在可以每天多次执行其代码的持续集成和持续部署到其开发环境中。团队还可以在与开发相同的迭代中对客户要求进行验收测试。他们可以近乎实时地向客户展示开发人员正在开发的内容。这种几乎即时的反馈有助于确保正在生产的产品能够满足客户的需求。

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
