关于客户
这个国家政府机构的职责范围很广，包括提供金融、货币政策和边境执法服务。然而，对于该国居民来说，该机构最出名的是其作为国家所得税征收机构的角色。运营国家级税收征收和财务处理需要该机构做出重大的服务交付承诺。因此，35,000 多名员工提供客户服务和金融交易支持，帮助处理来自居民以及在该国生活和工作的外籍人士的数百万年度所得税申报表。
挑战
该机构最近完成了向 Cisco® 应用中心基础设施 (ACI) 软件定义网络 (SDN) 的迁移，该网络可提供 40GB 的更高链路速度。虽然技术转换本身已经完成，但区域 IT 团队随后发现自己正在努力解决这个新 SDN 环境中的可见性限制，特别是涉及更新的 40GB 网络链路和数据中心运营。除了希望可视化升级后的性能外，参与该项目的另一个 IT 团队还专注于保护这些 SDN 链路的完整性和可用性。对于 IT 团队来说，这项工作至关重要，因为这些高速互联网链路支持面向客户的税务和金融交易，而这些交易经常成为网络攻击的目标。
解决方案
该机构为这个分为两个阶段的项目确定了一个单一供应商解决方案，NETSCOUT® 提供：一种“无边界可视性”方法，该方法利用 InfiniStreamNG (ISNG) 和数据包流交换机 (PFS) 数据源来弥补网络链路和数据中心盲点，从而提供对其新 Cisco ACI SDN 环境、40GB 网络链路和互联网服务性能的视图。升级后的网络和数据中心运营的性能分析，nGeniusONE 服务保障平台使用由 PFS 技术提供的 ISNG 生成的智能数据来实时监控此环境。网络链路和互联网服务安全保护，在网络边界（即互联网路由器和防火墙之间）部署 Arbor Edge Defense (AED) 内联安全设备来保护 Cisco ACI 环境以及纳税人应用服务的性能和完整性。

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Safety First with Folksam
The competitiveness of the car insurance market is driving UBI growth as a means for insurance companies to differentiate their customer propositions as well as improving operational efficiency. An insurance model - usage-based insurance ("UBI") - offers possibilities for insurers to do more efficient market segmentation and accurate risk assessment and pricing. Insurers require an IoT solution for the purpose of data collection and performance analysis

Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.

MasterCard Improves Customer Experience Through Self-Service Data Prep
Derek Madison, Leader of Business Financial Support at MasterCard, oversees the validation of transactions and cash between two systems, whether they’re MasterCard owned or not. He was charged with identifying new ways to increase efficiency and improve MasterCard processes. At the outset, the 13-person team had to manually reconcile system interfaces using reports that resided on the company’s mainframe. Their first order of business each day was to print 20-30 individual, multi-page reports. Using a ruler to keep their place within each report, they would then hand-key the relevant data, line by line, into Excel for validation. “We’re talking about a task that took 40-80 hours each week,” recalls Madison, “As a growing company with rapidly expanding product offerings, we had to find a better way to prepare this data for analysis.”
