Topic: How UK Water Utilities are Solving a 100-Year-Old Leakage Problem with Data Science and IBM
Session ID: 3376A
Date, Time & Location: Tuesday, March 20, 2018 | 10:30 AM – 11:10 AM | Breakers H
Speakers: Mark Deighton, Capgemini | Brandon Mackenzie, IBM | Kevin McIntyre, IBM
Description: Learn how to radically improve water leakage detection without capital investment. 30%+ of drinkable water is lost to leaks. UK water utilities are radically transforming leak detection and location using the data they already possess. Smart data science powered by Capgemini on the IBM Watson Data Platform delivers over 80% accuracy in leak detection using existing SCADA data together with IBM Intelligent Operations Center—the foundations of a Smart Water Network. In this session, we will present how we took seven years of historical data to identify the “signature” of a leak and enable operations teams to move from reactive to proactive repair processes; and how we are adapting the model to tackle other business challenges.

Topic: Watson Conversation and Customer Engagement: Two Real-Life Stories
Session ID: 3525A
Date, Time & Location: Wednesday, March 21, 2018 | 12:30 PM – 1:10 PM | Mandalay Bay South, Level 2- Lagoon E
Speakers: Ben Rose, nib NZ Ltd | Saugata Ghosh, Capgemini
Description: nib is the second-largest health insurance provider in New Zealand, thrives on embracing New Zealand’s diversity and serving new customers profiles in new ways. Instrumental to this strategy, nib’s website features Frankie, a virtual consultant that works 24/7 to provide immediate answers to customers about their health insurance coverage, claims, etc. On the other side of the globe, SAS, a leading European airline, leverages the power of Watson Conversation to enable the Pepper robot to automatically answer flight booking queries. This session presents the experiences and lessons in creating the solutions, both built through strong partnerships between the customers, Capgemini/Sogeti and IBM.

Topic: Using AI to Comply with GDPR
Session ID: 8981A
Date, Time & Location: Wednesday, March 21, 2018 | 9:30 AM – 10:10 AM | Surf A
Speakers: Alex Wortmann, Capgemini
Description: The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) poses significant obligations to all organizations that process the personal data of EU citizens. For instance, personal data must be deleted when legal grounds do not exist for keeping it. Many organizations face significant challenges to determine which personal data they can keep and for what purpose, especially when it comes to unstructured data. In this session, Capgemini will demonstrate how IBM’s AI solutions can assist organizations with discovering and classifying unstructured, personal data, in order to help your organization become GDPR-compliant. Furthermore, I will demonstrate an Expert Assist tool that is capable of answering questions about GDPR in natural language.

Topic: Joining Virtual and Physical Worlds for an Optimized Production Phase
Session ID: 9076A
Date, Time & Location: Wednesday, March 21, 2018 | 3:30 PM – 4:10 PM | Surf A
Speakers: Alexander Hesseler, Capgemini | Murat Aksu, Capgemini
Description: Up until a few years ago, the following functions lived in their own parallel, yet siloed worlds: asset management, asset health, operational efficiency, supply chain, production quality and product quality. Each world had its own experts who were the masters of their domains. In the new world of connectivity and IoT, these domains quickly collapsed, creating an explosion of available data. The good news is that we now have tools and methods to augment the capabilities of experts and achieve greater product quality than ever before. Digital twins contain all relevant information, and, combined with the usage of cognitive services like visual inspection, our customers can bring the quality of their products to the next level.

Description: As the world is facing a tremendous shift in cybersecurity threats, Security Operations Centers need to shift their paradigm at a very fast pace. Based on the testimonial of Ethias’ CISO, Sogeti will describe the journey we took to bring their SOC to the next level of efficiency, leveraging the best cybersecurity toolset from IBM. From the specific setup of IBM QRadar SIEM and its different modules, to adding on the Watson for Cybersecurity cognitive engine, we will describe how we achieved a 50%+ gain in terms of incident response, and Ethias will explain the ROI they got from a risk mitigation standpoint. Don’t miss this joint client/partner testimonial demonstrating the strengths of the next-gen SOC powered by IBM.

Topic: Attack Simulation and Security Monitoring with IBM Technology for Advanced SOCs
Session ID: 3524A
Date, Time & Location: Thursday, March 22, 2018 | 10:30 AM – 11:10 AM | Breakers E
Speakers: Geert van der Linden, Capgemini
Description: Many enterprises have already implemented a SIEM, yet have failed to reach the expected benefits because of the complexity of evolving security threats. The lesson is clear: enterprise cybersecurity must also evolve. By working with trusted security partners, enterprises can stay ahead of the curve to proactively assess risks with a solution that is robust, yet not rigid; that is powerful yet intelligent. Attend this session to learn how to help your enterprise identify and preempt sophisticated attacks.
