IBM's solution portfolio ranges from super computers, software and services, including consulting services, to financing. In teams located around the world and in cooperation with around 100,000 business partners, IBM assists customers of a wide range of sizes with projects that go beyond national borders, while at the same time developing customised solutions which can be financed flexibly. With a company structure organised around core competences, IBM has a clear position in the market and simultaneously underlines its identity as a globally integrated company with a long-term and sustainable growth model. Flexibility, security, speed, efficiency and customer focus are all decisive factors for the IT infrastructure in competitive companies. The IT system must be dynamic, flexible and adaptable. Cloud computing is a solution already seen as the key IT strategy by more than 35 % of CIOs. With cloud computing, the IT system can be provided as a service in a virtual environment and the real net output ratio of the IT system can be reduced. Costs are only incurred for the actual use of the services, which stand out due to their high level of scalability and operating convenience. There are significant potential savings: up to 50% of the traditional IT budget. Cloud users no longer have to invest in basic infrastructure, platforms or applications, which are used inefficiently in most cases. Cloud computing provides IT services which can be used, shared and flexibly scaled in real time via data networks instead of local computers. The resources come from the metaphorical cloud. Cloud users can therefore access a multilayered IT infrastructure without having to provide this locally: new applications can be used without needing to install and maintain the software on each of the company's computers. IBM focuses on cloud solutions for companies (B2B) and supports them as a partner on the route to the cloud. Basic new strategic IT concepts are developed and change processes are initiated and accompanied. Companies can therefore become more competitive and master the current challenges of globalisation. Market researchers predict a great future for cloud computing.

The Glen Dimplex Group was founded in Ireland in 1973, and is the world’s largest manufacturer of electrically-operated heating systems. Its subsidiary, Glen Dimplex Deutschland GmbH, based in Kulmbach, is one of the leading suppliers of electrical residential heating appliances and systems. The company holds a leading position in Germany, especially in the heat pump sector. In its Kulmbach factory, the Dimplex division – with a current workforce of some 850 employees – produces innovative and environmentally friendly heat pump systems for utilising ground water, the ground and the outside air as heat sources. Dimplex has been at the cutting edge of sophisticated heat pump technology for more than 30 years, with the unmistakable “Made in Germany” mark of quality. The international DACH/EHPS seal of approval guarantees that Dimplex heat pumps meet the highest quality and energy efficiency criteria. However, Dimplex also sets its own high quality assurance standards. The Dimplex test laboratory for heat pumps was among the first in Germany to be certified by the VDE (German Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies). A uniform quality management system according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and an environmental management system according to the international standard DIN EN ISO 14001 round off this high degree of quality assurance. In 2009, Dimplex entered the domestic ventilation market as a further step on its way to becoming a complete systems provider for renewable energy solutions. In doing so, Dimplex is consistently responding to the growing requirement for controlled ventilation technology as a whole, and committing itself to meeting the increasing demand for comprehensive system solutions. Close networking within the Dimplex group of companies means that an excellent network of contacts, experience and references, as well as a highly innovative research team, is always on call.

Special competence is available in the field of control systems ensuring optimum control of the energy supply in domestic engineering. Thus, by providing control for thermal storage heaters, emz in turn provides intelligence for these energy storage available. The emz controls ensure: - storage of ecological energy when it is available - distribution of ecological energy depending on priority - utilization of ecological energy depending on requirement In the field of regenerative energies, emz controllers are, moreover, ground-breaking for thermosolar plants. Optimizing the pump runtimes and substantially reducing boiler recharge helps to save energy and to utilize the available and expected solar radiation in the best possible way, permitting energy savings of 15 %. By offering product families such as the “smartSol“, emz intends to contribute towards creating the modern “smart home“. emz’s developments aim at optimizing the interaction between regenerative energies such as sun on the one hand and conventional energy sources such as oil or gas on the other hand, so that the conventional energy sources are used only exceptionally. In addition to developing a variety of specific products, emz also cooperates at a fundamental level. This includes sporadic, comprehensive cooperations with universities and institutes. The MoDino project has just been completed, which provides, in cooperation with Regensburg University, new and user-friendly interfaces for controllers used in domestic engineering. Such cooperations are to make sure that emz also remains a front runner, technically speaking, in the future. Because this is the only way the company from Nabburg can uphold what it claims to be in its mission statement: “Idea generator for our customers.” For more details visit: www.emz-hanauer.de
