You’re at a station in an unfamiliar city on business and your

train is delayed

Your smart phone, aware of the delay, alerts you to the fact that

you will be late for your scheduled meeting

It offers to direct you to a bus stop, calculating that you can still

arrive on time by taking the next bus

Instead you decide use an app on your phone that contacts local

cab firms and automatically orders a car from the company that can

get to you fastest

The cab locates you by GPS, gets you to your meeting on

time, and the fare is paid automatically via your phone

It’s all about the data warehouse

“Portable and mobile devices in people’s hands are a great way to help customers benefit from

our data. Our challenge is to get information to people in a way that helps them make their

journeys better, faster, and less stressful.”
