Creating innovative solutions

We use our technology to create real, positive change in the world. Whether we are introducing children in underserved communities to the excitement of coding, or showing cities how to use data to manage their resources more efficiently, we work for better answers and better ideas.

We deliver on the promise of the digital world. One student at a time.

We’re bringing technology and innovative learning to communities that might not otherwise have the opportunity to explore their full potential. We’ve provided more than 100,000 middle- and high-school students with technology training, mentoring, opportunities and connectivity in 2015.

The Internet of Things creates even more opportunities.

Integrating data and technology seamlessly into people’s lives has tremendous potential in addressing significant societal challenges. We offer IoT products and services that delivered a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking more than 1 million cars off the road.

Technology is
essential to a
low-carbon
future.

We understand that a connected world is a more sustainable world.

We have committed to cutting our carbon intensity in half by 2020. Since 2009, we reduced our carbon intensity by roughly 40 percent.

When purpose is
aspirational, we
can achieve
great things.

We’re creating a place where talented people come to collaborate, inspire one another and achieve a purpose – for work, for life, for our world. And when we succeed, it’s because our team of employees succeeds – not just at work, but in life.
