Follow-up - Indonesia Team 3, Transportation Agency continues to work with IBM

I thought this was worth posting and passing on, Javier and I recently received an email from the IBM office in Indonesia.  It seems the Transportation Agency has reached out to IBM for additional information regarding some of the Smart City solutions.  In the words of an IBM Manager contact in Jakarta in a separate Sametime message, it's an "Opportunity after your (our) great CSC work".   #ibmcsc

Dear All,
(NOTE: Translater used to translate from Indonesian to English)

I met with Transportation Agency team, sharing and discussing Streetline Solution. They said it is nice to have  solution for now, since the most concerning is how to manage the traffic better and inteligently. With only 10% of annual budget ($100K) given, they must serve the community better which mostly they expend it on maintenance and unable to use it to run any solution. As you may know that the decision maker is on Mayor's hand, we need to share live to him and let him feel the benefit of the solution, thus the chance is going bigger to get approval. 

FYI, I took below image from IBM Office this morning and you can see the traffic in one of the main street. Now we know why they're concerned about traffic.
