The Australian Defence Force (ADF) operates at a scale and complexity few organisations can match. With more than 130,000 users, Defence replaced hundreds of disconnected systems with a unified SAP landscape to create a single source of accurate, near real-time information.
On this foundation, Defence has taken the next step: using artificial intelligence and machine learning to shift from reactive maintenance to predictive readiness. By integrating SAP data with sensor inputs across critical assets, Defence is building resilience and ensuring mission-critical performance.
This session goes beyond Defence to offer lessons any business can apply. Whether your assets are military, industrial, or digital, discover how simplification at scale and AI-driven insights can transform reliability and readiness.
