Everything an organisation does generates data. Whether planning strategies, allocating resources, moving people or communicating decisions across its workforce.
The challenge comes with effectively managing this vast sea of data in order to make better strategic decisions and reduce costs. Thankfully, help is at hand. The computing models and advanced analytics we have today allow us to unlock the information contained within an organisation and transform it into actionable intelligence.
In the Defence sector, this means we can enhance visibility into resource allocation and utilisation. We can manage logistics, warehousing and inventory more effectively. We can provide secure, real time information to enable faster, more accurate decisions in the battle space saving time, money and lives.
Modern Defence Forces must evolve to gain and maintain a position of advantage over all threats:
| FROM | TO |
|---|---|
| Information silos | SOA-based architectures |
| Selective collaboration | Sharing collaboratively |
| Near-real time data exchange | Real time data exchange |
| Proliferating battlespace sensors | Intelligent sensor network |
| Massive networks with multiple vulnerabilities | End-to-end secured networks |
| Target-focused operations | Effects-based operations |
