The new system – the Department of Defence’s first
software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution – will enable the Department
to receive up-to-date NATO codification data and develop new supply
chain processes and procedures. Codification is crucial for defence
organisations to accurately identify, classify and number items of
supply and to manage defence logistics.
Working with multiple stakeholders across various geographies,
the integrated project team – led by Defence, working closely with
Accenture and AURA – introduced the codification capabilities and
integrated the new technology with internal systems to ensure
unique functional requirements. NATO compliance testing was
undertaken to ensure the technology was able to successfully
communicate with the defence agencies of other nations and the
relevant NATO agencies.
“Accenture is proud to have had the opportunity to work
alongside Defence and AURA to deliver this project focused on
achieving maximum effectiveness in logistics support,” said Matt
Gollings, managing director for Accenture’s Defence business [in
Australia]. Critical to project success was the skilled team of
industry specialists and a highly collaborative delivery approach
between Defence and its multiple industry partners.”
As systems integrator on the 12-month project, Accenture
established the system design, undertook the data migration
activity from the existing system testing activities, and deployed
the new solution.
