AI/ML Analytics SAS

The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) oversees the lifecycle management of over 120,000 assets.

Previous reliance on Excel-based models and manual processing limited team collaboration and the development of predictive capabilities. Utilising SAS Viya, Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) transitioned to AI-driven simulation models, enabling predictive and prescriptive analytics to optimise asset management. Now recognised as an advanced asset management model in government, hear how DIO have demonstrated data-driven decision-making, and advanced analytical capabilities across government.
