About and contact
A practice of SAS Asset Management.
SAS Asset Management advises Australian organisations on analytics and the decisions they make about their assets. Applied Intelligence is where that discipline meets AI, for businesses of every size.
Where we come from
We learnt this in places where a mistake is expensive.
Our clients have run trains, ferries, water plants and hospitals. In that work a wrong number can stop a service or put someone at risk, so everything we produce has to be checked and explained.
We brought the same habits to AI. Measure first. Keep a person accountable. Write down why a decision was made. It turns out a growing business needs those habits as much as a rail operator does.
We are selective about the work we take. We would rather tell you that you are not ready than sell you a project that will stall.
