Although very mature, the Defence and National Security industry continuously strives for greater efficiency and effectiveness. Defence organisations constantly evolve and adapt their specialised technologies, introducing software and equipment which reduces their reliance upon human intervention and facilitates compliance.
Reconciling technology and organisational performance within this environment is extremely challenging. It requires a comprehensive understanding of the industry as well as specialist technological and business services capabilities.
Since the mid-90's, SMS has been delivering outstanding outcomes to Defence and National Security organisations in Australia, the Asia/Pacific region and, more recently, the United Kingdom. In fact, approximately 20% of our entire business is in this sector, and we have more than 100 consultants with Defence experience.
As a result, we've developed a diverse and in-depth understanding of Defence operational requirements, as well as international expertise in systems and processes regarded as best practice by leading Defence agencies. In particular, we possess specialist expertise in capability development, large scale programme and project management, enterprise architecture and IT strategy development , logistics, strategy development, national security and occupational health and safety within the defence environment.
