solid experience working on large-scale projects
for military clients and because of its reputation
for building pragmatic technology solutions.
Client background
A complex Defence information technology
project, development of CAMM2 required
close collaboration between Accenture and
the ADF. Accenture was responsible for design
and implementation of the system as well as
acquisition and configuration of third-party
products used in the system. Accenture also
created training both to support the rollout and
for continuing operations. Even today, Accenture
continues to provide system support, including
responding to user support requests, system
maintenance and development of software
releases, including some system enhancements.
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is responsible
for the maintenance and deployment of more
than 500 aircraft across all three services—the
Royal Australian Air Force, Army and Navy.
Technologically sophisticated, the ADF maintains
a force of 51,000 full-time active-duty personnel
and 19,000 reservists.

How Accenture helped
A core requirement of the CAMM2 system was to
support deployed aviation operations. The system
provides a man portable standalone system
specifically designed to meet the requirements of
deployment to forward areas of operation.

About Accenture
When it was successfully rolled out
to the Air Force, Army and Navy in
2006, the CAMM2 system provided the
Australian Defence Force aviation with an
advanced and effective tool for managing
maintenance in a way that meets ADF
aviation logistics and maintenance
requirements. The new system also helps
reduce the need for any paperwork
in relation to aircraft maintenance
management. Automated support tools
also allow a user with limited training
to operate, maintain and upgrade the
system while on deployment.
