📊 📈 The Power of Real-Time Visualisation in Corporate Storytelling In today’s world of fragmented media, clarity and authenticity in storytelling are more essential than ever. EXTAG Lan Tran recently joined the Rio Tinto Capability Development 2024 Forum panel to discuss impactful storytelling. One insightful comment from the Rio Tinto audience highlighted a key trend — the growing use of visualisation in corporate storytelling. Spot on! Graphs, charts, and dashboards have become game-changers in conveying stories in real time. These tools transform corporate communication by making data accessible, interactive, and easier to explore. But effective data storytelling doesn’t stop at discovery; it’s about driving meaningful action. A well-crafted dashboard isn’t just data on a screen — it’s a narrative that guides stakeholders toward insights and impactful decisions. 📸 Pictured ↴ 🎤 Day 1 Story Telling Panel: Lan Tran [EXTAG - Custom Asset Management System] Kevin Bynder [Nyungatji Designs] Jessica Bailey [Black & Bold] Simon Carabetta [East Metropolitan Health Service] Moderator Paul Sorensen [Principal Advisor Training, Capability Development, Rio Tinto] 🎤 Day 2 EXTAG Lan with Storm Nuttall [Program Lead - Centralised Training Hub, Rio Tinto] #Storytelling #DigitalTransformation #BusinessIntelligence

👁️🗨️ G’Day USA – Australia-US Defence Industry Dialogue 2024 For 75 years, the American Australian Association has strengthened ties between the US and Australia. 🇦🇺🇺🇸 The annual Defence Industry Dialogue held the day after the Association of the United States Army - AUSA expo in Washington, D.C. continues this legacy, bringing together top leaders from both nations’ defence sectors to foster collaboration in the AUKUS era. Keynotes by HE The Hon Dr. Kevin Rudd AC, Chris Deeble, Frederick Stefany, and Air Marshal Leon Phillips OAM set the stage for discussions on bilateral collaboration, navigating a license-free environment, supply chain uplift, and advanced manufacturing. The speakers emphasised the critical role of cooperation in safeguarding security amid today’s complex global landscape. Key insights: 🔺 Ambassador Kevin Rudd highlighted the opportunities for Australian industry under AUKUS Pillar 2 and underscored the significance of the 'US Defence Production Act' for Australian businesses. Rudd called for decisive leadership, urging both governments to “have the guts to change reality” and actively support sovereign capability. 🔺 Chris Deeble (Deputy Secretary of Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG) in the Department of Defence of Australia) and other senior leaders led panel discussions on leadership challenges, focusing on overcoming bureaucratic inertia to drive impactful change. 🔺 In discussions on trilateral AUKUS relations, EXTAG Brian Cantor raised a key question: How can SMEs effectively navigate and secure contracts within this evolving framework? #AUKUS #SovereignCapability #AUSA24 #TeamDefenceAustralia #Defence

EXTAG Quokka tuning in to Rio Tinto’s panel on enhancing frontline workforce efficiency through digital transformation at the recent WA Mining Conference & Exhibition. Some key takeaways 👀 🔺 SAP as a Single Source of Truth  Trust in data is built on data ownership at Rio Tinto. 🔺 Adaptability is Key Progressive deployment is essential for digital transformation across the frontline, with adaptability being critical to Rio Tinto’s approach. 🔺 Transformation Timeline  Rio Tinto's recent digital transformation journey revealed that it can take over 12 months from initial discussions to a purchase order, with an additional 2-3 years for testing and acceptance. Very insightful! 🐾 Originally introduced by Defence West (and the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation) at the Land Forces International Land Defence Exposition 2024, EXTAG Quokka has since been accompanying EXTAG - Custom Asset Management System, tuning into market pulse and sentiment. #Mining #DigitalTransformation #SaaS

DAY 1 - WA Mining Conference & Exhibition The resource sector is the backbone of our nation’s prosperity, and we hit the ground running at the expo — our stand was buzzing with visitors within the first hour! For EXTAG - Custom Asset Management System, two key insights around predictive maintenance in optimising operations stood out today: ▶️ Future-proofing the industry! With a number of mines transitioning to 'care and maintenance', now is the time to establish a robust maintenance schedule that ensures operations can be restarted efficiently and cost-effectively when markets support production again. ▶️ Digital transformation is about people and data! While technology is the enabler, true transformation happens when people are empowered to collect and use data effectively. By equipping teams with the right tools, we streamline processes and ensure that data-driven insights lead to faster, smarter decisions—ultimately maximising operational efficiency. 📸 Pictured ↴ ⭐ EXTAG - Custom Asset Management System, Sentient Computing, Global Drone Solutions and EcoQuip Australia exhibiting at CORE Innovation Zone, curated by CORE Innovation Hub. ⭐ EXTAG Lan Tran with Chris Brown, Peter Why and Troy Wyatt. ⭐ EXTAG CTO and Founder, Gabe Alves, explains our unique point of difference. #SaaS #DigitalTransformation #Mining
