The work
-
Acquire
Get the right support data into programmes, contracts and delivery before the wrong assumptions lock in.
-
Assure
Make sure that data is fit for purpose, governed and usable across the supply chain, not just stored.
-
Exploit
Turn support data into answers on cost, availability, risk and the decisions that follow.
What this is
A single day for the people who acquire, implement and operationalise Integrated Product Support data.
Independent and delegate-funded. No sales pitches. No product theatre. Just the work of making support data earn its keep.
The day
-
Briefing, 08:30
Independent market intelligence to open the day. What the defence customer is doing, where the specifications are going, and what the supply chain is facing.
You leave with a clearer picture of the market you are working in.
-
Masterclass, 10:00
One deep session on making support data work in practice. Worked through properly, not talked through from slides.
You leave with an approach you can take back to your programme.
-
Sessions, 14:00
Industry experts and customer case studies. Real programmes, real decisions, and what happened when those decisions met reality.
You leave with lessons you can recognise in your own work.
Why this event exists
Many industry events rely on vendor sponsorship. That can narrow the conversation around products and pitches.
This day is funded by the people in the room. That keeps the focus on shared problems and practical answers.
Who builds this
Make Data Work is from Tech Data World: independent IPS and S-Series training and consulting for programmes that need clear judgement and workable support data.
You will typically meet programme and commercial staff, engineers and authors, data managers, and defence customer representatives who care about the outcome.
