Hi, My Name in Simon Thompson and I'm a
Director here at Acquire Procurement Services
and one of the things that our clients have been 
asking us
for a little while is...
"How do we"
visualise data in different ways
using new technology
instead of just using PowerPoint, Excel
or 2D charts
and how do we have better conversations
with the business and 
also the supplier base
about costs of items and
also services
so, something we have been 
playing around with is
Augmented Reality
if you have seen Pokemon Go
and people taking about that
or Google Glasses
there is 
a whole lot of work being done in 
Augmented Reality
and we thought we would give this go
and see how do incorporate more information
into an interactive format
and from a Procurement perspective
how do we have a better conversation with the operations
it is not just showing
the actual item but also
how do we incorporate more information
about this specific product
into this format
one of the things we have here is
that we can push this button here
and see what is the cost
of that tray
and we can show
more information about the tray
including the cost, 
the contract information
and so forth
and here we can look
at the body of the truck
and the information changes
on the screens at the top
it also shows
the information about the tyres
... these big tyres are pretty expensive
so, obviously this data is just
is just dummy data
so don't take 
that for gospel
for what your costs should be...
We can also include
more information about trends over time
by using some graphing
function, we can incorporate
more information.
This is just the start of it
... we can do some little animations in there as well
like spinning this truck around
you can use this format for
really anything.
Any piece of equipment or
any service
used inside a business
so you can imagine do this
and showing
the costs of multiple haul trucks
with loaders and
for an actual operation
you can also use it for a broader
to show the costs associated with
different items over
a large operation 
for a good way to sit down
with the business to
... we are actually just doing this in a boardroom
so we can show this up on a 
projector
with something interactive
we can touch on different
components of an actual services being
provided.
We do a lot of work with 
major services, specifically major mining
services, so we find it is a great 
way to illustrate the costs
by sitting down with everyone
rather than just a 2D piece of paper
but you can also look at it for the cost of
oil & gas
pipeline maintenance costs
really, absolutely anything
you can imagine
you can let your imagination go wild
about the information you can 
can incorporate
So, I hope that 
this is of interest to you and that
you find it interesting
we certainly have had a lot of fun playing around
this and trying to get it to 
do some interesting
things so we think it has been
a bit of fun so
like it, let us know
and hopefully someday we will be
able to show it and
demonstrate it at your boardroom
and incorporate some detail data about
your spending habits within your business
and have a really interactive discussion
about that
I'm Simon again from 
Acquire Procurement Services
and we look
forward to meeting you soon.
Thanks!
