SAS Asset Management

SAS-AM is a specialist consulting firm based in Australia. It provides advanced analytics, strategic advisory and asset management engineering services.

Founded by Shane Scriven, SAS-AM helps organisations make smarter, data-informed decisions about the lifecycle and performance of their physical assets.

The firm works across energy, transport, utilities and government infrastructure. Its approach integrates engineering insight, asset management principles and predictive technologies to improve asset performance, optimise investment and enable long-term value.

SAS-AM combines traditional asset management with advanced techniques, including machine learning, Bayesian modelling, degradation forecasting and maturity assessments.

It also develops platforms such as:

• AMiPU – an AI-powered predictive utility
• Matur.ai – a SaaS tool for benchmarking organisational maturity.

These innovations are grounded in international frameworks, including ISO 55000 and GFMAM.

SAS-AM supports clients with risk-based strategies, maturity audits and integrated management systems. It helps translate complexity into clarity, believing that good asset management is not just technical – it’s transformational.

The firm helps organisations adopt and scale artificial intelligence in a practical, value-driven way. Its approach begins with understanding strategic objectives, operational context and data landscape. SAS-AM then assesses AI readiness using its proprietary AI Maturity Framework, identifying enablers and barriers across data, infrastructure, governance, culture and capability.

From there, it co-develops a tailored roadmap focused on early wins and scalable foundations. SAS-AM supports implementation through the full lifecycle – from problem definition and data preparation to model development, validation, deployment and change management.

Its strength lies in bridging the gap between advanced analytics and operational reality. Whether embedding machine learning in decision-making, developing digital twins or creating AI-powered forecasting tools, SAS-AM ensures solutions are technically sound, stakeholder-aligned and fit for purpose.

The firm also offers Matur.ai, a SaaS platform for benchmarking AI capability and generating targeted improvement insights. For clients starting out or scaling up, SAS-AM brings clarity, direction and momentum to their AI journey – always grounded in governance, ethics and real-world impact.

In short, SAS-AM enables organisations to confidently and sustainably harness the power of AI.
