About Us

Discover the story, mission and people behind CAMS - the world's leading predictive asset management platform.

Our Story

CAMS began as a collaborative research project between industry leaders and RMIT University, seeking to revolutionize how organizations manage their physical assets. What started as an academic pursuit quickly evolved into a powerful platform with real-world applications.

Our founding team recognized a critical gap in the market: while organizations collected vast amounts of asset data, they lacked the predictive tools to transform this information into actionable insights. This realization sparked a decade-long journey of innovation and refinement.

"We envisioned a future where asset management decisions would be driven by predictive intelligence rather than reactive responses. That vision has guided our development from day one."
