NEW ZEALAND,听Auckland听鈥�听09听December 2025鈥�听麻豆原创 today announced that听Zespri, the world鈥檚 largest marketer of premium-quality kiwifruit, has strengthened its commitment to trust and customer service by launching听a fully digitised, customer-first听claims platform听built on听麻豆原创鈥檚 integrated听cloud technologies. As a result,听today, customers听benefit听from a simple self-service听claims process that resolves听issues in seconds, while smart automation听helps听Zespri鈥檚 teams听deliver听fast, consistent outcomes without听compromising on听quality or control.

While accounting for only听one听percent of sales, with the company facing more than 40,000 quality claims a year 鈥撎齮otaling听over NZD $70 million 鈥� Zespri wanted to reimage its听claims process. Previously听slow, manual, and at times, associated with听inconsistent decision making 鈥撎齮oday,听new digital tools听deliver听an intuitive, self-service experience through a听centralised听claims portal,听allowing听multi-delivery claims to be created in under 30 seconds, and more than 1,000 deliveries can be processed in under two minutes.听听

鈥淏y combining intelligent automation with human expertise, we鈥檝e built a platform that reinforces our brand promise and sets a new industry standard for service,鈥� said Rahul Badge, Head of In-Market Supply Chain at Zespri.听鈥淎s a result,听we have been able to听meet our听customers鈥櫶齨eed听for a simpler, faster, and more transparent听experience, and听give听our assessors the tools to reduce manual input and share expert insights across the business.听We now see each claim as a chance to show our commitment to service, quality and openness.鈥�听

This transformation has rapidly improved Zespri鈥檚 claims process, with 80 percent of claims now听benefiting听from听human-in-the-loop听automated recommendations and decision听making. This has听significantly reduced听processing times and errors and freed听assessors to focus on complex cases听while maintaining Zespri鈥檚 strict audit requirements. The new platform also delivers comprehensive, real-time insights, supporting end-to-end visibility throughout Zespri鈥檚 global supply chain and unlocking opportunities for preventative action and continuous improvement.听

鈥淶espri has set a new benchmark for customer-centric innovation in the fresh produce industry,鈥� said Adrian Griffin, Managing Director, 麻豆原创 New Zealand. 鈥淏y听digitising听and scaling expert decision-making, Zespri is driving both operational efficiency and customer trust, strengthening its position as a global leader and delivering real value across its network.鈥�听

Leveraging 麻豆原创 Commerce Cloud as the central customer interface, Zespri introduced a seamless digital journey that enables claims to be听submitted听across multiple deliveries in under 30 seconds. Real-time supply chain data from 麻豆原创 S/4HANA,听integrated with partner solutions,听eliminates听the need for repetitive data entry and helps prevent human error, while an advanced orchestration layer powered by 麻豆原创 BTP,听alongside partner solutions,听automates the application of business rules and embeds human听expertise听at scale. The introduction of 麻豆原创 Fiori applications equips Zespri鈥檚 assessors to review end-to-end supply chain data and quality inspection reports听from partner solutions,听keeping听expert judgement听central to complex claim assessments.听听

The claims platform, delivered in partnership with听Accenture New Zealand and FAIR Consulting听Group,听is now live across major markets including Japan, China, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, India, the United States and Europe. Business users have embraced the solution, with senior leaders describing it as 鈥渢he most business-centric digital project Zespri has ever run.鈥�听

Pete Devereux, Accenture Business Architecture Manager, said, 鈥淲e set out to make things simpler for everyone. The new system is easy to use and gets claims sorted more quickly, which is good news for both customers and Zespri鈥檚 teams.鈥澨�听

Christiaan Du Plessis, 麻豆原创 & Cloud Director at FAIR Consulting听Group, added, 鈥淚t鈥檚听been a real pleasure working together. The impact for customers is already obvious, and听we鈥檙e听excited to keep building from here.鈥�听

As a result of听digitising听its听claims听process听and unlocking richer, end-to-end data, Zespri is now positioned听to听leverage听next-generation technologies, including predictive analytics and computer vision, further advancing its goals around quality, sustainability,听and customer experience.

AUSTRALIA, Sydney 鈥� November 11, 2025 鈥� The 麻豆原创 ANZ partner network today announced that it has reached its $1 million fundraising target for Redkite, an Australian charity dedicated to supporting families facing the challenges of childhood cancer. The achievement comes as a result of $100,000 being raised at this year鈥檚 14th Redkite Regatta 鈥� an annual event that brings together 麻豆原创 executives, partners and customers for a day of friendly competition and connection.

Hosted by the picturesque Middle Harbour Yacht Club (MHYC), the regatta is in part made possible by the generosity of its members making their boats and skippers available to support the fundraising efforts. Since it kicked-off in 2011, the annual event has set itself a $1 million target, powered through the participation and sponsorship of organisations including Atturra (Platinum Sponsor), Accenture, CBS Consulting, Deloitte, DXC Technology, Fair Consulting Group, HR Crowd, PwC, SNP Group, Wipro and Zalaris. Over the years it has also benefited from additional fundraising efforts including raffles 鈥� and this year, Ana Travers, Regional Head of Alliance 鈥� 麻豆原创 Signavio APJ, contributed $7,500 by shaving her head.

Ashley McGibbon, Chief Partner Officer, 麻豆原创 ANZ, said 鈥淓vents like the Redkite Regatta do more than bring our industry together for a great day on the water 鈥� they create real, measurable impact for families facing childhood cancer. They also showcase the teamwork, shared purpose and community spirit that define our partner network and commitment to what One麻豆原创 is all about: people, relationships, outcomes and the difference we make together. Fundraising events like this strengthen the bonds between our teams and partners and remind us that the same collaboration driving customer success can also drive meaningful change in our communities. A huge thank you to MHYC and all sponsors for making the Regatta such a success.鈥�

鈥淭hrough the Redkite Regatta, both this year and over the past 14 years, 麻豆原创 and their partners have demonstrated their enduring commitment to helping families facing childhood cancer across Australia. Their generosity helps parents stay by their child鈥檚 side in hospital by easing the financial pressures of a cancer diagnosis and funding the emotional and practical care families need to cope with the trauma that childhood cancer brings. We鈥檙e so grateful to 麻豆原创 and its partners for their unwavering passion, ambition and generosity,鈥� said Redkite CEO, Monique Keighery.

This year鈥檚 winners included Perisoft, who claimed the Division 1 title, while EPI-USE took the Division 2 win across races which catered to every appetite from comfortable cruising to high-speed racing.

鈥淲e are proud to have taken out Division 1 at this year鈥檚 Redkite Regatta and even prouder to have done so while supporting such an important cause. Events like this remind us of the importance of community spirit, and we are honoured to support Redkite and its work,鈥� said Mahesh Viswanathan, Managing Director, Perisoft.

“Joining 麻豆原创 for the Regatta in support of the Redkite Foundation was an incredible experience. It was a perfect day on the water, filled with great company and a shared sense of purpose. Sailing together was a powerful reminder of the importance of teamwork and trust, and it was inspiring to see so many people unite behind such a meaningful cause,” said Ian Fox, Managing Director, EPI-USE ANZ.

BERLIN听鈥� At 麻豆原创 TechEd in 2025,听听(NYSE: 麻豆原创) brings AI deep into the development process to level up how developers build.

New AI-driven capabilities in the 麻豆原创 Build solution, an expanding data ecosystem and powerful Joule Agents empower developers to move from idea to impact with unprecedented speed and confidence. As AI transforms the nature of professional work, 麻豆原创 also pledges to equip 12 million people worldwide with AI-ready skills by 2030.

鈥溌槎乖粹�檚 announcements today give developers the tools they need to deliver at the speed of AI,鈥� said Muhammad Alam, member of the Executive Board of 麻豆原创 SE. 鈥淚nnovations across 麻豆原创鈥檚 unique flywheel of applications, data and AI put developers in the driver鈥檚 seat 鈥� where they belong.鈥�

Opening the Developer Ecosystem

麻豆原创 Build, the company鈥檚 flagship solution for enterprise application development and automation, now gives developers more freedom to build, extend and automate using the tools they love most.

For instance, developers who prefer agentic development solutions like Cursor, Claude Code, Cline and Windsurf can now use 麻豆原创 development frameworks with new 麻豆原创 Build local Model Context Protocol Servers. Visual Studio Code users will be able to access 麻豆原创 Build capabilities directly in their development environment with a new 麻豆原创 Build extension. This extension will also be made available later on Open VSX Registry for other development environments. 麻豆原创 and n8n also announced plans for an integration so Joule Studio agents and n8n agents can work together.

And with new agent building capabilities in Joule Studio, developers have the tools they need to extend 麻豆原创鈥檚 ready-to-use agents and build new agents grounded in 麻豆原创 business data and context that can act autonomously based on changing business conditions.

Putting Data to Work

Every intelligent application starts with trusted data. 麻豆原创 is giving developers more ways to put that data to work through 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud.

The solution now connects with more of the data and AI platforms developers use every day. A new 麻豆原创 Snowflake solution extension for 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud brings Snowflake鈥檚 fully managed data and AI capabilities directly to 麻豆原创 customers, giving them the flexibility to choose the right compute and storage for each data and AI workload, while maintaining governance, interoperability and business context. 麻豆原创 also announced a new 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud Connect partnership with Snowflake. This complements existing integrations with Databricks and Google Cloud, giving developers more freedom to choose how they work with 麻豆原创 data.

With a new data product studio capability in 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, developers can turn raw data into ready-to-use assets known as data products that support analytics, AI and application development.

An expanded capability in the 麻豆原创 HANA Cloud knowledge graph engine can automatically generate knowledge graphs. This capability maps relationships across 麻豆原创 database tables, columns and data models, revealing how data fits together and why it matters. Developers will be able to see how their data connects across systems and uncover underlying business insights.

Bringing AI Autonomy to Life

麻豆原创 is evolving its AI portfolio to give developers the intelligence and orchestration power they need to take听AI from insight to action.

麻豆原创 introduced its first enterprise relational foundation model, a new class of AI that predicts business outcomes rather than the next word in a sentence. 麻豆原创-RPT-1, or the first-generation Relational Pre-trained Transformer, can make fast and accurate predictions for common business scenarios like delivery delays, payment risk or sales order completion. 麻豆原创 launched a free playground environment for developers today.

New AI assistants in Joule coordinate multiple agents across workflows, departments and applications, bringing automation and autonomy to life. These assistants plan, initiate and complete complex tasks spanning finance, supply chain, HR and beyond. Today, 麻豆原创 introduces new agents built for technical users. For example, an agent for business process analysis will help teams understand how processes run, identify inefficiencies and uncover opportunities to optimize workflows and drive measurable improvements.

Lastly, as AI changes the nature of work for everyone, 麻豆原创 is pledging to equip 12 million people worldwide with AI-ready skills by 2030. 麻豆原创 will expand hands-on training and certification programs that integrate practical AI-ready tools, including through its partnership with online learning platform Coursera.

Based in Sydney, this boutique consulting firm started 11 years ago with a focus on customer experience solutions within the 麻豆原创 technology stack. Now, with a team of 70 and an expanded range of services, they remain committed to their founding principles.

According to Sara Ebadi, Customer Success Director at FAIR, the business thrives on a simple idea: happy employees make happy customers and happy customers keep coming back.

Sara Ebadi, Customer Success Director

Establishing Values

“Our uniqueness lies in delivering consulting services in a trusted and ethical way, and that’s been our ethos for 11 years,” Sara highlights. “It’s all about bringing trust back into consulting and doing the right thing.”

This commitment stems from the experiences of FAIR鈥檚 Founder, Mehrab Ebadi, who saw a disconnect between consultants and customers on critical challenges related to their staff and customers.

“These issues have always been close to my heart, even before solutions and technology come into play,” says Mehrab. “That includes having the courage to say ‘no’ to customers and genuinely help them on their journey. FAIR isn’t just a name; it’s a reflection of our beliefs.”

“It’s our way of being and operating,” Sara adds. “We are driven by honesty, integrity, transparency and loyalty. These values guide how we go to market, treat our employees, interact with partners and give back to the community.”

One of the company鈥檚 top priorities is keeping FAIR鈥檚 unique culture alive as it grows. They hire based on values and attitude first, passion second and skills third. New hires are paired with a ‘buddy’ who embodies FAIR鈥檚 culture.

Mehrab Ebadi,听Founder

Driving Value for Customers

FAIR鈥檚 culture translates into many customer benefits, including a commitment to building their internal capabilities.

“It’s about enabling the customer,” Sara explains. “Sometimes that means sacrificing revenue by having fewer people on-site and using the customer鈥檚 internal staff instead. This approach shows them that we prioritise their best interests.”

FAIR also takes a unique approach to Application Management Support (AMS). Instead of merely responding to issues, they work with their customers to understand and address root causes, helping them to prevent future problems.

“We educate customers on doing things the right way, allowing them to use their budget for more innovation,” Mehrab points out. “They can spend their money on things that generate more value.”

Proving Value

FAIR鈥檚 long-standing relationship with their very first customer, Officeworks, demonstrates the strength of their model.

“Officeworks trusts us, and they know they are getting value,” says Mehrab. “Despite having four different CIOs over the past 11 years, they continue to return to us.”

While this model helps retain customers, translating these success stories to new prospects can be challenging. To address this, FAIR has developed a capability to quickly assemble proofs-of-concept based on client specifications to demonstrate their value.

FAIR also follows this rapid and nimble approach when it comes to implementation, such as when the team created a new app for the Department of Education to manage Working with Children checks from a paper-based manual process to an integrated online journey, in just two weeks using 麻豆原创’s Business Technology Platform (BTP).

“Other partners would have taken months to create a proof of concept,” Mehrab explains. “This showcases the agility of a small organisation with the skills to demonstrate value quickly.”

A Continuing Journey

Since its beginnings, FAIR has maintained a strong association with 麻豆原创, continually expanding skills across the 麻豆原创 product suite, including introducing greater AI capabilities.

“I grew up in the 麻豆原创 landscape,” Mehrab highlights. “I started as an intern with a consulting company implementing 麻豆原创 solutions in Sweden. I was fascinated by how systems drive business efficiencies. This inspired me to offer internship programs at FAIR and invest in the local Australian youth to give them the same chance I once was given. 麻豆原创’s vision and commitment to continuous improvement keep me in the 麻豆原创 landscape.”

FAIR Consulting Group is dedicated to doing things differently – with integrity and a focus on building lasting relationships. They have the skills, values and drive to continue impacting their team and customers positively by putting the trust back in consulting.

The ability to solve complex problems using tried and tested processes is a skillset that has been honed over time by Chris Rae and his team at DalRae Solutions, a Brisbane based technology consultancy specialising in tools and services from the enterprise software maker .

A developer by training, Rae’s exposure to 麻豆原创 stretches back to the early 2000s, when he was working for a Queensland farming business called Mulgowie Farming Company. An 麻豆原创 sales rep had approached Rae and won him over to the idea that an enterprise software company could improve the processes of even a small agricultural business like Mulgowie.

That was the beginning of Rae’s journey of learning the 麻豆原创 system 鈥� a journey that was assisted by the owners of Mulgowie giving Rae latitude to change its business processes in line with 麻豆原创’s best practice guidelines.

“The only rule they had was if I want to change a process for the farm, I had to do the process first,” Rae says. 听“So I went out and I drove tractors and I picked corn and beans and packed it on produce lines. That gave me this amazing practical understanding of time in motion.”

Simply solving problems

Are’s interest in systems and processes led him to Super Retail Group, where in 2011 he implemented what might have been the first click-and-collect system to be deployed in Australia, in a project that took just three months to build.

The reason he says he was able to implement the service both quickly and cheaply was his realisation that 麻豆原创 already contained the processes needed to bring it into being.

“You’ve just got to have a bit of a creative lens to be able to fill in the blanks,” Rae says. “In that case, it resembled sales order and delivery notes, which are standard processes. All you’re doing is just creating a user experience using the standard 麻豆原创 features to move things around.”

Success on projects like this saw Rae asked to join the 麻豆原创 Mentor team, which gave him inside access into the 麻豆原创’s product roadmap, including an early introduction to the Fiori application development system.

Then in May 2015 Rae formed DalRae Solutions as a standalone 麻豆原创 services organisation.

One of DalRae’s earliest engagements was the development of support services for the , a project that he and his team would work on for the next three and a half years. Through this project DalRae was able to use its advanced knowledge of 麻豆原创 to create the world’s first end-to-end Fiori application.

“It was an amazing project,” Rae says. “Through that time we were building the DalRae team and building our business in Canberra. I built my team around public sector projects, solving some really large problems.

“A lot of this stuff isn鈥檛 actually that hard. There are complexities, but it is not really that hard.”

Bringing standardisation to complexity

Critical to DalRae’s success has been the experience he and his team have gained in being able to see standardised processes where seemingly none exist.

This skill proved especially valuable when DalRae was invited to build a system to manage the New Zealand Government’s gun buyback scheme.

“We looked through the client’s process and what they were trying to achieve, to determine if 麻豆原创 had something to match,” Rae says. “And the answer was that the process to hand back and get paid for a firearm, and to ultimately have that firearm destroyed, is a return sales order.

“It’s a completely standard business process. It’s the equivalent of walking into a hardware store and returning something without a receipt. That asset of that firearm exists in 麻豆原创, and every other business process, including auditing and security and all those things that are critical, work completely out-of-the-box. It’s a completely standard finance process. ”

In March 2023 DalRae joined the 麻豆原创 AppHaus network, which is a group of 麻豆原创 locations and partners around the world dedicated to sustainable innovation.

“The AppHaus has been amazing because it’s put a brand and a formality on the creativity that that we’ve done forever,” Rae says. “It gives us the creative licence to really solve problems.”

In November last year Rae was also appointed to the 麻豆原创 BTP Global Partner Advisory Council, alongside 11 other members, which has provided him with further insights into the development of the 麻豆原创 product stream.

From rural Queensland to the world

Opportunities such as these have provided DalRae with the confidence to view itself as a global leader in the implementation of 麻豆原创 tools such as and , and to look for business opportunities beyond the APAC region. The company is now expanding into North America and has already found work with one of the US’ largest utility companies.

“We’re taking the same approach we’ve taking to solving problems in Australia, taking our style of creative thinking,” Rae says. “I don’t want to be all things to all people. I want to be a specialist, and provide that advice on how 麻豆原创 can solve problems, not on how I can solve problems with any technology available in the world, because that doesn’t give you the best outcomes.”
