SAP Intel­li­gent Enter­prise Enable­ment Series 

Abstract:

The Office of State Rev­enue (OSR), a part of Queens­land Trea­sury (pub­lic sec­tor agency in Queens­land, Aus­tralia), part­nered with SAP to devel­op an ini­tial proof of con­cept (PoC) using SAP Leonar­do machine learn­ing (ML) capa­bil­i­ties and SAP HANA PAL.

The objec­tive is to trans­form tax­pay­er ser­vices — specif­i­cal­ly for rev­enue col­lec­tion and debt management.

The proof of con­cept solu­tion pro­vid­ed the capa­bil­i­ty, which was nev­er pos­si­ble before, to pre­dict tax­pay­ers who may become debtors — to a 71% accu­ra­cy level.

This accu­ra­cy is expect­ed to increase in pro­duc­tion as more data sources are added. This ses­sion will share the jour­ney from the PoC to the cur­rent sta­tus with a look into the plans going forward.

Simon cur­rent­ly is the Deputy Com­mis­sion­er for Queens­land Trea­sury locat­ed in Bris­bane, Aus­tralia. Pri­or to becom­ing deputy com­mis­sion­er, he served as direc­tor for 10 years with Queens­land Treasury. 
Simon believes in the impor­tance of col­lab­o­rat­ing and shar­ing his knowl­edge with col­leagues and mem­bers of the indus­try. He appre­ci­ates oppor­tu­ni­ties to express his ideas and stay ahead of the curve.
Simon received his Mas­ters of Com­mer­cial Law, Resources, Cor­po­ra­tions and Tax from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Melbourne.
