LAB3

Can't wait for the NZ Gov Data Summit! Are you going to join the action? It's happening 5-7 May at the InterContinental, Pōneke (Wellington). Here's the low down: https://lnkd.in/ghwtX7SX

Catch the blog! It breaks down our modernisation philosophy as explained by Lachlan White, our CTO and long-time HashiCorp Ambassador turned IBM Champion. Here’s a taste of what Lachie dives into: “As agents, pipelines, and services are introduced at pace, non-human identity becomes the dominant security challenge. Vault enables workload-based authentication and short-lived credentials, giving teams the freedom to adopt new tools quickly without relying on long-lived shared secrets.”

Thank you to the APS Agencies who joined Microsoft's Federal Government AI Discovery Day in Canberra today. Scaling AI beyond tooling to enterprise capability can be achieved! The event was designed to move the conversation forward — from “should we experiment with AI?” to “how do we operationalise AI safely, repeatedly and at pace?”. If you'd like to dive deeper and begin making AI use cases and repeatable patterns real, connect with our Director of Public Sector Philip Milne Thank you to Microsoft for hosting the day, and speakers: Sarah Carney and Luca Stamatescu from Microsoft and Lachlan White and Jason Leonard from LAB3. The way we work together to achieve business outcomes for our shared clients, as one united team, moves from innovation to delivered reality.

Check out the HashiCorp and LAB3 technology partnership in action! The way our teams work together to achieve faster business outcomes for clients is phenomenal.

In Canberra? How is AI adoption at Scale progressing for you? Join the conversation. We'll be there, sharing some of the practical lessons we've seen from building AI platforms and landing zones in production environments for public sector organisations. Lachlan White (giving a keynote) and Jason Leonard are representing us. They'll also talk about what they are seeing across many organisations right now: ➡️ Moving from AI experimentation ➡️ To secure, production-grade AI platforms. You'll learn more about the foundations required to move from isolated use cases toward repeatable, scalable AI capability across public sector organisations. If you can make it, bring your questions!

This week Sreyna Rath joined our brilliant women at LAB3 to celebrate #IWD2026 and talk about something that matters: Who gets to shape AI and why it matters that more women are in the room. Sreyna is the CEO and co-founder of Jaimee, and her talk cut through the usual AI hype to get at the real stuff - Bias baked into training data. What 'safe AI' actually looks like in practice. Why the choices we make in design (scoping, reviewing, choosing tools) are just as important as the code itself. It was the kind of conversation that stays with you. And on point for the LAB3 team and our commitment to diversity and the ethical use of AI. A huge thank you to Sreyna for sharing her invaluable perspective!

AI adoption at scale is not just possible, it’s happening. Join us at this event designed to help you move from concept to concrete action, with an AI journey curated to balance security and agility. As a speaker, our CTO, Lachlan White, will be sharing insights on how we've already scaled AI initiatives. Also on the ground will be Philip Milne (Director of Public Sector) and Jason Leonard (AI Practice Lead). They are ready to connect and talk all things AI strategy.
