IBM Technology Expert Labs PLAN Sustainability Maximo Application Suite (MAS) Modernization Offering on Azure

IBM Software

The objective behind our briefing is to get your requirements and assist you on design and deployment of the latest Maximo Application Suite, based on our deep product expertise focused on your goals.

Our global subject matter experts will assist you on how to optimize equipment performance and extend your asset(s) life cycles leveraging your Maximo Application Suite (MAS) asset management platform on Azure.

Through this briefing, you will learn how our offering provides thoughtful discovery and planning sessions, where you will share your unique priorities and requirements with our technical consultants who will determine the best course of action(s) for your organization to take on achieving desired results.

IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) is a single, integrated cloud-based platform that uses AI, IoT and analytics to optimize performance, extend asset life cycles and reduce operational downtime and costs. With a market-leading technology from IBM Maximo, clients have access to configurable Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Application Performance Management (APM) applications, along with streamlined installation and administration, plus a better user experience with shared data and workflows. These features may be over-whelming for your organization if you do not have the proper skilled resources to manage these.

Some of the key challenges faced by your asset managers (that will be discussed in this briefing) are:

• Extreme risk involved with unmaintained assets → If mission-critical assets are not properly maintained, there can be catastrophic consequences, i.e. equipment failure that can result in significant business costs • Lack of comprehensive visibility → Struggles to gain a holistic view of their managed assets, which makes it difficult to monitor and manage them effectively • Manual and time-consuming processes → Relying on manual methods for monitoring, managing, and maintenance planning is labour-intensive and leads to errors • Difficulty giving meaning to data → Need to transform your data into something meaningful for your business

Through an optimized implementation of MAS that our subject matter experts can deliver, clients can get ahead of these challenges. The PLAN MAS Modernization Offering is the first step to working with IBM Maximo deep, technical product consultants, to help you prioritize these challenges and put a plan in action to address them.
