IBM Maximo Application Suite vs. Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Management (SCM)

IBM Maximo Application Suite is especially useful for global maintenance standardization, preventive maintenance, and work order management. It helps us identify opportunities to improve reliability and control maintenance costs. However, I see opportunities to make the system more user-friendly, improve reporting flexibility, and simplify some processes that currently require too many steps. I will give an example: in our industry, without a taxonomy, it's almost impossible to standardize, so it depends a lot on the ability of the person who is working with the system and how familiar or used to it he is. Also, we can have as many job plans as we want, but the PM implementation- that's the one that, without an initial guide or experience, is difficult to implement.

Oracle SCM Cloud is extensively used in my organization for a complete
Supply chain. We use all the Procure to Pay modules starting with
Procurement, Order management, and Financial modules. We also use Product
Information Management and Product Development Management modules to create and maintain items and products that we sell. These modules are interfaced with Inventory Management for shipping and supply chain demand and supply planning as well. Analytics is integrated with all these modules so it is very useful to keep track of metrics. However, if you are not using Sales Cloud and use another CRM system, there could be some hiccups in syncing the system if you don't have a middleware.

• Usually, we have problems with the mobile apps. For about seven out of ten customers, we need to use third-party mobile applications. It’s been a rollercoaster — Anywhere was terrible, then Maximo Mobile for 8 was pretty good, and now with Maximo 9, it’s problematic again. So it’s been ups and downs. But the good thing is that the architecture is open, so we can use third-party applications or even develop our own add-ons. Still, IBM could do this better.

• UI - Needs a definite update. Tool can do wonders if UI is intuitive.
• Excel based data doesn't upload easily.
• No open APIs, integration is not possible with other tools.
• Extra charges for a module for integration.
• Implementation is not easy.

IBM Maximo Application Suite has provided a solution to our desire to consolidate the multiple applications serving the layers of the Procurement process we has been accustomed to using. By consolidating applications, licensing and software costs are reduced, and the overall headcount to support the various applications was able to be minimized.

The application is best of its class in Asset Life Cycle Management with powerful features for EAM, Predictive Analysis and Health. The data from Asset maintenance brings together a whole new picure for Asset Health and monitoring the life cycle of the asset starting from deployment until end of life

I have regularly contacted IBM Support to report issues and raise requests for issues we face during project implementations. The response from them has overall been good and to the point, and they get back to us within a day or 2 and guide us through the process of fixing it or providing an interim fix of the product

As a computerized maintenance management system i do not have experience of any other system. The only experience I have is for Maximo and it works excellent for me. I am using many modules available in Maximo and all of these modules are almost fulfilling all of my business needs.

Oracle SCM is best suited for Small & Mid Sized Business, whereas SAP SCM is best suited for large scale businesses. Oracle SCM has Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Supplier Relationship Management (SCM) integrations which is missing in SAP SCM. Oracle supports modular integration and electronic data integration (EDI) which was one of the pre-requisites of the client.

• The real ROI on Maximo comes from time savings in processes that can be automated or enhanced within Maximo.
• Increased uptime (based on a good maintenance plan).
• Since it offers a wide variety of fields for applications, the interface is not as user-friendly in some cases.
