IBM Maximo Application Suite is an amazing tool to improve your maintenance program and help meet organizational goals. From regulatory compliance to cost savings in inventory and work execution, the IBM Maximo Application Suite provides the ability to track it all to create meaningful results. IBM Maximo Application Suite Manage has been around for a very long time for a reason!

Customers and clients needing to better manage and maintain their existing facilities and assets while trying to leverage existing business processes without having to implement an overly configured application throughout their business organizations. Customers and contacts looking for a user friendly experience for the end users who may not be considered technical resources.

The ease of use and the reports Maximo generates are the main reasons I have been using it for the last three years. Our equipment and work orders are tracked using Maximo. It has been helpful for me to predict equipment failures with the help of maintenance history reports. My company also uses it to track employee time and generate reports about workers' work habits. The program would be nice if it could compare the time spent working from day to day, but it currently does not.

Maximo is a great versatile tool for a general enterprise asset management (EAM) solution - has great flexibility and many advanced solutions as well. It provides good integration with our ERP system as well. We use Oracle and it has been exceptionally good for us. The biggest challenge we face though is when it comes to more advanced digital transformation solutions. We wanted to test out predictive models on our critical assets- we have to try the APM solution from GE. Things like integration with IBM Watson to do case management or recommendation management are still not available in Maximo.

Organizations seeking advanced analytics insights through AI for informed decision-making benefit from IBM Maximo Application Suite's capabilities. However it is less suitable for projects with a limited duration and minimal ongoing asset management needs.

IBM Maximo Application Suite is well suited for organizations looking for an application to track their end-to-end procurement and supply chain process. It can also be used for billing services, but that would mainly be for services provided as part of a work order, not voluminous customer billing. IBM Maximo Application Suite allows us to have one application where someone from procurement can input contracts and details, someone from any various department can create a requisition and superiors can use automated workflow to approve a purchase order, and someone at an operations location can receive and store materials. Subsequently, someone in the field can submit their hours and material used and it be approved via automated workflow for an invoice to be created. Payment functionality is possible, but we did not implement this aspect of IBM Maximo Application Suite. To note, throughout the process, interfacing can be set up to send transactions to your general ledger.
As far as interfacing, IBM Maximo Application Suite also offers tools and configuration to set up endpoints. We have been able to set up REST APIs and request/responses without heavy involvement from developers. This is a nice bonus if integrating with multiple applications.

labor utilization increased - well Suited

productivity analysis - Less Appropriate

It is only suited for very large-scale industries and with a proper workforce to check up on it creates magic but for small-scale beginners, it is not recommended. It is unnecessary for a small-scale industry with limited property to have such a capable auditor watching. This can be done manually. The pricing is also not suitable for small-scale industries anyway. Also learning or hiring this software-specific dev is difficult.

IBM Maximo Application Suite is useful to create Asset Registry, defining hierarchies and attributes, howhever it could be "not easy" to perform customization requisred by customers.

Maximo is user friendly and a comprehensive maintenance management system. With proper training, it can be customized according to business requirement. All the modules can be easily configured according to the requirement. It can help in Asset management, inventory management, maintenance planning, execution of jobs, maintaining maintenance histories, managing vendors and service providers, managing day to day purchases, purchase histories, inventory costing, manpower management, managing safety and permit system, and many more. With the data in Maximo one can easily track, evaluate the maintenance cost and the failures that are frequent. With this data better future planning can be done to reduce the cost and failures, resulting in increased productivity, cost saving and reduction in asset downtime.

Works well for tracking corrective and planned maintenance, but needs simplified methods of pulling data for reports and performance metrics without having to rely on understanding SQL and getting IT to support involved.

Maximo is very user-friendly and can be designed to support most singular business processes. Once a process becomes complicated (eg, calculating risk profiles or requirements to spread costs across multiple codes) it is not so easy.

Asset-intensive sectors: For asset-intensive industries like manufacturing, energy, and utilities, IBM Maximo is a good fit. These sectors demand sophisticated maintenance procedures, so they require a platform that enables real-time asset, inventory, and work order management. Operations on a wide scale: IBM Maximo is ideal for big businesses with lots of facilities and assets. Organizations will able to manage their assets and inventory more efficiently because to the platform's consolidated view of operations and assets.

The basics of Maximo is well thought about, but moving forward and looking at the new and existing industries the requirements are changing and do we need to also look at the basics of Maximo. Also, with the industries involveld to digital twin and more detailed asset management I think this are things to think about.

It is majorly needed when dealing with a lot of users and lot of assets. It is recommended to use maximo if the organisation is large. It is not recommended in small organisations where are less employees.

Small to large companies that manage assets should consider IBM Maximo because it includes all functionalities needed to manage the assets lifecycle, such as purchasing, contract management, work management, inventory management, planning and scheduling, and workforce management. According to the organization' policies, not all of these modules should be used, for example, if the purchasing process must be covered by the company's ERP. Some manufacturing companies that have SAP as their ERP, prefer using SAP modules for maintenance in order to leverage their expertise in implementing SAP.

It's well suited for all asset-intensive companies

IBM Maximo does exactly what we want it to do. It has the features and functions that you would expect an asset management system to have. It could be improved by being a bit more user friendly, however, if you are using it just to keep the records of your assets management, such as buildings, certificates, vehicles, far extinguishers, et cetera it does that brilliantly and I would recommend it to anybody with multiple assets across the business.

IBM Maximo is best suited in the OIl&Gas industry, Utilities, and Transportation. With the industry add-ons offering with IBM Maximo, many Out-of-Box solutions that come with the product and add-ons are well-equipped to help engineers and technicians in the field to record, manage and maintain their assets, work and data. Work Orders, Assets, Preventive Maintenance, Job Plans, Safety, Failure Reporting, and Inventory are the heavily used applications by users and the reason why IBM Maximo is best suited to deliver their needs. The software may not be a recommendation for Small and Medium Businesses having limited assets or fleets to manage and maintain. Clients come with enquires on financials and payroll software where IBM Maximo is less likely to be recommended.
