Metadata is defined as data that provides information about other data. In AEM, metadata is used to describe assets and content for information purposes, findability and delivery. Simple examples might be the title of a photograph, shot date, and photographer. AEM allows the grouping of metadata using Metadata Schemas. These schemas can be applied at […]

Do you have Maximo? Do you have a fleet of assets (cars, trucks, vans, ambulances, etc)? Are you looking for a better way to manage them? This webinar may just be the information you’re looking for. With the cast of speakers, there should be a wealth of information and knowledge sharing… Not only is this […]

Have you ever used the Asset Down Code? I have been working with Maximo since 1999 [v4] and only recently have I had a client using the Asset Down Code. Seems simple enough, select a code from the domain list and click OK. It makes sense they want to see the Asset Down Code on […]

Adobe Search&Promote is a powerful SaaS search offering within the Adobe Marketing Cloud. Adobe offers an integration between Adobe Experience Manager and Adobe Search&Promote using AEM’s Cloud Services. This integration is meant to allow authors to easily deploy and configure basic search experiences with the two tools.   Unfortunately, there is an issue with the integration where […]

Taxonomy is a categorization framework used to identify or tag content. It sets the foundation for classification using a controlled vocabulary which leads to better findability and easier information management. A taxonomy should be agreed upon by business and content owners, and flexible enough to respond to changing business needs. Using the Taxonomy Features in […]

In my last post on public queries, I talked about problems with some of the current setups of Maximo users public query management. As a Maximo system administrator, there are ways to manage this, but user training is often the number one way to get his right. Teach them to not use the Public Query […]

It’s happened in more places and implementations than I can count. A client uses Maximo, and a user, we’ll call him Bob, comes up with some great and useful queries. The easiest way to share it? Make it PUBLIC! This is great that Bob can share the query with everyone that uses Maximo. And then […]

Years ago on a large project to implement Maximo SmartCloud Control Desk [SCCD], now IBM Control Desk [ICD], we all had our own instances for developing that we could refresh at any time. Even the architect team had their own instance. One of their team members tinkered around quite a bit. Since we became friends […]

Creating a standardized assets folder structure is one of the first tasks when building an enterprise Digital Asset Management (DAM) system. Often organizations are combining disparate storage systems into a single DAM, and it’s necessary to understand the way contributors classify assets internally, attempt to recognize patterns, and make improvements to better suit the needs […]

The Apache Sling project recently announced the latest version of our runnable distribution, Apache Sling 10 or Apache Sling X if you are a fruit company fan. And much like the latest fruit product release, this release of Apache Sling is 32% skinnier and costs 200% more, after all, it’s still free!   What’s New in Apache Sling 10? […]

Earlier this month I put together a quick video about IBM Maximo Work Centers and Inspections in Maximo 7.6.0.9. This was a follow-up from a previous presentation on Maximo 7.6.0.8 I had delivered at the IMUG (Indianapolis Maximo Users Group) before all of the pieces became fully functional. Check out this short video or open […]

If you’ve ever been involved in re-platforming, you know it’s a big undertaking. As organizations look to migrate to a new content management platform, like the latest version of Adobe Experience Manager, they invest time and resources in careful planning, defining strategy, and implementing. No doubt, it’s a huge endeavor for most. But there’s a light at […]
