As a continuation of a previous blog, you may have already heard about the end of support for Maximo 7.5 and other IBM solutions. In case you missed it, click here for a quick blog entry about the IBM announcement…
Looking to the future, let’s talk about what IBM has planned for Maximo. Last week IBM recorded a webcast and here are some of the highlights, the presentation and the recording of the session. It’s about an hour and packed with great information.
Technical Improvements include:
– Building Information Model (BIM) – better view of where your assets are and the work being performed.
– Budget Monitoring (new in 7.6.08, upgrade coming, need assistance?) – help track money spent to budget.
– Health Safety & Environment (HSE) – help you track incidents, improve and potentially prevent future issues.
– Simplifying the User Experience – how about a easier and quicker way to do things.
– Maximo Work Centers – graphical tools to quickly identify data driven information.
The session also contains details about:
– Value of IoT w Maximo
– Maximo Release Lifecycle / Roadmap
– Additional add-on plans
– SaaS & Cloud options
– Drones, Watson & Safety Insights, oh my… Well, these are coming attractions
