Common situations
Support for the priorities that matter to your operation
Reduce dependence on key individuals
Critical application and integration knowledge sits with a small team. Named support, documented procedures and knowledge transfer help maintain continuity as people and responsibilities change.
Deliver change with confidence
Operational improvements need reliable environments, repeatable tests and clear approvals. An agreed release process helps useful changes reach the teams waiting for them.
Make asset information dependable
Inconsistent hierarchies, classifications and job plans make planning and reporting harder. Profiling, cleansing and agreed data standards establish a usable foundation for maintenance and investment decisions.
Build a practical route to MAS
An upgrade needs a clear view of customisations, connected systems and operational constraints. An assessed scope and measured rehearsal turn the platform move into a programme your team can plan around.
The right starting point depends on your current estate and operating priorities. We agree that scope with your team before delivery begins.
Where to start
Four places an engagement starts
Choose the delivery model that matches your programme, cloud requirements and ongoing support needs.
Implementation, or the move to MAS
Upgrade and implementation →Operating context
You have a funded programme and an internal team who will own the estate afterwards.
Planning consideration
Agree the operating model, data readiness and acceptance criteria early. A working configuration baseline gives process owners something practical to review.
MaxIron Cloud
MaxIron Cloud →Operating context
You need a managed MAS platform, predictable service scope and a team responsible for its daily operation.
Planning consideration
Agree residency, recovery objectives and responsibilities against your security and architecture requirements. Customer-cloud delivery is also available.
MAS in your Azure, AWS or OCI
Implementation, including your cloud →Operating context
The platform has to live in your cloud. You still want MaxIron to design the architecture, build it, and operate it, including multizone OpenShift.
Planning consideration
Define responsibility across architecture, OpenShift, databases and live operations. Application support can be included as an agreed service layer.
Application support on a live estate
Application support →Operating context
Maximo or MAS is already in production. You need a named partner on the application, wherever the platform sits.
Planning consideration
Set coverage around business-critical processes, integration health, response priorities and recurring improvement, alongside incident handling.
Release engineering
Give operational improvements a reliable route into production
Change identified
A maintenance, reporting or integration improvement with a clear business owner
Change prepared
Representative tests, a repeatable release process and recorded approval
Operational teams need improvements they can use and platform owners need changes they can trust. We connect requirements, test evidence and release controls so each change has a defined path to production and a record that supports it.
Our delivery tooling includes environments on demand, pipelines and change control.
How an engagement runs
Five steps, from a short upgrade to a multi-year programme
- 01
Learn the operation
Understand how planners, supervisors and technicians work, and agree the operational priorities the programme needs to address.
- 02
Start from a baseline
Use a curated configuration baseline to review the proposed operating model with your process owners early.
- 03
Build in the open
Review working configuration in short cycles, with repeatable tests and controlled promotion between environments.
- 04
Rehearse the cutover
Rehearse migration, integrations and recovery against measured timings, with agreed readiness criteria before production changes.
- 05
Operate and improve
Connect monitoring and application support to service reviews, with named owners for releases and improvement actions.
Our products support controlled delivery and live operations. See how we deliver.

Planning your programme
A shared basis for successful delivery
Agree the business priorities, delivery responsibilities and evidence of readiness before committing to the programme.
Align the platform and programme
Our focus is IBM Maximo and MAS. We help translate your asset-management priorities into application scope, a delivery sequence and an operating model.
Plan for delivery and ongoing value
Match specialist capacity to the work that matters: architecture, data, integration, adoption and operational support. Agree scope, responsibilities and acceptance evidence so value can be assessed throughout delivery.
Keep business decisions with the right people
Your organisation retains ownership of asset strategy, safety and regulatory decisions. MaxIron supplies the technical delivery and evidence that help your authorised people make and record those decisions.
Bring process, information and people together
Useful EAM improvements depend on more than configuration. Data quality, work-management processes and field adoption form part of a programme designed around operational use.
Questions we are asked first
- What does MaxIron do?
- We implement IBM Maximo and MAS, upgrade legacy Maximo estates, and operate them afterwards: on MaxIron Cloud, or in your Azure, AWS or OCI subscription, including architecture we design and OpenShift we run. Application support sits on that platform or on an estate already live. Mobile, integrations, data migration, licensing and business process work sit around that. One accountable team. All services.
- Are you an IBM partner, and can you supply MAS licences?
- Yes. IBM Gold Partner and a MAS reseller. We advise on AppPoints sizing and BYOL as well as supplying licences. See MAS AppPoints and licensing.
- We are on Maximo 7.6. What is the first step?
- An inventory of customisations and integrations. That sets cost and risk, not the version number. We produce it, quote a fixed price against it, and can run a trial upgrade in a test environment. If the business case will not land this year, Maximo 7.6 Extended Support keeps you supported.
- Do you only work on Maximo Manage?
- Manage is most of our work. We also deliver and operate Monitor, Predict, Health, Visual Inspection and the IoT layer, plus industry solutions such as Renewables and Field Service Management. See the MAS suite overview and our own products.
Discuss the next step for your Maximo estate.
Share your operational priorities and the work you are considering. We can introduce the relevant specialist and discuss the scope, dependencies and delivery approach.
