MAS feature channel

Preview new MAS capabilities before general release

IBM's opt-in feature channel provides typically monthly non-production updates. Preview features can change before general release and apply to your installed applications.

  1. 01

    IBM releases

    IBM publishes the next feature channel update.

  2. 02

    MaxIron gives notice

    We explain the changes and scheduled update time.

  3. 03

    We update and retest

    MaxIron applies the update and reruns its demo test scripts before handover.

  4. 04

    Your team explores

    Users preview capabilities ahead of their own upgrade. Updates follow IBM's cadence rather than a fixed release.

Read IBM's feature channel overview for the preview model.

Evaluation scope

The conditions for using your sandbox

All three tiers support evaluation and learning with IBM Maximo demo data.

Evaluation data and integrations
Live operations, production data and integrations are excluded. Loading your own data requires a separate MaxIron project. A reset restores the starting state and removes everything created since setup.
Applications outside the sandbox offering
Excluded: Real Estate and Facilities and its add-ons; Visual Inspection and Visual Inspection Edge; Collaborate; Maximo IT; Service Provider; Oracle, SAP, Workday, TRIRIGA and Envizi connectors.
User numbers and fair use
Contact MaxIron for more than 15 named users. Evaluation access follows a fair use policy. Sustained heavy load or production-style activity requires discussion of a suitable alternative.
Customer configuration
Setting up your own organisations, sites and configuration requires a separate MaxIron engagement.
