Maximo Upgrade Process (7.5, 7.6) - A CMMS Best Practice

According to multiple sources, IBM Maximo Asset Management is the best-selling Global EAM Platform. It has a broad range of applications, ranging from manufacturing to infrastructure, transportation and even real estate. Maximo grants companies more insight and control over assets to optimize performance while reducing operational costs and maximizing return on assets.

The most recently released iteration of Maximo is version 7.5 (with Maximo 7.6 soon to be released) which adds an array of new features and functionality. The new content that was added with 7.5 was intended to help improve organizational efficiency in asset management while streamlining business processes and integrating data from legacy systems more easily. Specifically, it improves on five different areas:

1. Supply Chain
2. Work and Asset Management
3. Usability
4. Migration Manager
5. Deployment Engine
