A core component of project management is for the project team to review any available as-is and to-be processed documentation, and the associated requirements for final validation. This ensures a shared vision and involves:
Interloc’s significant experience in working with both large and small businesses with varying degrees of technical adoption has made us an industry leader in helping companies successfully navigate the change management process. Our thorough change management approach will ensure your Maximo implementation is well received and well executed, providing quality data and positive results to your organization.
Maximo implementation success is directly related to communication to the users and their preparedness for change.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT) ensures that your users get what is expected. Interloc recommends a phased approach to UAT. Interloc works with our clients to determine the testing process, format of test scripts, requirements and responsibilities for test scripts, and issues tracking.
Additionally, Interloc further helps to construct the tests and provide mechanisms for tracking and resolving issues. Clients would normally conduct the tests themselves, with Interloc providing assistance and reworking for any identified items.
Data can come from: legacy systems, user spreadsheets, or directly from the workers in the field.
Once the data to be migrated is identified, Interloc analyzes the data and determines how to map it from the existing sources to Maximo. To assist with data loading through the MIF and to reduce the repetitive tasks involved in configuring the MIF for each data load, Interloc has developed universal data-loading tools for mapping, performing data loads, and monitoring progress through the MIF.
JUnit automated testing to simplify all stages of testing. Whenever a change is made in Maximo, it may require dozens, sometimes hundreds, of regression tests to verify the correct operation of both the new functionality and the existing functionality. Manual test scripts are very time-consuming and often impractical to perform for regular releases. For this reason, Interloc has developed specific extensions to the automated testing tool JUnit to allow it to interact with Maximo. We have developed a base Maximo test fixture that provides base features for logging in and out of Maximo as specified users, performing work-flow actions, interacting with MBO objects, as well as providing utility methods for performing spell checking (useful for checking workflow instructions) and other laborious tasks.
