Hey there! Let's chat a bit about upgrading to Maximo Application Suite (MAS) 8 or 9, especially if you're considering this upgrade for your business. Julio has posted some great technical blogs about MAS in recent months, but I was looking recently and realized we don’t have any blog entries where we just have a chat about MAS and some basics of what it can do for you. So here we go.

Hey again! Kevin Wertz, functional consultant at Interloc comin’ at ya again with part 2 of my post from a couple weeks ago. If you didn’t read Maintaining a Maximo Roadmap Part 1, I would encourage you to go back and take a look! I discussed the importance of having a governance meeting with management stakeholders and to create a roadmap with a 5-year outlook for all the types of work it takes to make a successful, growing, Maximo system that will continue to have value for your organization.

If you just went live with Maximo, congratulations! Maybe now you’re thinking, what’s next? Or… maybe you’ve been live on Maximo for several years now and you’re having trouble managing all the requested enhancements of the system. Or… maybe you’re supporting a stagnating system; you’re handling break-fix tickets and small enhancements, but no one has a vision of how to improve the system and really take advantage of your investment.
