Maximo Upgrades
When TRM conducts a Maximo Upgrade for our clients, the projects typically include:
- Business/functional analysis
- Design
- Configuration
- Development
- Testing
- Training
- Implementation
- General management and coordination
- Post go-live support
System Planning and Design
Maximo technology changed dramatically for the web-architected version of Maximo 6.x or 7.x. So, TRM brings system engineers to work with our clients’ IT staff to identify the hardware specifications required to host an implementation of the next version of Maximo. If necessary, TRM can provide system-monitoring tools and assist the installation of additional hardware, as needed.
Set-up of Test Migration Environment
TRM consultants will typically create a test instance at both the clients environment and TRM’s locations. This includes making any copies of existing instances and databases, and installing of required Maximo 6.x or 7.x components (applications, database, reporting server).
Conduct Migration on Test Environment
Migration is always conducted in a test environment. During this phase TRM will work out any issues and will create scripts that are re-usable during the final migration phase. Much of the work completed in this phase will be applied to the production environment.
This upgrade path consists of the following steps:
- Migrate the database/data to the latest version of Maximo.
- Migrate Screen Configurations to Maximo 6.x or 7.x – IBM does not currently provide a screen migration tool, therefore all custom screen changes need to be re-created in Maximo 6.x and 7.x. TRM expertise with the Application Designer tool and customizing the presenation layer enable us to quickly and efficiently configure your new version of Maximo.
- Maximo custom applications, custom features and interfaces – TRM consultants update and/or re-create customizations that are required for a successful upgrade to the next version of Maximo.
- Maximo Reports – TRM consultants update existing Maximo reports to be compatible with the Maximo 6.x or 7.x implementation. TRM will make all changes necessary to comply with the updated database fields and structure.
