Maximo Migration and Management Services
Cost-Effective Migration to Maximo Application Suite (MAS) on OpenShift
IBM has ended support for Maximo Asset Management 7.6.1.x and related add-ons. Upgrading to Maximo Application Suite (MAS) is now essential, but it doesn’t have to be complex. Focus on data, operations, and security, then choose the deployment model that fits:
- IBM Maximo SaaS (multi-tenant public cloud)- A hosting provider running Maximo on OpenShift
- OpenShift in a public cloud
- OpenShift in your data centers
- A hybrid on-prem/cloud mix
With Maximo 8 on OpenShift, MAS with OpenShift is a popular path to cloud-native capabilities. Whether in the public cloud or on-prem, a well-executed migration improves performance and scalability. Bottom line: pick the right model; OpenShift, hybrid, or SaaS and evaluate total cost to move to MAS while keeping control of your infrastructure and spend.
