What is in the suite

Maximo Manage

The core asset and work management application, and the successor to Maximo 7.6. It covers assets, locations, work orders, preventive maintenance, inventory, purchasing, contracts, and service requests, with industry solutions and add-ons available on top.

Health, Predict, and Monitor

Suite applications that extend Manage with asset condition scoring, failure prediction, and operational data from sensors and control systems. They help maintenance teams move from calendar-based work towards condition-based decisions.

Maximo Mobile and Visual Inspection

Maximo Mobile gives technicians and inspectors role-based apps that work online and offline. Visual Inspection applies computer vision models to images and video to detect defects during inspections.

Red Hat OpenShift platform

MAS runs as containers on Red Hat OpenShift, on-premises or in the cloud. A deployment can be a compact Single Node OpenShift (SNO) environment or a full cluster, depending on scale and availability needs.

AppPoints licensing

MAS is licensed through AppPoints, a shared pool of entitlements that users draw on according to the applications and access level they use. Sizing AppPoints correctly is an important part of upgrade planning.

From Maximo 7.6 to MAS

Moving from Maximo 7.6 to MAS changes the platform, the licensing model, and parts of the user interface, while preserving your data and most configurations. A structured assessment identifies what needs rework before the upgrade.

Questions and answers

Maximo and MAS: common questions

What is the difference between Maximo and MAS?

Maximo usually refers to the asset management product, most recently Maximo 7.6. IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) is the current offering, in which the Maximo 7.6 functionality continues as the Maximo Manage application alongside other suite applications, all running on Red Hat OpenShift.

Can MAS run on-premises?

Yes. MAS can be deployed on-premises on Red Hat OpenShift, in a public cloud, or consumed as a service from IBM. On-premises deployments are common where data residency or network isolation is required.

Do we need every application in the suite?

No. Many organizations start with Maximo Manage and Maximo Mobile, then add Health, Monitor, or Predict when they have the data and processes to benefit from them.
