For CIOs and equivalent

IBM Maximo for CIOs

You own the platform, the cost, the upgrade story and the security posture. The decision in front of you is rarely "Maximo or not" — it is "what does this platform look like on day 1,000". The MaxIron view: integration, environments and upgrade paths are first-class concerns from day one, and one accountable partner across implementation, MAS upgrade and managed hosting is the operating model that survives a change of CIO.

Day-one problems

What people in this role bring to us first

MAS upgrade is on the executive roadmap and the receiving team is uncertain

We start with a trial upgrade in week one — one non-production environment, real data, real cutover plan. The board converts unknown unknowns into governable execution risk before signing the rest.

Hosting and ops are eating internal capacity that should be on assets

Managed Maximo hosting on enterprise-grade cloud, run by engineers who specialise in MAS. Patching, backups, monitoring and incident response under SLA, with full visibility through MaxIron Cloud Manager.

Customisation drift is making every change risky and slow

We modernise legacy Java customisation into automation scripts and configuration so the platform is upgrade-safe, and put change behind MaxIron Change Control with a clean audit trail.

Integrations are fragile and nobody quite owns them

Production-grade Maximo integrations with ERP, GIS, SCADA, identity and finance — observability, ownership, retry behaviour and credential rotation built in, not bolted on.

Security and audit posture needs to be defensible, not aspirational

Cyber Essentials held, ISO 27001 certified, GDPR-compliant by design, and a documented sub-processor list. The trust story is not a slide deck — it is the way the platform is run.

Outcomes

What good looks like, six to twelve months in

  • A predictable MAS upgrade with no last-minute surprises at the steering committee
  • Internal team back on assets and reliability instead of patching and certificate rotation
  • Configuration-first delivery that survives the next MAS upgrade
  • Integrations you can govern, observe and own
  • A trust story you can put in front of an auditor
