For Head of Procurements and equivalent
IBM Maximo for Procurement and Commercial Leads
Your job is to land a partner the business is still happy with three years from now, on commercial terms that survive scope change. Maximo procurement gets messy when the deck people and the delivery people are different, when scope is vague, or when the framework is wrong. The MaxIron view: senior people on the bid, senior people on the work, fixed scope where it can be fixed, and a procurement route that fits how you actually buy.
Also relevant for: Commercial Director · Sourcing Manager · IT Procurement Lead · Category Manager
Day-one problems
What people in this role bring to us first
The bid people will not be the delivery people, and you can feel it
MaxIron is built around senior practitioners. The leadership team stays on the work. We name the people on your account in the proposal, with bios and references, before contract.
Public-sector procurement needs a framework, not a competitive procurement
MaxIron is listed on UK G-Cloud 14 (supplier 721548). Implementation, MAS upgrade, managed hosting, application support and Health Check are procurable directly through the framework.
You need to size the upgrade or the hosting move credibly before SteerCo
A trial upgrade in week one converts unknown unknowns into a governable cutover plan. For hosting, MaxIron Cloud Manager gives you tenanted, observable environments before the production cutover.
Outcomes
What good looks like, six to twelve months in
- A defensible partner shortlist with named people on your account
- An RFP that asks the right questions and reveals the right answers
- A G-Cloud-procurable route into MaxIron for UK public sector
- Sized, evidence-based budget for SteerCo before contract
