Maximo 7.6 Extended Support
Stay supported on Maximo 7.6 while you plan MAS properly
The end-of-support clock on Maximo 7.6 does not need to force a panic upgrade. We keep your 7.6 estate supported, audited and secure while you build the MAS business case at the right pace.
IBM has set out a clear direction of travel from classic Maximo 7.6 into the Maximo Application Suite. For some organisations that means moving now. For others, it means staying on 7.6 for another 9 to 18 months while regulatory, budget or programme constraints settle. Both are legitimate. We support both.
What Extended Support covers
- SLA-backed application support for your 7.6 estate
- Incident management, configuration changes and integration care
- Security patching coordination with your IT team
- Environment hygiene and audit support
- Direct advice on what should and should not change while MAS is planned
The bridge to MAS
Extended Support is most valuable when paired with structured pre-upgrade work, so that when you are ready, the move is short and predictable. We typically combine 7.6 Extended Support with:
- A fixed-price Maximo to MAS upgrade when the business case is ready
- Integration audits so MAS does not inherit fragile interfaces
- Data quality work so the new system does not start dirty
- AppPoints sizing so the commercial side of MAS is clear before you commit

Frequently asked questions
- What is happening with IBM Maximo 7.6 support?
- IBM has set out an end-of-support timeline for classic Maximo 7.6, with extended support and migration paths into MAS. The exact dates and options change over time and depend on your IBM contract; the practical question for most organisations is how to stay supported, audited and secure while planning the move to MAS at the right pace.
- What does MaxIron Maximo 7.6 Extended Support cover?
- Application support for your Maximo 7.6 estate: incident management, configuration changes, integration support, security patching coordination, environment hygiene, and clear advisory on what should and should not change while you plan the MAS move. SLA-backed and run by senior people who have lived with 7.6 for years.
- Why not just upgrade to MAS now?
- For some clients, that is the right answer and we will say so. For others, a 9 to 18 month bridge on 7.6 fits the regulatory, budgetary or programme reality better. We will tell you which case you are in.
- Can you take over support of a 7.6 estate from another partner?
- Yes. We onboard 7.6 estates regularly, including ones with significant customisation and integration debt. Onboarding includes a written assessment of risk and a prioritised stabilisation plan.
- How do you help us bridge to MAS from 7.6?
- We pair Extended Support with structured pre-upgrade work: customisation rationalisation, integration audits, data quality work, and a fixed-price MAS quote when you are ready. See the Maximo to MAS upgrade page for how the upgrade itself runs.
Stay supported on 7.6. Move to MAS when the business is actually ready.
