Maximo Open Forum

We are finding the new MAS architecture to be prohibitively complex and expensive, and far beyond what we need.  As a result, we are actively looking for  a replacement product.  Anyone else is the same boat?

Any recommendations for alternative products we should look at?

I watched a webinar yesterday where one of the discussion points was different tiers of a SaaS Maximo offering, making it more affordable to smaller businesses.  So, maybe that's an option for you.  Otherwise, finding a replacement solution would highly depend on your industry, budget, capabilities, and -- most importantly -- business requirements.  What parts of Maximo do you find useful?  What needs improvement? Which parts are useless to you? Figure out what's right for your organization -- even if it's something outside of the EAM or CMMS space -- and buy the best thing you can afford.

We too will almost certainly be leaving Maximo in the next few years, due to the increased cost, complexity, and not needing most of the additional features that are provided in return for that increased cost -- it's outgrown us.

We (a university campus) are in the same boat, and would love to explore alternatives.  I'm interested in whether there are software-agnostic consultants out there who could assist us in drafting an RFP and selecting a system.  Most of the consultants I've come across specialize in the implementation of just one (sometimes two) software solutions.

We have been fighting moving to SAP since 2011, now they may have a reason to make us move. Do they listen to their customers or is it that the purchased Redhat?
