The University Facilities Operations and Maintenance department commissioned GenesisSolutions to conduct a review of the use of the current maintenance system and to develop a plan to deploy Maximo at the University. One of the major drivers for this upgrade was to implement the best-practices- based system solution and establish the foundation for future work process automation alongside a best-practices maintenance process. The architecture for Maximo 6.2 represents a significant change from the architecture currently in use at the University, as Maximo 6.2 is built on a standards-based Internet architecture and now operates within a web browser. In addition, Maximo 6.2 offered a new reporting tool, Actuate, and provides a new integration tool, the Maximo Enterprise Adapter (MEA).
GenesisSolutions will provide application and technical assistance to the University to implement IBM’s Maximo 6 EAM Application. Genesis was brought in because of their extensive knowledge and ability to provide a complete solution from Gap Analysis to fully implemented production system and support. In addition, Genesis has an excellent track record working with Facilities of similar size in the higher education industry.
Genesis Role
GenesisSolutions provided various services for the past 4 years. Genesis was contracted to conduct a detailed Gap Analysis of their current home grown legacy system versus upgrading to Maximo 6.2. The Gap Analysis was to highlight the technical differences between the two systems, provide method(s) for addressing the differences when upgrading to Maximo 6.2, and recommend the best method based on industry knowledge and UDE’s requirements. Based on the Gap Analysis, GenesisSolutions was selected as a vendor to conduct the Business Process Review (BPR) sessions, upgrade planning and implementation of Maximo 6.2
Actions Taken
GenesisSolutions performed the following tasks to upgrade APS EAM System from Maximo 4.1.1 to Maximo 6.2.
Initial Gap Analysis
Business Process Review
Upgrade Implementation Planning
Project Management support throughout the System Implementation Cycle
Full implementation support involving the following
