Migration challenges

Challenges of a Maximo to MAS migration

Migrating to Maximo Application Suite is not just a technical update. The impacts affect architecture, data, integrations, processes and users.

Accumulated customizations and history

Years of customizations, workflows and specific objects represent a risk when moving to MAS. Each element must be audited before migration.

Critical data to secure

Assets, locations, work orders, inventory, maintenance plans — every repository must be controlled, cleaned and loaded reliably.

Integrations to remap and retest

ERP, BI, GIS, mobile applications, portals — interfaces connected to Maximo must be analyzed and validated in the new MAS context.

User adoption and change management

A successful migration also requires team preparation, training, documentation and startup support.

Our support

Our IBM Maximo migration support

From initial audit to go-live, Sinorfi masters every step of the Maximo to MAS migration project.

01

Existing environment audit

Analysis of current version, modules used, customizations, workflows, objects, interfaces, data volumes and technical dependencies.

02

Migration data preparation

Extraction, quality control, cleansing, transformation and loading strategy for Maximo repositories into the new environment.

03

IS integration migration

Analysis and remapping of connectors, APIs, ERP/BI/GIS interfaces and mobile applications to ensure continuity in MAS.

04

MAS architecture & configuration

Architecture choices, MAS module configuration, environment deployment (dev, acceptance, prod) and access security.

05

Testing & business acceptance

Unit tests, integration tests, UAT on critical processes, anomaly correction and go-live validation.

06

Go-live & post-migration support

Progressive go-live support, team training, startup support and MAS environment stabilization.

Migration approaches

Choose your path to MAS

There is no single way to migrate. Sinorfi analyzes your context — version, customizations, data, constraints — to recommend the most suitable path.

Low risk

In-place upgrade

Migration of the existing Maximo environment to MAS preserving customizations, data and interfaces as much as possible. Fastest path for lightly customized environments.

Short project timeline — 3 to 6 months depending on complexity
Maximum continuity of usage, workflows and data
Controlled cost and limited user disruption
Suitable for: lightly or moderately customized Maximo environments
Controlled risk

Cloud replatforming

Migration to MAS on cloud (IBM Cloud, ROKS, Azure) with customization rationalization. Uses the migration to optimize architecture, address technical debt and activate new MAS modules.

Rationalization of customizations and technical debt
Scalable cloud architecture with high availability
Activation of MAS modules: Mobile, Monitor, Health
Suitable for: environments with customizations to rationalize
Full transformation

MAS re-implementation

Full re-implementation on MAS with fresh configuration, workflows and business rules from best practices. Recommended when the environment is heavily degraded or a functional redesign is needed.

Optimal MAS environment with no technical legacy
Processes and workflows redesigned to MAS standards
Clean and lasting foundation for future developments
Suitable for: heavily customized, obsolete or redesigned environments
Methodology

Our migration approach

A proven methodology to secure every phase of the Maximo to MAS migration project.

01

Existing audit

Full environment inventory: version, modules, customizations, workflows, business objects, interfaces and data volumes.

02

Migration path scoping

Definition of the MAS migration path, architecture choices, planning, budget, governance and functional scope.

03

Data & integration preparation

Data extraction, cleaning, transformation and remapping of interfaces, connectors and APIs to the new MAS context.

04

MAS configuration & development

MAS module installation and configuration, customization migration and adaptation of workflows and business rules.

05

Testing & acceptance

Functional and technical tests, UAT on critical processes, anomaly correction and go-live validation.

06

Go-live & post-migration

Production cutover, team training, startup support and continuous improvement on MAS.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. It also affects processes, users, data, integrations, security and application governance.

Yes. An audit identifies risks, dependencies and impacts before defining a realistic migration path.

Depending on the context, a progressive migration path can be considered to reduce risks and prioritize critical perimeters.

Depending on complexity and chosen path: 3 to 6 months for an in-place upgrade, up to 12 to 18 months for a full re-implementation including complex integrations and functional redesign.

MAS includes Maximo Manage (EAM), Maximo Mobile, Maximo Health, Maximo Monitor (IoT/predictive) and Maximo Visual Inspection (AI). Availability depends on the IBM license subscribed.

IBM announced the end of standard support for Maximo 7.6 in 2025. Staying on 7.6 after this date exposes to growing risks of security, non-compliance, application compatibility and functional obsolescence.
