Migration from EAM to IBM MAS
IBM Maximo Version 7.6 is approaching “End of Service” in the month of September 2025
Migration from EAM to
IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS)
Upgrading or Migrating to new IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) version 9.0 involves transitioning your existing Maximo (Enterprise Asset Management) deployment to the latest version of the suite. IBM Maximo Application (MAS) involves upgrading your asset management system to take advantage of new features, enhancements, and capabilities and a more integrated experience for managing various aspects of your organization’s operations.
Steps to upgrading/migrating to IBM Maximo Application (MAS) Suite
Maximo Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) System will be sunset on September 30, 2025. Following this deadline, IBM will no longer be providing support for Maximo 7.6.1 (or older versions) in the form of fixes, patches, and telephone support. Until that date, additional support may be delivered to solve critical defects or security vulnerabilities that may arise between now and the deadline.
Embarking on the journey from EAM to IBM Maximo Application Suite 9.0 (MAS) requires careful planning and execution. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth transition:Â
Assess Your Current EAM System EnvironmentÂ
Begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your existing EAM environment. Identify the assets managed by Enterprise Asset Management, the associated data, and any customizations made. This groundwork sets the stage for a well-informed migration strategy.Â
Plan Your MigrationÂ
With insights from the assessment, outline your migration plan. Define the migration scope, allocate a suitable timeline, and set a budget. Select an appropriate migration tool and methodology that align with your organization’s requirements.Â
Migrate Your DataÂ
Execute the migration plan by transferring data from Maximo EAM to IBM MAS 9.0. Utilize a reliable migration tool and follow best practices to ensure data integrity and completeness throughout the process.Â
Test Your MigrationÂ
Thoroughly test the migrated data within the IBM MAS environment. Validate asset visibility, data accuracy, reporting, and analytics functionalities. Address any discrepancies or issues before proceeding.Â
Roll out with IBM MASÂ
Once you are confident in the migration results, proceed with the final phase. Decommission EAM Application and seamlessly transition all users to IBM MAS. Provide training and support to facilitate a seamless adoption.Â
