Migration from EAM to IBM MAS

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 EAS to IBM MAS requires careful planning and execution. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth transition: 

Assess Your Current EAS Environment 

Begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your existing EAS environment. Identify the assets managed by EAS, the associated data, and any customizations made. This groundwork sets the stage for a well-informed migration strategy. 

Plan Your Migration 

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. 

Migrate Your Data 

Execute the migration plan by transferring data from EAS to IBM MAS. Utilize a reliable migration tool and follow best practices to ensure data integrity and completeness throughout the process. 

Test Your Migration 

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. 

Roll out with IBM MAS 

Once you are confident in the migration results, proceed with the final phase. Decommission EAS and seamlessly transition all users to IBM MAS. Provide training and support to facilitate a seamless adoption.
