The Next Generation of Maximo will continue to help customers drive down the total cost of implementation and ownership of their Asset and Service Management applications. Of note, there are three new capabilities that will help customers to achieve this. Dynamic User Interface – The behavior of UI Controls such as Fields, Tables, Tabs, and Buttons can be conditionally controlled. Behavior includes visibility, edit-ability and requiredness. Example: In the Asset Application, the Safety and Meter tabs can be hidden for IT assets. In the Work Order Application, the Change Approver field can be hidden for non-Changes and visible and required for Changes. This will provide customers a way to configure the User’s experience to the context of their role and the data being managed without having the overhead of creating and maintaining new applications for varying user roles, asset classifications and work types. Enhanced SOA – Maximo’s Service Oriented Architecture will be enhanced to make it even easier to create and implement Web Services, and to leverage standards such as WS-Security. Migration Manager – In conjunction with the increasing configurability of the product, the Migration Manager provides a tool to migrate configurations of Maximo, and will be primarily used by customers to efficiently manage the Development to Test to Production environments that they deploy. The Next Generation of Maximo will also provide continued EAM market leadership with enhancements to Maximo’s best-in-class work management functionality. This includes, among many other improvements, enhanced status and process management for work, job plan hierarchies for better work planning and procedure re-use, and context specific attributes on work orders. The 7.1 version of Maximo will also introduce capabilities to support Linear, or Continuous, Assets – such as highways, rail, piping, etc. Of significant importance to the Transportation and Government sectors, these capabilities will allow complex linear assets and relationships to be efficiently modeled, and for work and maintenance history to be recorded against that model.
