Why Mobility Matters: Extending Maximo Beyond the Desktop

Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) has evolved significantly over the past decade. While organizations have long relied on IBM Maximo to manage work orders, assets, and maintenance activities, today’s workforce expects access to the same information wherever work happens—not just from a desktop computer.

As organizations strive to improve productivity, data quality, and operational visibility, mobility has become a critical component of a modern EAM strategy. Extending Maximo to technicians, inspectors, warehouse staff, and operations teams empowers users to capture information at the source, make faster decisions, and keep work moving without unnecessary delays.

At this year’s MaximoWorld Conference, Arora’s Enterprise Solutions Group will explore how mobile technologies are helping organizations get more value from their Maximo investment through two educational sessions focused on business analytics and inventory management.

Putting Business Intelligence in the Hands of the Workforce

Business intelligence is most valuable when it’s available at the moment decisions are being made. Traditionally, dashboards and reports have been limited to supervisors and office staff, leaving field personnel without immediate access to the operational information they need.

By extending EAM data to mobile devices, organizations can provide technicians and managers with real-time visibility into asset performance, work order status, maintenance trends, and key performance indicators—all while work is being performed.

This enables organizations to:
• Make faster, data-driven decisions in the field
• Improve work prioritization and resource allocation
• Increase visibility into maintenance performance
• Reduce delays caused by returning to the office for information

These concepts will be explored during our session, “Extending Business Analytics & Reporting to Your Mobile Device,” where we’ll demonstrate how organizations can move beyond static reporting and deliver actionable insights directly to the workforce.

Modernizing Inventory and Bench Stock Management

Inventory management is another area where mobility is transforming day-to-day operations.
Whether issuing parts, receiving shipments, performing cycle counts, or managing bench stock, many maintenance organizations still rely on manual processes that slow technicians down and introduce opportunities for error.

Mobile inventory solutions simplify these activities by allowing users to:
• Scan barcodes for faster, more accurate transactions
• Update inventory in real time
• Perform receiving, issuing, and returns from the field
• Improve inventory accuracy and warehouse efficiency

Our second MaximoWorld session, “Inventory & Bench Stock is a Few Clicks Away with Your Mobile Device,” will highlight practical strategies for streamlining warehouse operations while ensuring maintenance teams have the parts they need when they need them.

Extending the Value of Maximo

Mobility is about more than replacing paper forms or enabling remote access—it’s about connecting people, assets, and information across the enterprise.

Arora ATLAS extends IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) with mobile work order management, inspections, inventory, and geospatial capabilities that help organizations simplify field operations while improving data quality and operational visibility. As part of Arora’s Enterprise Solutions Group, these capabilities integrate with our broader expertise in enterprise asset management, GIS, business analytics, and data interoperability to help clients maximize the value of their technology investments.
