IBM Maximo Asset Management. The Consultant's Guide.

by Robert Zientara

This book was written by a Maximo consultant for Maximo functional consultants to help them lead implementation projects better and faster. The book covers how to effectively and efficiently implement IBM Maximo Asset Management to bring value for customers. The book begins by describing how to prepare the project and run the workshops. There is an explanation of how to design the system and what deliverables will be. The latter chapters focus on the internal organization to make it productive. This part of the book can be helpful also for managers of Maximo implementation teams. The second part of the book describes how to make Maximo even better. Known issues and improvements are presented. You will find here also lot of configuration examples and sample content of the project deliverables.

That’s right I read this and I’m going to count it for my yearly Goodreads goal. It certainly wasn’t Maximo for dummies and since I read it to be a consultant for myself I got to skip the portions where it discusses appealing to the client. Overall it helped me grow my understanding of Maximo but I don’t think reading it has put me anywhere close to being an expert with the system.
