Eliminate the IT management burden so you can focus on your core business
Let Cohesive handle the full lifecycle of MAS – from initial set up and cloud migration to ongoing infrastructure management.
The IT challenge of MAS
Red Hat OpenShift can be a complex learning curve
MAS introduces new complexity across OpenShift, cloud infrastructure, and ongoing management. Without the right expertise, performance, uptime, and cost control become difficult to maintain.
Many organizations find:
- Expertise across OpenShift, cloud, and Maximo is rare
- Cloud costs can quickly spiral without the right governance
- Multi-tenant environments increase risk of downtime and security exposure
- Migrating to MAS introduces integration and data risks
- Internal teams are stretched and lack capacity for MAS management

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between self-managed hosting, third-party managed hosting, and IBM MAS SaaS?
If you decide to deploy MAS in the cloud, you have several options: You can manage your own cloud environment, you can rely on a third-party like Cohesive that also include managed services. Or, you can deploy IBM MAS SaaS on IBM cloud.
With self-managed cloud hosting or a third-party hosting provider, you can use on-premise AppPoints. Third-party hosting and managed service providers can also include hosting within Embedded Solution Agreements. IBM MAS SaaS uses SaaS AppPoints.
What does a MAS cloud migration look like? How long does it take?
We have a two-week provisioning target. Overall, this is a technical exercise with minimal lift from the business. The process consists of six key steps:
- Current environment analysis
- Stand up new architecture
- Copy database to new hosting provider
- Connect integrations and other external network connections to lower environments
- Perform regression testing
- Go-Live
How much does MAS hosting cost?
MAS hosting fees are estimated on a case-by-case basis using a tiered model.
