Common obstacles limit Maximo ROI

Already using Maximo but
not seeing the results you want?

Most organizations don’t struggle because they lack Maximo. They struggle because Maximo isn’t fully aligned to how their business operates.

Across organizations, the same patterns emerge:

  • Incomplete or inconsistent data
  • Systems that don’t talk to each other
  • Fragile customizations
  • Lack of governance 
  • Manual tracking and legacy spreadsheets

Frequently Asked Questions

Sometimes Maximo doesn’t deliver results because the organization turns against the system. It’s not the fault of the system. It’s because Maximo wasn’t implemented correctly or expectations weren’t properly set. Cohesive addresses those issues with optimization services that include assessments, data management, configuration and de-customization, change management, training, and more.

Cohesive helps you figure out how to start your MAS optimization journey so you don’t waste time and can build on your foundation. Cross-functional collaboration is key to our approach. We bring together reliability engineers, operations leaders, and financial decision-makers so everyone is aligned on the data, metrics, and roadmap to achieve shared outcomes.
The potential outcomes for a MAS initiative are so great that it can be easy to forget what it takes to make sure your organization adopts the new way of working. You don’t want to revert back to the old way of doing things in six months. Cohesive’s approach includes organizational change management, coaching, and training, to make sure your organization can easily adopt new workflows.

Asset Performance Management requires cultural change. Sometimes organizations have sensors, dashboards, etc., but technical teams don’t trust data. The key is to bring maintenance, reliability, IT, operations, and finance teams together to put trust in systems, and help middle management communicate to earn trust in the trades. To help prepare your organization, Cohesive offers training and organizational change management, including role-based curricula, adoption accelerators, communication strategy development, quick reference guides, train-the-trainer programs, instructor-led training, and e-learning programs.

Each organization has different opportunities to optimize Maximo. You will likely see relatively larger gains when adopting smarter preventative maintenance strategies. By doing the right work, on the right asset, at the right time, you can minimize costs while ensuring assets are reliably and safely supporting revenue generating activities.  

Yes, many companies that aren’t ready for RCM have benefited from re-engineering their work order management, preventative maintenance, and supply chain processes for greater productivity and efficiency. 

Common data services needed by Maximo customers across all industries are defining data standards and hierarchies and item master consolidation.
