Maximo® Integration

Schedule Types

The AKWIRE™ Visual Scheduler extends IBM Maximo’s traditional Enterprise Asset Management capabilities with a powerful planning and scheduling tool. Our product is compatible with all versions of Maximo®, and its use is enjoyed and valued by many clients throughout different industry sectors.

The AKWIRE™ Visual Scheduler incorporates specialized objects designed and built specifically to handle your Maximo® data, as opposed to more general planning and scheduling tools meant for managing construction projects to weddings with no built-in knowledge of Maximo®. For instance, when working with Maximo® work orders in your schedule, the AKWIRE™ object associated to a work order is fully aware of its Maximo® data and functionality, and will offer specialized menu items, such as Change Status with a list of valid statuses, including your status synonyms.

Integration points and benefits:

IBM Maximo® is used to store and manage asset, location and preventive maintenance and work order master data.
