1.2.3 Integrating with Existing Enterprise Applications

From a functional standpoint, most businesses already have huge IT investments. There is often the question - “Does installing Maximo mean I get rid of existing applications?” The answer is - No. Maximo offers a very robust integration platform to integrate with any existing applications and maintain a ‘single version of truth’.

Some of the integration with leading enterprise systems are already available in the form of adapters where as some have to be custom built, as the need may be. Maximo is a Java based solution with an open architecture and therefore custom building integrations is not a daunting task.

Maximo Asset Management Essentials provides support for a set of standard integrations, but does not ship with the capability to customize those adapters or build new ones. The Integration Framework, previously known as the Maximo Enterprise Adapter (MEA) be procured as an add-on from IBM to facilitate these integrations.
