￿Integrations: There can be multiple integration points in an implementation like HRMS, Invoicing, and Finance. and these can be both inbound as well as outbound. Only the generic integration adapters are available with Maximo Asset Management Essentials.

￿Modules: Not all the implementations comprise of usage of each and every module within Maximo Asset Management. This may depend on the business process of the organization and if there are any existing maintenance management software in place.

￿Level of Customization: The customization of different applications may vary from minor field re-labeling to cloning an entire application. Before the implementation begins, the implementation team should calculate the deviation of standard Maximo application from the requirements in place to decide on the necessary hardware to support this.

￿Reports: Reporting is an important component of any Maximo implementation. Management takes all the business decisions based on the data that is produced to them in the form of reports which is extracted using highly complex methods and scripts from the database. The number of such reports makes a huge impact on the performance of the system.

￿Language: Depending on the different languages that need to be supported by the system the complexity increases. System needs to ensure that data is stored in supported languages and when it is being displayed on the user interface it is in the language of the logged in user. Maximo Asset Management Essentials supports only the Base Language +1.

￿Add-ons:All the Add-ons that the implementation might require should be identified and listed to ensure that hardware sizing is done taking into account these as well.

￿Link Documents: If the organization decides to configure link documents and use this feature as a practice, then it should be ensured that the servers have necessary storage space and also attaching the documents is not creating storage and retrieval performance issues.
