  • And it’s Maximo roadmap is packed with Reliability Strategy Builders and Advanced Analytics.

  • MAS product versioning will standardize with the introduction of MAS 9.0 in 2024.
  • All MAS products (including Maximo Manage, Monitor, Health and Predict) will utilize the same version number within each release.  (e.g., MAS 9.0 will contain Maximo Manage 9.0 and Maximo Manage 9.0)
