The Challenge

A leading energy utility was running Maximo 7.6 with extensive customizations and needed to migrate to MAS 8.x. The complex customizations, integrated third-party systems, and the need for zero production downtime made this a high-risk project with tight deadlines.

Our Solution

Our team developed a comprehensive migration strategy that included: • Automated migration tools to handle custom object structures • Comprehensive testing framework with automated regression testing • Phased rollout strategy to minimize risk • Custom integration adapters for third-party systems • 24/7 monitoring during the transition period
