IBM MAS SaaS uses Db2 as its cloud-native backend, whereas many legacy Maximo systems run on SQL Server or Oracle. To migrate, your existing database must be converted and optimised for Db2.

Without automation, re-platforming is time-consuming and error-prone. Risks include data loss, schema mismatches, reporting inconsistencies, extended downtime, and rollback failure. That’s why automation tools like Alchemise are critical.

Manual re-platforming can take months. With Alchemise, we’ve successfully migrated 200GB+ Maximo databases in as little as 10 days—fully tested and validated.

Minimal. We work to ensure your cutover fits within standard maintenance windows. Alchemise’s automated testing and rollback readiness help avoid extended disruptions.

No. Alchemise is an independent, best-in-class tool developed specifically for enterprise data migration and re-platforming. It is IBM-compatible and widely used across Maximo implementations globally.

Re-platforming involves moving the database to a new engine (Db2) while preserving structure and integrity. Traditional data migration often assumes same-to-same platforms. Alchemise handles both transformation and transport.

Alchemise scales with your needs. It has been used for databases exceeding 1TB and smaller environments alike, maintaining integrity, speed, and performance throughout.

Only during the final cutover phase. We can perform most of the transformation work while your current Maximo system remains live, reducing business impact.

Alchemise includes built-in validation, reconciliation, and audit reporting, giving you confidence that every record and relationship has been preserved and properly re-mapped.

No problem. Alchemise can detect and transform custom fields, tables, and extensions as part of the re-platforming process, with full transparency.

We work with your integration team to map out dependencies and test them post-migration. The MAS SaaS environment includes new API and integration methods, which we help align with your ecosystem.

While most clients use Alchemise for one-time MAS SaaS upgrades, it can also support future upgrades, test environment refreshes, or any situation requiring repeatable data transformation.

Yes. We offer pilot programs and proof-of-concept migrations for selected data sets to demonstrate the speed and accuracy of the tool before full rollout.

Clients typically save 40–70% in delivery costs by avoiding lengthy SQL script development and manual data wrangling. Faster delivery also means reduced business disruption.
