Upgrading to MAS SaaS with Millennium Insights
Re‑platform, modernise, and de‑risk your Maximo —
with a boutique team that’s done it before.
Maximo 7.6.x is winding down and the industry is moving to Maximo Application Suite (MAS) SaaS for managed hosting, continuous delivery, stronger security, and modern capabilities like Maximo Mobile and Asset Health Insights. Millennium Insights (MI) specialises in time‑boxed, low‑risk upgrades that bring you to MAS SaaS with clean data, working integrations, and a predictable cut‑over.
Why upgrade now
Data & analytics
Standardise data on Db2 (for MAS SaaS) and unlock better reporting and asset insights.
Roadmap access
Adopt new MAS capabilities without heavy rework.
Support & security
Keep your platform vendor‑supported and up to date with patching hardening, and cloud security controls.
Total cost of ownership
Reduce on‑prem infrastructure, patching effort, and upgrade projects.
Modern UX & mobility
Move from outdated mobile technology to Maximo Mobile with offline work, inspections, media capture, and guided flows.
Our MAS SaaS Upgrade Program
We deliver in clear phases with measurable gates. Most clients adopt the following path:
Discovery & Readiness (2–4 weeks)
Environment review, scope mapping, integration inventory, risk register, and a dated plan.
Environment Set‑up (MAS SaaS)
Tenant provisioning, org/site baseline, AppPoints/licensing alignment, and non‑prod sandboxes.
Data Re‑platforming to Db2 (Alchemize)
Automated schema mapping, referential integrity checks, delta strategy, and repeatable runbooks.
Customisation Remediation (Java → Automation Scripts)
Identify all legacy Java custom classes and extensions; remove where standard capability exists, and convert required logic to Automation Scripts (Jython/JavaScript) using object/attribute/cron launch points. Update configuration docs and include unit/functional tests in the dry‑run packs. This reduces upgrade risk, aligns with MAS 9.x supportability, and simplifies future maintenance.
Integrations & Identity
Align interfaces (REST/SOAP/Queues), email, and notifications. Identity management via Microsoft Entra ID (SCIM for provisioning) and Okta/SAML for authentication when required.
Mobile Uplift (Maximo Mobile)
Mobile app enablement, inspection forms, evidence capture, and contractor onboarding framework.
Dry Runs (3–4 cycles)
End‑to‑end rehearsal with tracked defects, timing targets, and cut‑over readiness criteria.
UAT & Business Readiness
Role‑based scenarios, training packs, support model, and go/no‑go sign‑offs.
Cut‑over & Go‑Live
Managed production window with rehearsed steps, communications plan, and rollback posture.
Hypercare (2–4 weeks)
Stabilisation, triage war‑room, and handover to BAU.

What the client said

“Thank you for your valued partnership… we could not have done this without you. Your domain expertise, local engagement, and collaborative approach—especially during the MAS SaaS upgrade—have been greatly appreciated.”

Risks we remove
Data integrity: Automated checks catch mismatched tables, orphan records, and schema drift.
Identity surprises: SCIM/SAML patterns avoid last‑minute access issues at go‑live.
Anywhere/EveryPlace sunset: A clear pathway to Maximo Mobile (not just screen parity).
Integration drift: Tested interface catalogue with success/rollback criteria per endpoint.
IBM process “unknowns”: We’ve been there, done that, and know the end-to-end IBM motions (tenant provisioning, AppPoints/entitlements, SRE change windows, security reviews, environment promotion). We anticipate gaps, broker escalations, and keep momentum so your cut-over stays on track.
