Make Maximo Work Like It Was Meant To

You Paid for Maximo. So Why Does It Feel Like a $1M Spreadsheet?

Let’s be honest:

• PMs are late.

• Technicians enter the bare minimum.

• Supervisors close work orders just to move them off the backlog.

• And reporting? Nobody trusts it.

Meanwhile, your team is overwhelmed, your data is a mess, and leadership is asking,

“Didn’t we already solve this when we bought Maximo?”

You don’t have a software problem. You have a systems problem.

Frequently asked questions

Is this just another Maximo training course?

Not even close. This is a performance improvement system. It builds structure around Maximo, not just how to use it, but how to make it work for you.

Can this work in government or highly regulated industries?

Yes. Systems like IMPACT are designed to be used in manufacturing, utilities, and public sector operations.

Does this require MAS 8.x or is it 7.6.x compatible?

Works with all current Maximo versions. Tools are designed for Core Maximo (Manage) and are version-agnostic.

We’re already running lean. Who has time for another initiative?

You don’t need more time, you need a better process. IMPACT helps you recover wasted time by exposing bottlenecks, redundancies, and low-value work.

Our data is messy. Will this help?

That’s one of the first wins. IMPACT embeds data governance into every step. No clean-up? No compliance. We fix that fast.

What if we’ve already tried multiple frameworks and nothing stuck?

IMPACT is different, it combines strategic clarity with actionable tools, clear ownership, and a governance structure to make the change stick. It's designed for execution, not theory.

Our processes are unique. Will this really apply to us?

The system doesn’t replace your processes; it improves how you design, measure, and manage them. It’s flexible enough to fit any function, yet structured enough to drive measurable results.

Isn’t this just another version of Lean or Six Sigma?

IMPACT complements proven methods like Lean and Six Sigma but solves a different problem: it helps you operationalize excellence in real-world environments, regardless of the methodology. It brings structure, governance, and repeatability across departments, without requiring black belts or consultants to maintain.

What if we don’t have internal Maximo experts?

You don’t need experts, you need a system. Maximo experts will help, but IMPACT includes step-by-step guidance, pre-built templates, and optional consulting support for those who can't afford to bring on experts.

We already have KPIs, why would we need this?

KPIs without behavior-based controls are just numbers. IMPACT links KPIs to action, accountability, and real business impact.

What if we can’t get executive buy-in right away?

You don’t need full buy-in to get started. The IMPACT System is designed for momentum. Start small with a single function or pain point. The early wins create the internal case study that earns leadership support organically

Don’t Let Maximo Become Just Another Database

You bought Maximo to transform maintenance, not to babysit spreadsheets and close bad work orders.

The IMPACT System gives you the structure, visibility, and tools to turn Maximo into the operational backbone it was built to be.

Don’t wait until the next audit, the next failure, or the next budget cut.

Make Maximo work. Make it matter. Make it IMPACT.
