MAS Upgrade at Con Edison
•
Project Objectives
• To upgrade Con Edison Maximo from version 7.6.1.2 to Maximo
Application Suite 8.9
• Transfer existing integrations and customizations to the new
version of Maximo
• Provide end user and administrative training to support the
version change
• Expected Outcome
• MAS environments: Development and Test Environments, UAT,
Disaster Recovery, Production
• Maximo user group trained to understand the changes and work
in MAS 8
Project Go Live: September 2023

Key Takeaways from Con Edison's MAS Upgrade
• Technology
• Virtualization vs Containerization
• Connected vs Disconnected install
impacts
• Org Change Management
• User Experience
• Lessons Learned
• Steps to Readiness
• Business Benefits
• Leveraging new functionality
• Looking Ahead
Takeaway 1:
Assess Technology Related Impacts
Infrastructure
Virtualization

vs.
Containerization
Infrastructure
Master Nodes:
▪3 node minimum
▪Runs core components required
for OCP and Kubernetes
Worker Nodes:
▪3 node minimum
▪Run applications (Maximo JVM) and
several OCP components (ex. Ingress)
Each Node is a server.

Project Challenges
• Limited information
• Changes to infrastructure
• Consider IT processes
• Access privileges
• MAS Upgrade
Takeaway 2:
Manage Organizational Change
User Experience
• New Look & Feel
• Field placement changes within
Manage
• Application Suite administration,
User administration external to
Manage
• Generally minimal changes to
functionality *
Lessons Learned
• Recognize the complexities ahead of time, especially for
integrations and mobile solutions
• Establish a Training/Sandbox environment early on and grant
access to superusers and administrators
• Balance upgrade along with other ongoing
implementations/enhancements
•
Prioritize Regression Testing and establish a process for bug
fixes in the new version
MAS 8 - Steps to Readiness
• Recognize and fill skill-related gaps (RedHat, OpenShift
container platform etc.)
• Learn, share and begin using MAS 8 terminology (for
example: Manage vs Maximo)
• Promote early exposure to "What's New in MAS" training for
users, especially Maximo administrators/super users.
• Plan! The upgrade can be complex – review existing
infrastructure, integrations, customizations, etc.
• Understand and explore changed or additional capabilities
within MAS for your organization.

Realizing Benefits to the Business
LOOK AHEAD – Con Ed to deploy 12 Applications that were assessed to
address gaps in missing asset management system components

▪ Asset detail build
Integrates to existing platform and tool sets most
rapidly
Timely path to increasing effectiveness of
predictive maintenance, analytics, and modeling
◆
Most Cost Effective
Solution
Off line applications create many unnecessary
organizational work-around and additional steps
to create tasks in multi systems
All applications require ongoing support that can
be maximized if migrated to Maximo
