One of the Largest Water Wholesalers

An Upgrade Story

TRM supported one of the largest water wholesalers inthe U.S. as they migrated from Maximo 5.2 to 6.2. Weevaluated their existing business processes and explained

and identified new features of Maximo that could beused. We then made recommendations about how theycould improve their business processes using industry bestpractices and how the technology should be implemented tosupport these processes.

For the actual upgrade, TRM addressed:

Actuate reports

Screen updates

Database configurations

User training (system administrator, Maximoadministrator and end-user)

The upgrade was completed in their lab environment with

detailed documentation and upgrade plan. The entireproduction environment was upgraded using only a six-hour downtime window. TRM successfully upgraded thedevelopment, staging and production environments. Theentire project was completed in just under two months.

Each upgrade comes with its own unique challenges.During this project for example, TRM had to write customSQL scripts to remove inconsistencies in the legacydatabase in order for the upgrade tool to run. Also,during the upgrade TRM found issues with the upgradetool and the Actuate installer. TRM partnered with IBMand resolved the issues.

Additionally, TRM consultants will review a databaseexport o your database or create an environment wherea series o scripts can be run. These create objects andstatistics that are used or data validation.

your existing processes and current design documenta-

tion. We will then develop an agenda and work with youto determine the right personnel or the onsite workshop.
