SPIE RODIAS – The Maximo Experts – Part 4:
Switching from MAS 8 to MAS 9 – More than just a version number

MAS has taken the next step: with MAS 9, we are focussing on evolution rather than revolution. Unlike the major technological leap from Maximo 7 to MAS 8, MAS 9 is a consistent further development based on the existing architecture. Existing strengths are retained, while new functions and improvements are integrated in a meaningful way.

What does this mean for companies?

✅Seamless upgrades: You can now switch directly from Maximo 7 or MAS 8 to MAS 9 – without technological barriers or complicated migration projects. The familiar architecture ensures a smooth transition and minimises downtime.

✅ Standardised licensing: The new AppPoints model gives you access to all modules and add-ons. Complicated licence structures are a thing of the past – full flexibility with maximum transparency.

✅Future-proof platform: MAS 9 consolidates tried-and-tested functions while opening up new possibilities for AI-supported asset management, predictive maintenance and intelligent process automation. This means you are ideally equipped for the challenges of the coming years.

Why this version leap?

With MAS 9, IBM is pursuing a clear mission: more flexibility, easier use and maximum efficiency for companies in an increasingly digital and data-driven world. MAS 9 provides the technological basis for making asset management processes smarter, more secure and more sustainable.
