Embedded Solution Agreement

Transform Your Maximo Investment with an ESA Contract

An IBM Maximo ESA (Embedded Solution Agreement) contract is a turnkey commercial licensing model where a certified IBM Maximo Managed Services provider integrates IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS 9) into their own cloud infrastructure and solution.

A Friction-Free Way to Consume Maximo

By unifying enterprise asset management software, Red Hat OpenShift cloud deployment, predictive maintenance software, and ongoing technical support under a single, all-inclusive partner agreement, this model simplifies EAM cloud migration, optimizes Maximo software costs, and converts traditional CapEx licensing into a predictable, OpEx-based turnkey EAM managed services contract.

MAS 9 Software

Full IBM Maximo Application Suite capabilities.

Red Hat OpenShift

Enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure & deployment.

Managed Support

24/7 ongoing technical support & maintenance.

Why the ESA Contract is Far Better Than Standard Licenses

Traditional IBM software licensing can often feel like an uphill battle for Enterprise Asset Management. Heavy upfront CapEx outlays, intricate AppPoints calculations, rigorous compliance audits, and juggling multiple vendors can slow down digital transformation.

What if there is a smarter, friction-free way to consume Maximo?
