Strategic Planning

IBM Maximo Licensing & Infrastructure Sizing

Navigate the complexities of IBM AppPoints, PVU metrics, and Maximo Application Suite (MAS) infrastructure requirements. We ensure you only pay for what you need while guaranteeing enterprise-grade performance.

The High Cost of Guesswork

Transitioning from Maximo 7.6 to MAS 8 or 9 fundamentally changes how you license and host your EAM platform. Misinterpreting IBM's AppPoint model can lead to severe over-licensing, while underestimating Red Hat OpenShift infrastructure requirements leads to crippling system latency.

Afrimax Solutions acts as your independent advisor. We model your exact user concurrency, module usage, and data growth to architect a deployment that is cost-optimized, compliant, and highly performant.
