The world is in a race for energy, and operation and maintenance teams across the entire energy sector are challenged to improve efficiency to keep critical equipment running. Accessibility and document control are critical to achieving this. OpenText™ Extended ECM for IBM Maximo, a key component of Asset Information Management for Energy is poised to revolutionize how asset owners and operators across the entire global energy system manage their critical documents and streamline processes in this ever-evolving landscape.

The challenge of disconnected information

Operation and maintenance professionals rely on IBM Maximo to streamline their processes and ensure optimal equipment performance. Maximo serves as the central hub for managing assets, work orders, maintenance schedules, and more. However, while Maximo excels in asset management, it’s crucial to ensure seamless integration with other tools and applications in the operational ecosystem.

Without a robust integration solution, businesses often grapple with manual document-sharing methods, such as emails, paper-based documents, or disconnected file management systems. These disjointed processes hinder productivity, introduce document inaccuracies, and pose safety risks.

In the modern operation and maintenance landscape, being digital, connected, and efficient is essential. The integration of IBM Maximo with OpenText™ Extended ECM offers a strategic approach to modernize document management, connect critical information with business processes, and elevate operational excellence.

Benefits of Integrating IBM Maximo with robust document management system

Streamlining workflows and enhancing efficiency

OpenText Extended ECM for IBM Maximo manages unstructured content related to enterprise assets and maintenance processes over the complete asset lifecycle. It allows for more efficient collaboration in asset-related projects to improve reliability, safety during production, and to reduce downtime and outages of plants.
