Product overview

IBM® Maximo Anywhere is a next-generation mobile application platform that enables you to securely access IBM Maximo® Asset Management functionality from a mobile device.

Maximo Anywhere provides a suite of connected and disconnected apps that focus on asset, inventory, and work management. The mobile apps seamlessly integrate with Maximo Asset Management to enable mobile users to view and update critical information anytime and anywhere. Configurable user interfaces allow you to adapt the mobile apps to meet your business needs.

Most of the default Maximo Anywhere mobile apps can be used both online and offline. When the worker is online, the app is connected to the server, and data is synchronized in real time. When the worker is offline, the app is disconnected from the server but remains operational. The worker can continue to work with secure data collections that are stored on the device. Data is synchronized when connectivity is restored.

Maximo Anywhere provides a wide range of features to mobile users, including map views. A map view enables mobile workers to access the geographical location of work orders in their work lists. Device-specific features, such as bar code scanning, voice-to-text, and the camera, are used to provide a complete integrated mobile experience.
