An Introduction to IBM Envizi

Organisations in all industries face significant sustainability challenges. With a growing number of stakeholders taking greater interest in this area (investors, consumers, employees and governments) it is essential that businesses and organisations clearly demonstrate that they are progressing towards more sustainable and socially responsible operations.

Envizi from IBM is an easy to adopt Software as a Service (SaaS) solution which offers comprehensive data and analytics software to collect, manage and derive insights from sustainability data. Envizi enables organisations to:

• Create a finance-grade, single system of record for their sustainability data

• Continually monitor and manage critical assets to eliminate asset failures that could cause environmental incidents
• Have confidence in the data being used for sustainability target setting, with both the operations and sustainability teams working from the same reliable data

Integrating Maximo and Envizi

Envizi enables your organisation to connect your ESG data management with the operational systems that drive transformation, including IBM Maximo. Both Maximo and Envizi are extremely valuable on their own – but even more powerful together.

Location hierarchy and related attributes are pushed from Maximo to Envizi and automatically kept in sync. This eliminates manual effort, saves time and provides more accurate and up-to-date information in Envizi.

Envizi can also report emissions savings tied to equipment replacement/maintenance done in Maximo. Maximo can create asset maintenance strategies based on the data received from Envizi.
