Managed Cloud

Scalability, flexibility and reliability from Managed Cloud for IBM Maximo^®

With the huge array of IT options and systems now available, and an ever-changing IT landscape, many organisations are finding that it suits them better to run major software systems using a Managed Cloud or ‘Software as a Service’ (SaaS) model.

This is especially so when you are looking at integrating a major new system, such as IBM Maximo^®. All of the information coming in to your Maximo^® system can be transferred via the internet. So it makes perfect sense to continue the ‘hub and spoke’ model to the hosting of Maximo^®. Your Maximo^® installation can be hosted totally in the Cloud, and your users log in to it remotely, from anywhere.

The benefits to you of using our Managed Cloud Service for IBM Maximo^® are:

Security
Scalability

Reliability
Cost efficiencies
