IBM Maximo Asset Management. The Consultant’s Guide.

This book was written by a Maximo consultant for Maximo consultants to help them lead implementation projects better and faster. The book covers how to effectively and efficently implement IBM Maximo Asset Management to bring value for customers. The book begins by describing how to prepare the project and run the workshops. There is an explanation of how to design the system and what deliverables will be. The latter chapters focus on the internal organization to make it productive.
