Moving to IBM's Maximo Application Suite (MAS) as a SaaS might feel like a huge undertaking. The thought of moving critical asset management systems to a new platform often raises concerns about complexity, downtime, and risk. The good news is that with the right partner, the journey does not have to be overwhelming.  Nxt Era, we focus on helping organizations to upgrade and/or migrate. We use a structured, proven approach that makes the process smooth and strategic.

When organizations consider how to run IBM Maximo, the choice often comes down to two models: traditional on‑premises hosting or MAS SaaS. Both approaches have their merits, but they deliver very different experiences. Understanding the trade‑offs helps you decide which model best supports your business goals. 

Running Maximo on your own infrastructure can look like a cost‑effective choice. You buy the hardware, install the software, and manage everything in‑house. On paper, it seems straightforward. But when you look closer, the hidden expenses start to add up. What appears to be a “cheap” setup often turns into a costly burden. 

One of the biggest misconceptions about moving to a SaaS model is that you lose control. For many IT leaders, the idea of handing over infrastructure management feels like giving up ownership of the system. With IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) SaaS, that is not the case. Going SaaS does not mean surrendering control. It means focusing on the parts that matter most.

Your IT team has more important things to do than watching servers. In today’s changing business environment, the demands on technology teams are greater than ever.
