Why SaaS Hosting with IBM Is a Smart Move for Asset Management

Managing infrastructure isn’t usually the part of asset management that gets people excited (well, except the Nxt Era team!). Between scaling environments, orchestrating containers, applying patches, and troubleshooting outages, it can quickly become a time-consuming and complex responsibility. Happily, IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) SaaS offers a way to simplify this situation. 

Specifically, with MAS SaaS, IBM shoulders the burden of infrastructure management. Your team gains access to a secure, scalable, and fully managed cloud environment, relieving you of the need to build, maintain, or troubleshoot it yourself. The platform promises reliability and growth potential, eliminating the usual Kubernetes worries and unexpected downtime events. 

A key advantage of MAS SaaS lies in its innovative consumption-based pricing structure. Instead of budgeting for fixed capacity or overprovisioning as a precautionary measure, you pay only for actual resource usage. This approach streamlines budget forecasting and eliminates uncertainty in future capacity planning, promoting a smarter and more cost-effective approach to resource management, especially in times where you need the resources. 

For businesses where asset performance and uptime are paramount, this model just makes a lot of sense, generally speaking. This approach allows you to redirect internal teams from routine infrastructure maintenance activities to focus on strategic goals, such as driving innovation or enhancing operational efficiency. So that you can concentrate on delivering value, IBM handles the technical details. 

Furthermore, MAS SaaS offers automated updates, built-in security, and continuous monitoring, to complement its infrastructure and pricing benefits. These features, in most cases, help maintain the security, currency, and performance of your Maximo environment without necessitating manual intervention, something we know you will enjoy. 

IBM MAS SaaS effectively revolutionizes asset management. Not merely by cloud-hosting Maximo, but by empowering your organization to achieve increased productivity with greater ease through a stable, cost-effective, and scalable platform that takes away the burdens of infrastructure.
