    I'm curious about the assumption that I would risk my credentials to copy and post something from ChatGPT.

    Regarding your point about Maximo, if you believe that some of the largest clients using Maximo aren't still on version 7.6.2, I can assure you that some of these projects have been running for years, with extensive Java customizations.

    In fact, I can name a few examples of clients who are still using the older version. 

    One of the challenges many Maximo users are facing right now is the need to translate these Java customizations into automation scripts.I've been using MAS 9 and the 7.6X

    version, and I just wanted to share my thoughts on some of the features that I found particularly interesting.

    I'm curious about what you mean by 'read it before posting.' If you could share what might be wrong with what I wrote, I'd be happy to elaborate if you're interested.

    Regards

    The point is that there were no Maximo 7.6.2 version.

    Latest Maximo version before MAS was 7.6.1.3, which on 30.09.2025 reached end of support version - so there will be no 7.6.2 for sure :)

    I have even tried to search web for Maximo Asset Management 7.6.2, but apparently only ChatGPT and similar AI "creations" have this version available ;)

    I have a somewhat different perspective on a few other points you raised, such as:

    • UI - it's just a change, for one user may be better, for another worse - but is it a revolution changing everything? I doubt
    • MAS better for handling massive amount of data? Really? Usually it's a database being bottleneck here - and this remains +/- unchanged within Maximo 7.6.1.3 -> MAS change
    • Integrations? To me - very similar possibilities.

    The most important change in MAS is architectural shift, which brings a lot of consequences, both positive and negative - but I miss them in your post.

    In general - your post looks like generated from marketing materials, containing wrong information, not providing any details nor examples to provided (controversial) arguments.

    hello

    Thank you for the clarification, I see where the confusion came from.

    What I meant to say was 7.6.1.2, not 7.6.2.

    My apologies for the misunderstanding.

    I also acknowledge your perspective on the other topics. You raise several valid points:

    • UI changes are often subjective
    • Performance is typically limited by the database layer
    • Integrations indeed remain similar in terms of capability.

    And you're right , the major shift in MAS is architectural, and that brings both advantages and challenges that weren't fully captured in my earlier post.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. It helped clarify several points and ensured the information stays accurate. If anything in my earlier message came across as marketing-oriented or lacking detail, that was not my intention.

    I appreciate you calling it out.

    Regards

    Dont forget about Graphite Applications. In Maximo 7.6.1.3 there are less applications available  and last version is only 9.0.0. 

    In MAS there are extra applications and they are in continues improvement
