Dear Fellow Maximo Users,
It’s almost here, the autumn user group meeting, have you signed up yet?
Registration is open with a 100 place limit; so ensure you get in quickly.
We’re taking the user group to ‘Studio Manchester’. Travel links can be found on their website.
Agenda
To kick us off, Kim Woodbury gives us an insight into the Maximo roadmap for 2018 and beyond with some exciting news about what’s new in Maximo.
Having successfully upgraded the UK’s biggest power station to be a predominantly biomass-fuelled generator, Drax will be giving us an insight into their other conversion, ‘Draximo to Maximo’. The next chapter in their story that will explain how and why they made the transition from customised to configured, the benefits and what it felt like for the end user.
Salisbury Group is one of the UK’s leading providers of commercial facilities management solutions and manages more than 250 business premises and over 10 million sq ft across the UK. Salisbury’s Simon Bennett and Domenico D’Agostino, will talk us through the benefits they have derived from Maximo from a technical point of view. They'll also explain it from the user’s point of view detailing the challenges and successes.
The shoppers will be there, but will you be ready? November is the new December - in 2016 online shoppers spent $91 billion in that period of time alone and Cyber Monday became the biggest single online shopping day in history with $3.45 billion in sales. In 2017 the numbers will be bigger, so you need to be sure that your web and app can handle all the traffic that will come your way. You need to know that you can scale for user load as high as the sky, and even beyond.
We have a session with N Brown Group, a leading UK online retailer, hear their story on how they prepare for the busiest time of year. Sarah Ashton-Stevens, Portfolio Test Manager at JD Williams will be joined by Infuse and will share insights on holiday readiness, avoiding downtime and achieving record customer satisfaction results whilst discussing tools leveraged to support complete test coverage (which are compatible with the IBM Maximo product)
We also continue the less frantic approach allowing for more networking, something we identified and put in place from your feedback.
This event is being sponsored by Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, Mobile Informer, CognitoIQ, All Blue Solutions and IBM.
Make sure to say hello to the team, and feel free to bring any suggestions or ideas for the User Group to us! See you in November… Sign-up as soon as possible as there are limited places available, and we look forward to seeing you all on 15th November.
Registration is now open, so make sure to join us!
Best Regards,
Rich
