Case Study: Broward County achieves faster, more efficient utility asset management with IBM Maximo and hybrid cloud

Broward County transforms with Maximo Application Suite, enhancing operational efficiency and mobile work execution

Broward County Water and Wastewater Services needed to modernize its aging asset management system as it neared end-of-support, creating limits around maintenance, scalability, and mobile work execution. The county turned to IBM for help, using IBM Maximo Application Suite with IBM Cloud Satellite and Red Hat OpenShift to support its on-premise environment and improve asset tracking.

IBM implemented a hybrid cloud solution that integrated Maximo Mobile, smart tagging, and faster deployment processes, enabling field staff to work more efficiently and access data on mobile devices. The results included a 90% reduction in environment provisioning time, a production environment ready in three weeks, a 100% successful database migration with zero data loss, and a projected 50% reduction in future upgrade effort.
