Case Study Overview: Maximo to Octave Attune Migration

A power plant cannot operate without a live EAM system. Every day of delay was a day of operational risk. Every error in migration was a potential safety and compliance liablity.

The Challenge

The transition team faced three converging pressures:

  • Strict Timeline Constraints: The legacy IBM Maximo system had to be decommissioned with zero transition period, zero vendor assistance, and no documentation.
  • Data Complexity: Over 1,000 critical plant assets—including full maintenance histories, compliance files, and work orders—had to be migrated without data loss.
  • Internal Debate: While some internal stakeholders pushed for SAP Plant Maintenance, leadership deliberately chose a dedicated, best-of-breed EAM to lay the foundation for their future digital twin and IT/OT strategy.

Operational Shift: Before vs. After

The Solution & Implementation

The Sprint

The team delivered an initial Minimum Viable Product (MVP) cutover in just * 7 days, with Phase 1 fully completed within a single month.
* 7 days is a one-off, unprecedented timeline. Normally, this duration is in weeks for regular implementations."

Process Optimization

Replaced Maximo’s cumbersome 7-to-8-layer manual approval cycles with automated, role-based digital work permits.

ImageGrafix executed a rapid migration strategy built directly around the Maximo and Octave Attune data models:

Expanded Scope & Mobility

Enabled native mobile field execution for technicians on Day 1 without expensive add-ons, and extended asset tracking to mobile equipment and fleet vehicles for the first time.

Change Management

Addressed the skepticism of veteran technicians by providing hands-on training and adoption support to build a proactive maintenance culture.

The Results & Future Roadmap

The deployment achieved a 9/10 Net Promoter Score (NPS) from the Group CTO for both the software performance and ImageGrafix’s deployment services. Today, the plant operates with entirely digitized safety processes and a proactive engineering team.

With the foundation successfully established, the group is moving up the asset data maturity curve with a defined roadmap.
