My name is John Cosper and I have been an IBM Maximo professional for 14 years. My site provides technical training in system administration and development of IBM Maximo.
Training for IBM Maximo is expensive. Moreover, it is hard to learn advanced concepts related to IBM Maximo because training only covers entry level concepts. My purpose is to create training activities to help online learners advance knowledge towards intermediate and advanced activities often outsourced to expensive Maximo consulting companies.
One of the most important things one can do with an expensive enterprise application such as IBM Maximo is to install it according to best practices.
Using the Maximo Integration Framework (MIF) is essential for integrating Maximo with other applications. I teach how to do this with external iface tables.
Many who customize IBM Maximo break the out-of-box functionality by extending java classes. I teach how to customize Maximo using automation scripts. The best languages to use for Automation scripts are Python or Javascript.
Most enterprise applications are being deployed in a cloud infrastructure like Amazon Web Services. I teach how to get started by launching an AWS EC2 instance in just a matter of minutes. AWS has a free tier that allows you to launch servers for free. Get started by watching the video on AWS Instances. Once you launch an AWS EC2 instance, you can install and configure IBM Websphere and Maximo or any enterprise application. You can add resources such as CPUs, RAM, and storage after installing your server. Cloud computing is the future of IT infrastruction so get started by learning a Amazon Web Services.
