IBM Maximo for Port Authorities & Transportation: Trusted Solutions for Critical Infrastructure

Scalable Asset Management for Port Authority and Transportation

Port Authorities and other organizations in the transportation industry need to manage diverse assets, including shipping and vehicle fleets, warehouse machinery, and equipment for handling cargo. Increases in global trade have created the need for shipping ports and other transportation hubs to expand to handle additional congestion. To accommodate necessary expansion while controlling costs, companies in the transportation industry need to make intelligent decisions about acquisitions, asset utilization, maintenance, and decommissioning using digital asset management. Our CIO Guide to the IBM Maximo Application Suite reports that 9 out of 18 of the busiest airports in the world rely on IBM Maximo for digital asset management. The IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) is the industry-leading Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solution for managing assets that are critical to the transportation industry. As an IBM Gold Partner and leading provider of Maximo solutions and services, Starboard Consulting helps Port Authority and Transportation companies manage the entire asset lifecycle and draw on sensor data to conduct preventative maintenance, creating a seamless transportation experience by avoiding costly downtime that would lead to travel and delivery delays.
