MAS Consumption Model
With Maximo Application Suite, IBM has introduced a streamlined licensing model called AppPoints. AppPoints offers a simplified approach to licensing and usage by utilizing a credit-based “pool” system. AppPoints serve as the currency for managing application usage, runtime, and user access.
Maximo Application Suite’s AppPoints licensing model offers enhanced flexibility compared to the legacy Maximo model of authorized, limited, and express users. With AppPoints, you gain entitlement to access the entire suite of MAS modules while only paying for the specific applications you utilize.
This unique approach allows you to optimize costs by paying solely for the functionalities you require. As a result, customers can benefit from significant discounts on AppPoints, and MAS customers may discover that AppPoints offer even lower costs compared to traditional Maximo licenses.
The Maximo Application Suite offers three distinct user types: Limited, Base, and Premium. Each user type has its own set of access privileges and consumes varying amounts of AppPoints.
Limited Users consume 5 AppPoints and enjoy access to 3 modules within Manage, Monitor, Mobile, and Assist functionalities.
Base Users consume 10 AppPoints and have access to Manage, along with additional features such as Health, Scheduler, and Safety.
Premium Users consume 15 AppPoints and have access to Manage Industry solutions and the Predict module.
