In this compelling RAP talk, Pierre Dewet dives into a fundamental challenge for Maximo users: finding the return on investment (ROI) for their significant MAS upgrades, or justifying the project in the first place. The session begins by reimagining the traditional P-F curve, shifting the "P" from "Potential" to "Predictive" failure – the goal being to anticipate issues long before they even become potential problems.

The speaker reveals two non-negotiable building blocks for achieving this level of prediction: trusted data (highlighting a surprising 60% trust deficit in asset data based on a recent survey) and a robust reliability strategy. Maximo Application Suite (MAS) is positioned as the key enabler, providing the necessary tools (Monitor, Health, Predict, Reliability Strategies component) to consolidate data and execute strategy.

The core principle discussed is "get smart before you get fast" – emphasizing that developing strategy and ensuring data quality are paramount to achieving true efficiency. The talk concludes with an invitation to leverage consulting partners, like Cohesive, to help build this foundational data trust and reliability strategy, ensuring organizations can finally unlock the full value of their Maximo investment.
