Andy Barnes, Chief Architect for Maximo Real Estate and Facilities, and Stephanie Neves from the State of Arizona Department of Transportation outline the roadmap for migrating from TRIRIGA to the Maximo Application Suite. The speakers explain the benefits of transitioning to this unified platform, which includes a simplified "AppPoints" licensing model, a cohesive user experience, and isolated process deployments utilizing Red Hat OpenShift. Neves details the practical challenges of upgrading a massive state portfolio of 1,400 buildings, emphasizing the necessity of an 18-month budget planning cycle, extensive data cleansing, and the challenge of explaining technical upgrades to legislative committees to secure funding. Furthermore, Barnes introduces a newly developed migration tool designed to transition users and licenses seamlessly into the suite's centralized Manage Foundation. The session provides best practices for navigating source-to-target version upgrades, utilizing single-step upgrade tools, and establishing a predictable transition to modern facility management software.
