Affinity Water | Utilities | 1407 | $394M | United Kingdom | IBM | IBM Maximo | Enterprise Asset Management | 2021 |
In 2016, Affinity Water implemented IBM Maximo as its Enterprise Asset Management solution to consolidate works management across several functional departments and provide a single source of accurate data and strategic alignment. The IBM Maximo deployment focused on works management and asset lifecycle operations, consolidating work order management, maintenance planning, and an authoritative asset register to standardize operational data for downstream reporting.
Business analysis and configuration work captured functional and reporting requirements for critical functions across the business, with close collaboration between Business Analysts, the Data Team, and solution architects. The programme leveraged requirement elicitation techniques to identify process gaps and redesign business workflows to align with IBM Maximo functionality, while also leading a Robotics Process Automation programme aimed at automating frequent repetitive tasks to improve output and accuracy.
Integrations and operational coverage included assessment of interfaces with the national Central Market Operating System CMOS to ensure regulatory readiness, and capture of data and reporting needs that spanned multiple business SMEs and departments. Parallel initiatives included a £1.5m Customer Journey Improvements programme to enhance self-service and automate backend processes, and a Payroll project that introduced a cloud and mobile expense solution with automated workflows and HMRC tax compliance features.
Governance and rollout practices were formalized through managed system integration testing and user acceptance testing, change management support, and creation of business cases with senior IT leadership; eleven infrastructure initiatives were scoped with seven projects approved totalling £2.1m. The programme established a standard for business process modelling and adopted Agile Scrum, DSDM and Kanban ways of working, capturing requirements in Waterfall and Agile formats, producing wireframes and user stories, maintaining a Jira backlog, and supporting UAT and user guide creation to drive adoption.

British Antarctic Survey | Professional Services | 500 | $100M | United Kingdom | IBM | IBM Maximo | Enterprise Asset Management | 2021 |
In 2021, British Antarctic Survey implemented IBM Maximo as its Enterprise Asset Management platform to digitize cargo management across its Sir David Attenborough research vessel, its Cambridge headquarters, and Antarctic research stations. The deployment was led in partnership with Cohesive Solutions and targeted cargo handling and supply chain logistics within the broader asset management estate.
Cohesive Solutions built several tailored applications inside IBM Maximo to cover each stage of BASs bespoke resupply and cargo processes. Functional capabilities implemented include handling bills of lading within Maximo, item monitoring and management, allocation of goods into containers, and structured cargo record creation workflows that replaced multiple manual spreadsheets.
Operational coverage explicitly spans onboard the Sir David Attenborough vessel, BASs Cambridge HQ, and remote research stations in Antarctica, enabling centralized tracking of millions of pounds worth of goods through the IBM Maximo system. The implementation removed reliance on an Excel based cargo process and established a single system of record within the Enterprise Asset Management platform to support logistics and asset handling activities.
Governance and process changes focused on making logistics workflows more intuitive and transparent, improving data accuracy across resupply operations, and embedding responsibility within Maximo Enterprise and Supply Chain Logistics teams. Project delivery referenced staged application builds aligned to BASs bespoke resupply stages and ongoing support and integration services provided by Cohesive Solutions.
The Maximo cargo solution was recognized with an IBM TechXchange award for excellence in operational efficiency, with reported outcomes including a halving of cycle time for cargo record creation and the consolidation of seven spreadsheets into the Maximo cargo system. IBM Maximo now serves as the central Enterprise Asset Management application for BASs cargo and logistics operations.

DP World Southampton | Transportation | 700 | $450M | United Kingdom | IBM | IBM Maximo | Enterprise Asset Management | 2021 |
In 2021, DP World Southampton implemented IBM Maximo, deploying IBM Maximo as its Enterprise Asset Management platform across the port’s container terminal operations. The implementation targeted a 200 acre terminal with four deepwater berths, one shortsea berth, 14 ship to shore gantry cranes, one mobile harbor crane, more than 100 straddle carriers and two large workshops, addressing the need to manage thousands of assets while supporting ISO 9001:2000 quality and health and safety compliance.
Cohesive Solutions was recommended by IBM and Cohesive Solutions configured and deployed IBM Maximo to manage maintenance and associated processes. Configuration centered on core EAM capabilities including asset hierarchy and configuration for everything from super post Panamax gantry cranes to spare parts, preventive maintenance scheduling, and work order management to support engineering planning and quality workflows.
Operational integration emphasized stores and inventory controls, with spare parts barcoded and scanned directly into IBM Maximo to provide real time parts visibility and reorder triggers. The deployment covered maintenance operations in the two workshops and field maintenance for berth vehicles and cranes, aligning stores, work order issuance, and maintenance execution within the IBM Maximo Enterprise Asset Management instance.
Governance and process focus included intelligent workload management and standardized maintenance procedures to ensure equipment servicing met ISO 9001:2000 and statutory safety obligations. A tangible outcome of the rollout is that spare parts in stores are barcoded and scanned into IBM Maximo, enabling DP World Southampton to see when supplies are running low and need to be reordered.
