The three layers above can be complicated depending on a customer’s
requirements and network set-up. All or some of the Modules of Maximo Asset

Some standard assumptions while project planning are:
The software is procured prior to project initiation
There are three environments - Development, Testing and Production
The application server, database server and reporting engine are all kept in
separate physical servers
Customer shall own any configurations required in the enterprise systems to
facilitate integrations
Customer’s involvement during the initial project stages is pretty high because
a lot of the functional and business process knowledge specific to the
customer needs to transferred to the implementation team
