organization is structured
Role Based Training: This training is specific to certain groups. Support
Purchase Administrator, Supervisor and so on, on how they can

Administrative Training: Once the implementation team walks out, there
has to be an internal designated person to manage the system. This
person will be responsible for system availability, creation of new
reports, enhancements, adding users, roles security groups and so on.

Key Roles: Project Manager, Maximo Developers
Optional Roles: Business Analyst, Solution Architect
Key Activities:

implementation team to provide continued system support. The basic tasks the
support team has to perform are, but are not limited to:
Manage system availability
Make enhancements to accommodate evolving business processes
