Education
From universities and colleges to K–12 campuses, educational institutions are under increasing pressure to modernize infrastructure, improve sustainability, and ensure safe, functional environments for students and staff. At the same time, facilities managers must juggle aging buildings, limited budgets, and high expectations for service delivery.

The IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) offers a centralized, intelligent platform that helps educational institutions manage their facilities, assets, maintenance operations, and compliance — all while supporting long-term sustainability and digital transformation goals.
Maximo Application Suite
Many educational institutions are dealing with aging buildings, outdated HVAC systems, and deferred repairs due to budget constraints.
Asset Lifecycle Management
Tracks the condition and performance of buildings, systems, and equipment over time.
Capital Planning Support
Helps prioritize and justify major repairs or replacements based on condition scores and usage data.
Preventive Maintenance Planning
Automates routine maintenance to avoid costly emergency repairs and extend asset life.
Facilities teams are expected to do more with less, managing large campuses with limited staff and funding.
Workforce & Labor Optimization
Schedules tasks efficiently based on priority, technician availability, and skills.
Mobile Work Management
Allows staff to complete work orders on the go, reducing administrative overhead.
Performance Dashboards
Identifies inefficiencies and highlights cost-saving opportunities across operations.
Schools must meet health, safety, and accessibility standards — from fire safety to indoor air quality — and be prepared for audits at any time.
Inspection Management
Automates the scheduling and documentation of safety inspections, tests, and corrective actions.
Incident Management Tools
Supports rapid reporting and resolution of hazards, spills, or mechanical issues.
Compliance Tracking & Reporting
Maintains audit trails for health, safety, and environmental requirements.
Campuses often use disconnected tools for maintenance, procurement, space planning, and compliance, leading to inefficiencies.
Unified Platform
Consolidates asset, work, inventory, and compliance data into one system of record.
ERP & Campus System Integrations
Connects seamlessly with finance, HR, space planning, and building management systems.
Customizable Dashboards per Role
Offers facilities teams, compliance officers, and IT staff visibility into the metrics that matter most.
Institutions face pressure to reduce energy consumption and meet carbon reduction targets — often without real-time insight into usage.
Energy Monitoring Tools
Tracks HVAC, lighting, water usage, and energy consumption across buildings.
Sustainability KPIs
Helps monitor and report progress on ESG goals such as emissions reductions and waste management.
Smart Building Integration
Connects to building automation systems to optimize performance based on occupancy and usage.
Campuses often include a wide range of buildings — classrooms, labs, dorms, cafeterias, athletic facilities — all with unique needs.
Multi-Asset Type Management
Supports differentiated maintenance programs for labs, kitchens, gyms, etc.
Zoning & Location Hierarchies
Organizes campus assets and spaces into a structured, searchable hierarchy.
Work Planning by Facility Use
Prioritizes tasks based on occupancy schedules and sensitivity (e.g., science labs vs. storage closets).
Maintenance issues like broken equipment, temperature complaints, or unclean facilities negatively impact learning and satisfaction.
Self-Service Request Portals
Allows students, faculty, or custodial staff to report issues directly to facilities.
SLA Monitoring
Tracks response and resolution times to ensure high-quality service.
Feedback Loops
Gathers satisfaction data after service completion to improve performance.
Campuses must be ready to respond to fires, power failures, leaks, and weather-related events without delay.
Emergency Workflows
Pre-built response plans for critical events that dispatch resources and notify stakeholders.
Mobile Notifications
Keeps response teams connected during emergencies.
Critical Asset Tagging
Identifies high-priority systems (e.g., fire alarms, HVAC, campus generators) and flags them for more frequent checks.
