| DEME Group Selects Cohesive for IBM Maximo Application Suite UpgradeĀ Dubai, April 8, 2025āCohesive, part of Bentley Systems, has been appointed by DEME, a leading contractor in the fields of offshore energy, environmental remediation, dredging, and marine infrastructure, to support a key technology project designed to enhance management of its 100-strong fleet of specialist vessels. |
| The team of enterprise asset management specialists at Cohesive will work with DEME to implement IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) and de-customize its existing Maximo 7.6.1.3 system. |
| MAS is a single, integrated, asset management platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), and analytics to optimize performance and reduce operational downtime across the asset lifecycle. |
| The appointment marks the next step in Cohesiveās partnership with DEME. Since 2016, DEME has relied on Cohesiveās Data Replication (CDR) software to synchronise data across its various Maximo instances deployed on dispersed vessels. The CDR helps to ensure that each of DEMEās disconnected Maximo environments are synchronized with their central instance, allowing for seamless operations across the entire enterprise. |
| Pierre De Wet, Vice President, Cohesive, said: āThis upgrade will not only improve system performance but also streamline operations and reduce costs.ā |
| The project reflects DEMEās commitment to embracing digital solutions and expertise that help drive operational excellence and ensure sustainable and resilient assets. |
| Asset-intensive organizations around the globe are selecting Cohesive to help them move to MAS ahead of IBMās removal of support for Maximo 7.6.1 in September 2025. |
| Cohesive is a certified IBM Platinum Business Partner. It has delivered more than 700 transformational enterprise asset management (EAM) programmes to large, complex industrial organizations across industries, including Energy, Utilities, Transportation, Mining, and Manufacturing. |
