In general terms, how has the clients’ experience been with the tool?

At present Maximo has more than 10,000 clients worldwide. Without any doubt with a powerful number of users.

In fact, there have been companies in Latin America which have published profits of nearly 70 million dollars.
In short, the solution’s maintenance costs are very low in comparison to other similar solutions on the market.
