Maximo Essentials V7.1 - Implementer’s Guide

transaction processing capabilities have to be at their best at all times. The DBA 
shall perform the following activities:

��

Trouble shoot database creation

��

Database installation if other than DB2

��

Database optimization

��

Facilitate Database level integrations with enterprise systems

Depending on choice of application server, WebSphere or WebLogic, part time 
involvement of application server specialist or administrator may be required. 
This becomes more important if the implementation is complex with many 
integrations and in a clustered environment.

This is an optional group of people and the size and skill of the integration team 
may vary from customer to customer. Some special systems such as SAP, 
Oracle and other niche products may require technical experts. Depending on 
the project the main task will be to facilitate integration with external systems and 
ensure bidirectional movement of data

The above list of various roles is not a permanent fixture for each project. There 
can be more roles that are required and more than one person in a role. As 
mentioned before each project is different and it is hard to generalize, however, 
we have tried to cover most scenarios that we have encountered in our 
implementation experiences.

This section will talk about a high level solution architecture and the standard 
assumptions that are taken while project planning. 

The following figure represents the Maximo Asset Management Essentials 
solution architecture.
