To meet the need for advanced spatial analytics and better data integration in asset management software, Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, announced an expanded collaboration with IBM at the 44th annual Esri User Conference . ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes, integrated with the IBM Maximo application suite, is now available as an add-on, enabling users to more effectively visualize, analyze, and manage spatial data for indoor and field operations.
The integrated ArcGIS Enterprise and IBM Maximo application suite products are designed to enable customers to gain a more complete understanding of asset location, condition and performance, and use enhanced maintenance scheduling and resource allocation capabilities.
“Our collaboration with IBM has always been driven by a shared commitment to innovation and customer success,” said Richard Cooke, director of global business development at Esri. “By expanding our integration, we will provide customers with even more powerful tools to harness the power of spatial data to make more informed decisions.”

ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes enhances users’ ability to perform spatial analysis, assess proximity, and develop asset expansion strategies. Improved capabilities also include the ability to create detailed maps, reports, and dashboards that combine spatial data with other key operational information. By combining these software tools, users can automate asset inspections and optimize performance to streamline maintenance processes, supporting efforts to improve operational efficiency and advance sustainable development goals. The collaboration aims to optimize operations and provide IBM’s diverse client base with deeper insights to make informed decisions, covering industries such as energy, utilities, manufacturing, natural resources, government, entertainment, and transportation.
“We are excited to expand our collaboration with Esri and create greater value for our clients through integrated solutions designed to improve productivity and optimize operations,” said Kendra DeKeyrel, vice president of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Asset Management at IBM. “By combining Esri’s powerful geospatial technology with IBM’s Maximo software, we will continue to support organizations in driving operational excellence and innovation.”
This latest integration simplifies the deployment and functionality of Maximo and ArcGIS, helping to ensure IBM clients have a smooth experience during deployment and management. And, by leveraging the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform deployed for the Maximo application suite, users will benefit from data flows from the same platform.
In addition, the two products are commercially available as an integrated solution. Through the IBM Maximo add-on, mutual customers can purchase and manage Maximo and ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes together, with unified support channels.
