IBM

Maximo on WebSphere with MQ messaging under the enterprise asset and work management estate, and Tivoli as one of the systems the cost model drew its counts from.

Product lines and other names: Maximo, WebSphere, WebSphere MQ, Tivoli

Left to right is time. Each row is one of the 4 disciplines IBM carried, ordered so kindred disciplines sit next to each other rather than alphabetically — a landscape only means anything if neighboring rows belong together. Height is the work running in that domain in that year, weighted by what failure would have cost — life-safety ×3, a statutory obligation ×2.2, the estate itself ×1.5, an evaluation ×1. Every project declares which of those it was, so each ridge traces to an entry you can open and disagree with. Only the work that named this manufacturer is counted, so this is the shape of what it carried rather than of the record around it. Height and color are on the record-wide scale rather than this page’s own, so a modest estate draws a modest landscape and any two of these pages can be read against each other.

Maximo as the asset and work management platform, running on WebSphere with WebSphere MQ carrying the messaging — several lines of business on it, plus the electric utility, the Sheriff’s Office and the public library as customers, and an interface synchronizing change orders with the citizen service request system.

An application server and a message queue under a work management product is a middleware estate whether anyone calls it that or not, and it is the reason a version upgrade moved the database and every dependency with it rather than being a product update.

Tivoli sits elsewhere in the record as one of the eight systems of record the cost model pulled asset counts from.

Where it appears

Declared on each entry rather than listed here, so this page cannot drift from the work it describes. What each entry named is quoted as it stands, with how much of that project rested on it and what stands behind the claim beside it. The first of those drives the height of the surface above.
