What is Maximo Everyplace?
 Access to the same Maximo you use from desktop browsers,
but with expanded browser support
– Mobile Safari (for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch)
– Native browser on Android 2.1 and 2.2 devices
 Ability to configure screens for mobile devices running
supported browsers through special App Designer features
– Configuration happens on a desktop machine, not a mobile device

Designing Maximo Everyplace Applications
 Start with an existing application. Clone it. (Or, create a new
app from scratch.)
 Design for the right screen size by using the appropriate
viewport
 Make the screen elements touchscreen-friendly by switching to
the mobile skin
 Eliminate anything that’s not absolutely necessary: Strategic
deletion
 Grant access via security groups
 Have users configure their mobile Start Center

Does it work on a Blackberry?
 No
 Only adds support for the Mobile Safari and Android browser
 Maximo Everyplace will work on devices using browsers we
currently support like IE and Firefox, so devices like the
Panasonic Toughbook as well as many tablet PCs are
supported
 We intend to add support for more browsers and devices going
forward.
– Browsers using the webkit engine are the most likely targets as
they seem to handle Maximo best, so the Blackberry Torch is a
future target that we are evaluating now

What’s included and not included
 New Application Designer functionality to make designing for
different screen sizes easier
 A new look for Maximo applications that can be applied on a
per-application basis. It makes interacting with Maximo easier
on a touch screen
 No new apps are included. Rather, we’re delivering the toolkit
in the Application Designer to help customers make their own
applications easier to use across a range of devices.
– Two sample XMLs are shipped as models.
 All the functionality of Maximo 7.1.1.7 that is configurable via
the Application Designer is available for use in Maximo
Everyplace applications

Why Can’t I Use Regular Maximo on my iPad?
 You could, but:
 The iOS browser is not an officially supported Maximo
browser; that browser is supported for Maximo Everyplace,
along with all the browsers that Maximo supports plus Android
2.1 and higher.
 Maximo is not designed to be interacted with on a touch
screen. You may find some elements difficult to click accurately
with your finger. Maximo Everyplace is designed to be used on
a small touchscreen.

Use the new application on any device with a supported
browser
The Viewport size is
saved in the presentation
and helps you design
better apps in the
Application Designer, but
it doesn’t limit the user’s
ability to use the same
app on different devices.
