We Understand Maximo's Database, Not Just Asset Management
Custom Maximo reporting starts with knowing which database you’re actually running on — Db2, Oracle, or SQL Server — because that decision changes everything about how a report gets built and delivered. Our team is 100% US-based, and before we write a single query, we ask the questions that actually matter: Is this report for maintenance technicians running it inside Maximo, or for executives who need it delivered automatically every Monday morning? Does it need to combine work order, asset, and labor data across thousands of records? Is downtime, MTBF, or backlog aging the real question behind the request?
Maximo’s native reporting engine is BIRT (Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools) — and we have a dedicated BIRT development practice alongside our Maximo work. Whether your custom report needs to live inside Maximo itself or run externally through SSRS or Power BI, we handle both.
Same-Day Responses, No Exceptions
We give same-day responses on every Maximo reporting request, so you always know
when your PM compliance report, backlog analysis, or executive dashboard will be
ready.
We Speak Maximo's Schema, Not Just SQL
Knowing general SQL is one thing. Knowing how WORKORDER, ASSET, LABOR, and
MATRECTRANS relate to each other inside Maximo — and how to pull MTBF, MTTR, and
inventory aging out of that structure — is another. That specific knowledge is what
separates a report that actually answers the question from one that just lists data.
Built for the Teams That Run on Maximo
Maximo is used by facilities managers, maintenance teams, utility companies,
manufacturers, and hospitals — and each of these groups asks for different reports.
Here’s what we build most often:
Asset Reliability & MTBF/MTTR
Failure trends, top-failed assets by cost and count, and mean-time calculations Maximo doesn't produce natively.
PM Compliance Reporting
Preventive maintenance compliance by facility, technician, and asset type — with overdue PM detail.
Work Order Backlog Aging
Open work orders stratified by age, location, and craft — the maintenance equivalent of an AR aging report.
MRO Inventory Aging
Storeroom inventory that hasn't moved in 90, 180, or 365 days — supporting obsolete-inventory decisions.
Executive KPI Dashboards
Power BI dashboards showing asset availability, maintenance cost per unit, and PM compliance on one screen — built for maintenance directors and plant managers, not just technicians inside Maximo.

We're So Easy to Work With
We specialize in report writing and database development and integration. We know how to extract information from every popular program out there. We’re also able to develop or integrate databases, with a mind to helping out clients reduce workloads at their workplaces.
For example, if you currently have staff members entering the same information in different databases, you’re wasting valuable time and money. When we create a database for you or perform software integration, your team members will only need to add information once!

All of our services are designed to lower your operating costs. When you use our company on an as-needed basis, you won't need to hire a full-time report developer to work at your place of business. Instead, you'll be able to get reports and related services when you need them and just pay as you go! It'll be way cheaper and you'll get reports which are custom and which are created by report developers who know everything about your particular software platform.

As you can see, there’s no downside to hiring our company. You’ll get your reports and other services that you want, such as database integration, and you’ll pay less than you would if you had the same tasks performed by a full-time staff member at your workplace.
As well, you’ll access expertise from our team, as well as great communication.
We know that report creation is an iterative process and this is why our team members go out of their way to build strong bonds with clients. They talk and share information with them regularly, in a streamlined and efficient way.

Common Questions
1. What database does our Maximo instance need to be on for custom reporting?
Maximo runs on IBM Db2, Oracle, or SQL Server depending on your deployment. SQL Server gives you the most reporting options (SSRS, Power BI connect directly); Db2 and Oracle typically use custom BIRT reports built inside Maximo. We work with all three.
2. Do we need IBM Professional Services to build custom Maximo reports?
No. Custom BIRT reports, SSRS reports, and Power BI dashboards connected to Maximo’s database don’t require IBM’s involvement — just Maximo database knowledge and the right reporting tool.
3. Can you calculate MTBF and MTTR from our Maximo data?
Yes. Maximo captures the underlying data but doesn’t calculate these natively. We build this as a custom BIRT or SSRS report using your WORKORDER and ASSET tables.
4.Do you build reports for MRO inventory aging?
Yes — showing what storeroom inventory hasn’t moved in 90, 180, or 365 days, to support obsolete inventory write-down and storeroom optimization decisions.
5.Can you build an executive dashboard for our maintenance KPIs?
Yes — Power BI dashboards showing PM compliance, asset availability, and maintenance cost per unit, connected directly to your Maximo database.
