HD Spatial participates on the IBM Development Partners group for Maximo Spatial and Utilities. This group is a liaison between IBM product managers, developers, and select utility end users.  Meetings are held 3-4 times per year to discuss upcoming product functionality and consider new directions and capabilities for the product.

​

The group serves as a sounding board to discuss common Asset Management and GIS problems faced by utilities.  We then brainstorm ways Maximo Spatial could solve those issues.

​

HD Spatial has presented in this forum on the issue of modeling linear asset splits (water/gas mains, conductors, service lines, etc.) while maintaining accounting of asset work history.  We also frequently participate in the lively discussions on field experience and product capabilities.
