Leveraging the Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE™) specification and the underlying J2EE framework components, the component-based architecture of Maximo software enables reuse within the application, as well as integration with external applications. This architecture leverages the latest Web standards available today. Maximo software can be deployed on a single machine for small to mid-sized companies, yet its scalability and performance can help meet the demands of global, distributed enterprises with multiple organizations and sites that operate using multiple languages and currencies.
