Cohesive, part of Bentley Systems, has been appointed by DEME, a leading contractor in the fields of offshore energy, environmental remediation, dredging, and marine infrastructure, to support a key technology project designed to enhance management of its 100-strong fleet of specialist vessels.
The team of enterprise asset management specialists at Cohesive will work with DEME to implement IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) and de-customise its existing Maximo 7.6.1.3 system.
MAS is a single, integrated, asset management platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), and analytics to optimise performance and reduce operational downtime across the asset lifecycle.
The appointment marks the next step in Cohesive鈥檚 partnership with DEME. Since 2016, DEME has relied on Cohesive鈥檚 Data Replication (CDR) software to synchronise data across its various Maximo instances deployed on dispersed vessels. The CDR helps to ensure that each of DEME鈥檚 disconnected Maximo environments are synchronised with their central instance, allowing for seamless operations across the entire enterprise.
Pierre De Wet, Vice President, Cohesive, said, 鈥淭his upgrade will not only improve system performance but also streamline operations and reduce costs.鈥�
The project reflects DEME鈥檚 commitment to embracing digital solutions and expertise that help drive operational excellence and ensure sustainable and resilient assets.
Asset-intensive organisations around the globe are selecting Cohesive to help them move to MAS ahead of IBM鈥檚 removal of support for Maximo 7.6.1 in September 2025.
Cohesive is a certified IBM Platinum Business Partner. It has delivered more than 700 transformational enterprise asset management (EAM) programmes to large, complex industrial organisations across industries, including Energy, Utilities, Transportation, Mining, and Manufacturing.
Cohesive was named as a 鈥榣eader鈥� in the Green Quadrant: Industrial Asset Management Technology Implementation Services 2024 report from Verdantix,?the independent advisory and research group. Verdantix gave Cohesive the top score in its 鈥楪reen Quadrant鈥� (2.5/3.0) for its EAM software implementation capabilities and the top score (a perfect 3.0/3.0) for its capabilities in managing the 鈥榩eople and change鈥� aspects of digital transformation.
