Multisite and MultiOrganization Strategy in MAXIMO

A Multisite implementation of MAXIMO enables different company plants to share data from a single database. In this case, multiple sites access the same shared database, while operating under independent business rules. It allows different sites to share Purchase Agreements and Vendors, while keeping work orders and job plan data separate, within an organization. All the sites need to be defined within an organization. An organization is a major division of a company. By using multisite setup, you can organize your company's plants into organizations and sites.

For example, consider the case of Reliance Industries. They have Power generation companies, Refineries and Chemicals business, within reliance umbrella.  They can define all the power generation companies as one organization (POWER), all the chemical production plans as another organization (CHEMICAL) and refineries as third organization (REFINERY); thus having three organizations within a single shared MAXIMO database. Each organization can further be divided into multiple sites (For three chemical production plants, three different sites within CHEMICAL organization) to have the similar kind of business rules for chemical industry. Some business elements/rules reside at the database level, some at organization and some at site level.
