IBM Sustainability Software - Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against the products and services belonging to IBM Sustainability Software. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Simplify Maximo Predict out-of-the-box capabilities by providing a guided UI for configuring and running predictive models instead of requiring customers to run Jupyter Notebooks in Cloud Pak for Data.

One of the biggest challenges with Maximo Predict is that its out-of-the-box (OOB) predictive capabilities are heavily dependent on Jupyter Notebooks and Cloud Pak for Data (CP4D). To use features such as Anomaly Detection, Failure Probability, Remaining Useful Life (RUL), and End-of-Life Prediction, implementation teams must configure CP4D projects, upload datasets, manage credentials, and manually execute notebooks.

Many Maximo consultants, business partners, and customers do not have a data science background, making it difficult to consume, demonstrate, and implement these capabilities. As a result, customers who are interested in predictive maintenance often find it challenging to adopt Maximo Predict.

It would be beneficial if the standard OOB predictive capabilities were available through a guided UI in Maximo Predict. For example, the UI could allow users to:

  • Upload the required datasets.
  • Validate the uploaded data.
  • Select the required sensor attributes or input features.
  • Configure basic model parameters.
  • Run the prediction directly from the UI.
  • View prediction results and visualizations without manually executing notebooks.

The Jupyter notebooks and CP4D workflows can continue to remain as the backend execution engine for these standard capabilities.

For advanced or customer-specific use cases, where customers want to build new notebooks, develop custom ML models, or implement their own data science workflows, they can continue using Jupyter Notebooks and Cloud Pak for Data.

This approach would make Maximo Predict much easier to implement, reduce the dependency on data science expertise for standard OOB features, improve partner enablement, and significantly increase customer adoption while still preserving the flexibility for advanced customizations.

    Team, There is a repeated ask from partners to make this as an Open-AI Gateway instead of putting the dependency on CP4D. Customers wanted to make it little simple to use. Providing this feature will help for quick and easy UP-SELL opportunities with customers
