Patch Notes on Version Updates

This initiative proposes publishing detailed, structured patch notes for each Maximo release, organized by application and module. This would make it far easier for clients, partners, and the broader ecosystem to identify changes from version to version. For regulated industries, this visibility supports validation efforts by clearly documenting what has changed in each functional area. Organizations in highly regulated environments—such as pharmaceuticals, utilities, and transportation—gain the ability to validate and document compliance more efficiently. All clients benefit from clearer communication of new features, enhancements, and fixes, reducing upgrade friction and accelerating adoption.
