4/9/25, 1:38 PM DEME Group Selects Cohesive for IBM Maximo Application Suite Upgrade - Middle East News 247

The appointment marks the next step in Cohesive’s partnership with DEME. Since 2016, DEME has relied on
Cohesive’s 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’s disconnected Maximo
environments are synchronized with their central instance, allowing for seamless operations across the entire
enterprise.

Pierre De Wet, Vice President, Cohesive, said: “This upgrade will not only improve system performance
but also streamline operations and reduce costs.”

The project reflects DEME’s commitment to embracing digital solutions and expertise that help drive
operational excellence and ensure sustainable and resilient assets.

Asset-intensive organizations around the globe are selecting Cohesive to help them move to MAS ahead of

IBM’s 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 organizations across
industries, including Energy, Utilities, Transportation, Mining, and Manufacturing.

Cohesive was named as a ‘leader’ 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 ‘Green Quadrant’ (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 ‘people
and change’ aspects of digital transformation.
