Book description

This IBM® Redbooks® publication is a study guide for IBM Maximo® Asset Management V7.1 and is aimed at individuals who want to get an IBM Professional Certification for this product.

The IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.1 certification exam, offered through the Professional Certification Program from IBM, is designed to validate the skills required of technical professionals who work in the implementation and configuration of the IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.1 product.

This publication does not replace practical experience, and is not designed to be a stand-alone guide for any subject. Instead, it is an effective tool that, when combined with educational activities and experience, can be an extremely useful preparation guide for the exam.

For your convenience, we structure the chapters based on the sections of the Test 000-015: IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.1 Implementation, such as Assets, Inventory, and so on, so studying each chapter will help you prepare for one section of the exam.

Note that Test 000-017: Foundations of Tivoli Process Automation Engine is a prerequisite for the IBM Certified Deployment Professional - Maximo Asset Management V7.1 certification. To prepare for that test, refer to the IBM Redbooks publication Certification Study Guide Series: Foundations of Tivoli Process Automation Engine, SG24-7763.
