IBM Sustainability Software Portfolio Connectors

Connectors Overview

IBM TRIRIGA Application Suite (TAS) and IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) customers have access to a collection of predefined integrations between TAS, MAS, and IBM Envizi ESG Suite. Those integrations can be used in a variety of combinations to enable many usecases and they can each be configured for additional flexibility.

- Bi-directional loading, and continuous synchronization of portfolio data such as People, Locations and Assets.
- Bi-directional routing of service requests between TRIRIGA and Maximo
- Automatic shadowing of TRIRIGA Work Tasks with Maximo Work Orders to enable Facility teams to do planing, budgeting and project management in TRIRIGA while work tasks get reflected in Maximo as Work Orders for execution.

2. TAS Connector for Envizi automatically sync space and occupancy data from TRIRIGA with Envizi to enable energy usage calculations across entire facility portfolio with advanced analytics by location, by SQF, and by occupant.

3. MAS Connector for Envizi automatically synchronizes asset location and meter readings from MAS to Envizi to automate tracking of energy usage and calculating its related scope 1 and 2 emissions of Electricity, Natural Gas, and Water.

App Connect Flows enable specific integration use cases by connecting to predefined APIs to route and transform data. They can be applied in different combinations to support a variety of use cases, they handle the required data mapping, data validation and they can be modified to support customizations.
