    MapEngine is a J2EE web application with two primary parts: 1) an interactive map extension that can be embedded and integrated into any page within Maximo and 2) a map-based connection to other client systems (e.g. customer information/CRM systems, assessor data, billing, and more.)
  2. What GIS software is compatible with MapEngine? MapEngine always supports the latest version of Esri ArcGIS.
  3. Does MapEngine require Maximo Spatial to work?
    No, MapEngine is not required/used by Maximo Spatial. It’s a complete GIS integration for Maximo.
  4. Does MapEngine require Maximo Linear to work?
