About Max Content Solutions

The only marketing partner who's actually
lived inside the Maximo ecosystem.

Most marketing agencies learn about your industry from a briefing document. I learned about the Maximo ecosystem by spending 30 years inside it — at Projetech, one of the longest-running IBM Maximo Managed Service Providers in North America.

That's not a marketing claim. It's the reason everything I produce for Maximo solution providers sounds like it was written by someone who actually knows the buyer's world — because it was.

The background

30 years in the ecosystem. Now helping others market their way out of it.

I spent three decades at Projetech working inside the Maximo ecosystem — long enough to understand how asset-intensive organizations evaluate and select solution providers, what makes a Maximo partner stand out, and why most EAM marketing fails to move the needle.

When I founded Max Content Solutions, I had one straightforward observation: Maximo solution providers have genuinely deep expertise, but almost none of them know how to communicate it in a way that earns a buyer's trust. They sound like every other vendor — same claims, same buzzwords, same content that experienced asset managers scroll past without a second glance.

My job is to change that. I translate 30 years of insider knowledge into content that sounds like it was written by someone who has actually sat in the buyer's seat — because I have.

Max Content Solutions is deliberately boutique. You work directly with me, not a junior writer or an account manager. Every piece of content I produce carries the same standard I'd apply to work published under my own name.

Credentials

What makes this different from hiring a marketing agency.

Any agency can learn the jargon. What they can't replicate is 30 years of firsthand experience in the ecosystem your buyers live in.

🏆

IBM Champion — Maximo & EAM

IBM's recognition for outstanding contribution to the Maximo and EAM community. Not self-proclaimed — awarded by IBM based on demonstrated expertise and community impact.

🏢

30 Years at Projetech

Three decades inside one of North America's longest-running IBM Maximo Managed Service Providers — building the ecosystem knowledge that now informs every piece of content I produce.

🔍

Founder, MaxSelect™

The only independent, provider-neutral Maximo selection advisory built on firsthand ecosystem experience. Created because I'd seen too many organizations choose the wrong provider for the wrong reasons.

Published Weekly

The Maximo Minute newsletter goes to subscribers across the Maximo and EAM community every week — the same quality and depth I bring to every client engagement.

🎯

Complete discretion

What I learn about your firm, your clients, your strategy, and your market stays confidential. The Maximo partner community is a small world — your competitive positioning is treated as proprietary at every stage of our engagement.

🤝

Boutique practice

You work directly with me on every engagement. No handoffs to junior writers, no account managers between us. The expertise you're hiring is the expertise doing the work.

How I work

Four principles that guide every engagement.

These aren't values statements. They're the specific ways I approach the work that make it different from what a generalist agency would produce.

01

Specificity over volume

One piece of content that names the right buyer's pain point — a MAS migration concern, a deferred maintenance backlog, a difficult provider transition — outperforms ten generic articles about "digital transformation." Every deliverable is built around a specific buyer and a specific problem.

02

Your voice, not mine

The content I produce is designed to sound like you — your perspective, your expertise, your firm's positioning. Most clients ask that I don't publicize our relationship. I'm fine with that. The measure of success is whether your buyers think the content is yours, because it should be.

03

Ecosystem fluency first

I don't adapt generic content marketing frameworks to the Maximo space. I build from the ecosystem out — starting with how Maximo buyers actually evaluate providers, what concerns drive their decisions, and what kind of content earns their trust versus what gets scrolled past.

04

Discretion as a feature

The Maximo partner community is small. Competitive positioning matters. I maintain strict confidentiality on every engagement and treat your market positioning as proprietary — because it is.

What we stand for

Built on the principles that matter in a small, trust-driven industry.

The Maximo ecosystem is a small world. Reputation is everything. These are the values that guide every decision I make.

🔒

Integrity

Honesty and transparency in every client relationship. If something isn't working, I'll say so. If there's a conflict of interest, I'll disclose it immediately. Trust is earned by being straight, not by being agreeable.

🎯

Specificity

Vague content doesn't build trust in technical industries. Every piece of content I produce is specific to the Maximo ecosystem, specific to your buyers, and specific to the problems they're actually trying to solve.

📈

Results over activity

The goal isn't content output — it's content that earns buyer trust, builds your firm's authority, and supports real pipeline. Activity metrics are only meaningful if they connect to business outcomes.

🤫

Discretion

Your competitive positioning is yours. What I learn about your firm, your clients, your strategy, and your market stays confidential — not because of an NDA, but because that's how a trusted partner operates.

🔬

Depth over breadth

Max Content Solutions serves a specific niche and serves it well. I don't try to be a full-service marketing agency. I do one thing — Maximo and EAM content — and I do it better than anyone else in the market.

📰

Practitioner perspective

Everything I produce is informed by 30 years of firsthand ecosystem experience — not research, not observation, not client briefings. The perspective I bring to your content is the perspective of someone who has lived in this industry.

Why you won't see client logos here

"Most of our clients ask us not to take credit for the content we create — because the content is good enough that they want it seen as entirely their own thinking. Our job isn't to get noticed. It's to make you the authority in the room. If you'd like to speak with a current client before moving forward, reach out. We'll arrange it privately."

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Most of our clients prefer that their relationship with us stays confidential — because the content we produce for them is designed to reflect their expertise, not ours. When a Maximo solution provider publishes a thought leadership article or LinkedIn campaign, their buyers should see their voice, not a marketing vendor's fingerprints. That's by design. We work quietly, protect your competitive positioning, and let your content do the talking. If you'd like to speak with a current client before moving forward, reach out directly — we handle those conversations privately.
I'm a solo practitioner. Max Content Solutions is deliberately boutique — you work directly with me on every engagement. I use "we" in some contexts to reflect the professional nature of the service, but there's no team between you and the person doing the work. That's intentional. The expertise you're hiring is the expertise producing your content, every time.
That concern is one I take seriously. The Maximo partner community is a small world and your competitive positioning matters. I maintain strict confidentiality on every engagement — what I learn about your firm, your strategy, and your market stays private. If you have specific concerns about potential overlap, reach out directly and we'll have that conversation honestly before you commit to anything.
You can — and I use AI as part of my workflow to work faster. But AI generates words. I generate credibility. Maximo buyers are experienced, skeptical, and short on time. They can spot generic content instantly — and it damages trust rather than building it. My value is embedding your firm's specific expertise into content that earns the belief that you actually understand their world. That judgment, that Maximo-specific context, and that editorial standard can't be replicated by a prompt alone.
My core expertise is Maximo and EAM — that's where I do my best work and where 30 years of ecosystem experience is most valuable. I also support technical service providers and event organizers in adjacent industries. But if you're a Maximo or EAM solution provider, you're exactly who this practice was built for.
