We're in process of upgrading to Maximo 7.5 to maintain support with IBM. As a result, we looked at moving our mobile users to Syclo Work Manager for Maximo 7.5. However, our old Windows CE devices just won't cut it when trying to display the new/updated user interface with Syclo for Maximo 7.5. The Syclo support person told us that some customers are using their 7.1 compatible Work Manager product with Maximo 7.5 successfully. I realize there are some configuration changes (updated class files, diff version of Java) that need to be taken into account but the question is....
Has anybody done this successfully? And if so, what challenges did you face? I would like to talk with someone about your experience over the phone if possible. Please email me at ahohnstein at gmail dot com.
I would suggest moving away from syclo totally. To save on costs and
better user experience. If you want to discuss let me know.
Regards
Uday

Uday,
Thanks. Yes, we fully intend to move to a different product. We were hoping to move to Maximo Anywhere before the end of the year but the upgrade didn't happen in time.
We have successfully configured the existing Syclo Work Manager for Maximo 7.1 to run against a Maximo 7.5 instance. Through testing, we've discovered that all business-supported functions execute without exception. Thankfully, this will allow us to focus our upgrade efforts elsewhere rather than on Syclo.
Also have a look at EZMaxMobile. Disclaimer, I work for InterPro Solutions.
