# [IBM Champion 2022 Spotlight – Paul Irving](https://www.bpdzenith.com/the-bpd-blog/ibm-champion-2022-spotlight-paul-irving)

## Tell me a bit about yourself? What do you do at BPD etc.

*I have worked at BPD for 10 years, starting in the Support Team and moving into Project Delivery and Consultancy before forming the Product Development Team in 2016. I now manage a small team who work on productizing BPDs Industry Solutions and looking after the MaxiCloud and LoveYourAsset offerings as well as work with Partners and IBM on integrating products into MaxiCloud.*

 

## Share a time where you supported and nurtured or shared your knowledge and expertise with the Maximo Community?

*As part of the role within Product Development, it is often the case that I am learning new technologies. A few years ago I worked on bringing IoT device messages into Maximo and learned how to do this in a batch process, I wrote about this on the Maximo Community Site to help another community member having the same issue. Later, when coming to implement this for a client, I searched the community and found that the answer I was looking for was for was provided by me (and it worked a treat!).*

## What does being an IBM Champion 2022 mean to you?

*To me, being an IBM Champion is recognition from a company I have worked closely with for many years. It’s an honour to be part of a community of individuals that are experts in their field and are happy to help others along the way.*
