The acquisition positions Autodesk as a leading global provider of end-to-end digital solutions from design to operations of water infrastructure, accelerates Autodesk\u2019s digital twin strategy, and creates a clearer path to a more sustainable and digitized water industry. Autodesk and Innovyze\u2019s complementary technologies and long-list of shared customers offer significant value to the industry at large. Additionally, the acquisition will enhance Autodesk\u2019s growth potential by expanding Innovyze\u2019s global footprint and presence across the water infrastructure value chain from design through construction to operations and maintenance. <div id=\"attachment_6804\" style=\"width: 1180px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6804\" class=\"wp-image-6804 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/info360-insight-software.jpg\" alt=\"screenshot of smart water infrastructure technology by Innovyze\" width=\"1170\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/info360-insight-software.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/info360-insight-software-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/info360-insight-software-1024x481.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/info360-insight-software-700x329.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6804\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Built on the Innovyze Info360 platform, Info360 Insight unifies water utility data in the cloud, applying sophisticated analytics, modeling, and alerting tools to make operational information more accessible, reliable, and actionable<\/p><\/div> Innovyze\u2019s innovative software for the water industry is trusted by approximately 3,000 customers worldwide. Customers include public and private utility companies in many of the most populous cities across five continents. These include a majority of ENR\u2019s top design firms, and leading environmental and engineering consultancies. \u201cWe make investment decisions based on the potential value to Autodesk and to our customers, and increasingly, we give significant consideration to an investment\u2019s impact on sustainability, as we did with our <a href=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/pressrelease\/autodesk-completes-acquisition-of-spacemaker-provider-of-ai-and-generative-design-enabled-urban-design-platform\">Spacemaker acquisition<\/a> last year,\u201d said Andrew Anagnost, CEO and president of Autodesk. \u201cInnovyze is no different. Responsibly managing our use of water runs parallel to successfully sustaining life. This is a software acquisition, but also a clear statement of Autodesk\u2019s corporate commitment to improve our planet.\u201d Innovyze\u2019s modeling, simulation, asset performance management and operational analytics solutions enable more cost-effective water distribution and collection infrastructure, more sustainably designed drainage systems, and centralizes infrastructure asset visibility to optimize capital and operational expenses. Innovyze is also a global leader in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/solutions\/digital-twin\">digital twin<\/a> technology for water infrastructure and the acquisition accelerates Autodesk\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/solutions\/digital-twin\/architecture-engineering-construction\">digital twin strategy<\/a>, which includes the <a href=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/news\/tandem-public-beta\">recent launch of Autodesk Tandem<\/a>. Together, these capabilities allow civil engineers, water utility companies, plant operators and water experts the ability to better respond to issues before they become emergencies and to improve planning for the future. \u201cWater is life, and safely and sustainably managing water from cloud to ocean has been Innovyze\u2019s mission for more than thirty years,\u201d said Colby Manwaring, CEO of Innovyze. \u201cAutodesk and Innovyze\u2019s technologies could not be more complementary, which will accelerate our shared vision for improving our resilience to climate change and quality of life for all communities.\u201d For more information on the acquisition, please see the accompanying <a href=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Indra-IR-Deck_Final_220221.pdf\">PDF here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>About Autodesk<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Autodesk makes software for people who make things.
