What AVEVA does
AVEVA is a Cambridge, UK-headquartered industrial software company founded in 1967, operating as a member of the Schneider Electric group since the January 2023 acquisition that created the world's largest industrial software company. The company provides engineering, operations, and data management software to asset-intensive industries including oil and gas, chemicals, mining and metals, power and utilities, manufacturing, marine, infrastructure, and EPC firms, serving enterprise customers such as Rio Tinto, bp, Covestro, Procter & Gamble, Hindustan Zinc, and EDF Energy across more than 20 countries.
The company's core technology platform is the CONNECT industrial intelligence platform, an open, cloud-based hub that bridges operational technology (OT), information technology (IT), and AI across the asset lifecycle. CONNECT integrates with the AVEVA PI System, the world's most widely deployed operations data infrastructure, and is supported by an engineering portfolio (E3D Design, Process Simulation, Asset Information Management, Unified Engineering) and an operations portfolio (System Platform, MES, Enterprise and Plant SCADA, Predictive Analytics, Production Management). Recent AI enhancements embed generative design, predictive design, and agentic AI directly into engineering and operations workflows, and a proprietary Asset Library containing over 1,500 failure modes, 2,000 preventive tasks, and 5,000 prescriptive tasks underpins predictive capabilities. The company employs approximately 6,500 people globally, including 1,025 engineers in India representing 43% of R&D capacity, supported by an ecosystem of roughly 5,500 partners and 5,700 certified developers.
AVEVA monetizes through a mix of perpetual software licenses, subscription-based revenue via the Flex Subscription Program (credit-based consumption on CONNECT), and professional services, with quote-based enterprise pricing. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, a multi-tier channel partner ecosystem (Alliance Partners, System Integrators, Managed Solution Providers, Solution Providers), and cloud distribution through AWS Marketplace. The company is currently transitioning from perpetual licensing to subscription recurring revenue under new CEO Caspar Herzberg, with strategic priorities including geographic expansion in India and Africa, AI factory digital twin partnerships with NVIDIA, and major integrations with AWS, Snowflake, Microsoft, and IFS.
