Similix

What Similix does

Similix is a Danish IT company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Søborg, Denmark (Copenhagen area). The company provides software products and consultancy services to the global utility sector, focusing on asset information management, GIS-based network modeling, and system integration for electricity, gas, water, wastewater, district heating, and fiber infrastructure operators. As an Esri Gold Partner, Similix builds its solutions on the ArcGIS platform alongside OSIsoft and Microsoft technologies, serving enterprise utility customers across Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

The company's product portfolio comprises four core offerings: Similix CIM Adaptor, which integrates ArcGIS Utility Network with operational systems (ADMS, OMS, EMS) using IEC 61970 and 61968 CIM standards and includes a no-code CIM Designer GUI; Similix OneClick Migration, a licensed no-code tool for migrating legacy GIS data to ArcGIS Utility Network based on 8+ years of migration experience; Similix ProGrid, a modular application framework extending ArcGIS with REST APIs for utility workflows; and Similix Integration Services, a professional services offering for system integration and master data management.

Similix generates revenue through a combination of one-time software licenses (notably for OneClick Migration) and professional services/consultancy engagements, sold via direct enterprise field sales on a quote-based pricing model. Its customer base includes Veitur (Iceland), Andel (Denmark), Lyse Lnett (Norway), HK Electric (Hong Kong), ESO (Lithuania), and Energy Queensland (Australia) — six named reference accounts across five countries, with engagements ranging from multi-utility data unification to statewide grid modernization covering 2.6 million households. The company is privately held, founder-led by CEO Jesper Christensen, and operates with 11-50 employees.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• AVEVA (OSIsoft): Industrial data platform (including the former OSIsoft PI System) that is one of Similix's named technology partners. Ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor; OSIsoft assets inform Similix's real-time data integration story for utilities.

Broad incumbents

• Esri: Dominant GIS platform provider and Similix's core technology partner. Functions as a broad incumbent that could expand native capabilities into Similix's migration and CIM integration niches, having already acquired comparable partners.
• Bentley Systems: Infrastructure engineering software provider with utility-relevant digital twin and asset management capabilities. Competes as a broader infrastructure platform incumbent against Similix's focused ArcGIS Utility Network stack.
• Hexagon (Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial): Provides geospatial and infrastructure asset management solutions used by utilities and communications providers. Broad incumbent offering overlapping capability with Similix's GIS-based asset management and network modeling.
• Hitachi Energy (formerly ABB Power Grids): Global supplier of utility network management, ADMS, and grid optimization solutions. Overlaps with Similix at the GIS-to-operational-system integration boundary for transmission and distribution utilities.
• Schneider Electric (EcoStruxure ADMS/OMS): Global utility systems incumbent offering EcoStruxure ADMS/OMS that Similix's CIM Adaptor integrates with. Represents both a critical integration partner and the type of large incumbent that could expand into Similix's migration/integration niche.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Major provider of grid management and ADMS solutions for electric utilities worldwide. Competes indirectly as a broad incumbent in the utility network management software space where Similix operates.

Direct peers

• 3-GIS: Esri partner providing web-enabled GIS solutions for fiber, telecom, and utility network management. Direct overlap with Similix in ArcGIS-based utility network tooling; now part of Esri, intensifying both partnership and competitive dynamics.
• SSP Innovations: Specialist in utility GIS software and consulting on the Esri platform, including Utility Network migration services. Closest direct comparable to Similix in terms of ArcGIS Utility Network focus and migration/integration services; also acquired by Esri.
• Trimble (Cityworks): GIS-centric asset management platform widely used by utilities and municipalities. Competes in the same ArcGIS-enabled utility asset management workflows that Similix addresses with ProGrid and OneClick Migration.
