Innovyze

What Innovyze does

Innovyze builds hydraulic and hydrologic modeling and simulation software used by water utilities and engineering consultants to design, operate, and manage drinking water distribution, wastewater, stormwater, and drainage networks. Its core technology spans 1D/2D hydraulic solvers delivered through products such as InfoWorks ICM, InfoWater Pro, InfoWorks WS Pro, InfoDrainage, XPSWMM, and XPStorm, complemented by asset management (InfoAsset Suite) and digital twin offerings (ICMLive, IWLive Pro). The Info360 cloud suite extends the platform into operational analytics, while the AI & Operational Analytics line introduces data-driven decision support on top of the modeling core.

The software is sold primarily on a subscription basis to municipal water utilities and engineering services firms, with customers including Stantec, Jacobs, Wellington Water, Seattle Public Utilities, Bristol Water, Scottish Canals, and Ross Valley Sanitary District. Following its 2021 acquisition by Autodesk, the product line is distributed through Autodesk's global AEC channel, and legacy InfoCare maintenance contracts are being migrated to recurring subscriptions on the Autodesk platform. The business operates with a headcount in the 101-250 range and is headquartered in San Francisco, USA, now functioning as a water infrastructure product line within Autodesk rather than as an independent entity.

Core offering

Innovyze develops and sells a comprehensive suite of water infrastructure modeling, simulation, and asset management software for water utilities, engineering consulting firms, and municipal governments. Its products enable hydraulic and hydrologic modeling of water distribution, wastewater, stormwater, and drainage networks, along with cloud-based operational analytics, asset management, risk-based planning, and operational digital twin capabilities for water and wastewater systems. The software is sold via annual subscriptions through Autodesk's enterprise sales and online platform.

Product overview

Innovyze, acquired by Autodesk, provides a comprehensive water management software platform organized into four interconnected product suites: (1) AI & Operational Analytics including Info360 Insight, Info360 Plant, Info360 Asset, InfoAsset Manager, InfoAsset Planner, InfoAsset Mobile, and InfoAsset Online for real-time operational intelligence and asset management; (2) Drainage Design & Analytics featuring InfoDrainage for drainage system design and auditing; (3) Stormwater, Sewer, & Flood Modeling encompassing InfoWorks ICM, ICMLive, XPStorm, and XPSWMM for 1D/2D hydraulic and hydrologic modeling; and (4) Water Distribution, Modeling, & Management including InfoWorks WS Pro, InfoWater Pro, and IWLive Pro for water distribution analysis and digital twin solutions. The platform integrates with ArcGIS, SCADA historians, weather forecast databases, and supports GIS data import for end-to-end water network management.

Direct peers

• KISTERS: Provides water resources, hydrology, and asset-management software (including 3S and KISTERS water solutions) that overlaps with Innovyze's InfoAsset, InfoDrainage, and water distribution products for utilities and engineering firms.
• Bentley Systems: Direct competitor in water and hydraulic modeling software via the OpenFlows product family (WaterGEMS, SewerGEMS, HAMMER, FLOOD), targeting the same municipal utility and engineering consultant customer base as Innovyze's InfoWorks and InfoWater lines.
• Trimble Water: Offers water and wastewater utility field solutions and modeling/asset-management software via its Unity, Cityworks, and Telog platforms — competing with Innovyze's asset-management, mobile field, and GIS-integrated distribution tools.
• DHI (MIKE Powered by DHI): Direct peer offering MIKE+ and the broader MIKE suite for urban water modeling (collection systems, distribution networks, rivers, coast), competing head-to-head with InfoWorks ICM, XPSWMM, and InfoWater Pro in stormwater and water distribution.

Broad incumbents

• Itron: Smart water metering and utility analytics incumbent. Overlaps with Innovyze's distribution-network and operational analytics use cases (especially around AMI data, leak detection, and distribution monitoring) but is hardware-and-metering centric.
• Xylem: Large water-technology incumbent with a growing software portfolio (including Idrica and other digital water assets) that competes with Innovyze's operational analytics, digital twin, and SCADA-integrated offerings as a broader water-industry platform.
• Schneider Electric (Water / AVEVA): Provides industrial software and operations management (including through AVEVA) that extends into utility operations and digital twin capabilities — a broader incumbent offering overlapping functionality with Innovyze's Info360 operational intelligence layer.

Others

• Esri: GIS platform provider whose ArcGIS is deeply integrated with Innovyze products (InfoWater Pro, InfoAsset Planner). Not a direct competitor but a critical ecosystem dependency and potential adjacency through ArcGIS Utility Network.

Emerging players

• TaKaDu: Cloud-based water network analytics and leak detection SaaS that competes with parts of Info360 Insight and ICMLive/IWLive Pro for operational analytics and event detection, particularly for utilities seeking lighter, analytics-only deployments.
• Aquadvanced (Veolia): Smart-water SaaS (under Veolia) providing analytics, metering integration, and operational optimization for water utilities — partial overlap with Info360 Insight and IWLive Pro in operational performance and digital twin use cases.
