Infowater Pro?

nkg2 — Tue, 19 Apr 2022 13:51:31 GMT

I was made aware that Autodesk bought Infowater and was curious to know if anyone has heard if it will become part of the AEC collection or will be a standalone purchase. I have seen other companies switch to Infowater before this announcement but I have always used WaterGEMS but may make the switch if it is going to be all inclusive to Autodesk.

Nothing has been announced regarding inclusion of Innovyze software in AEC Collection.

BTW, InfoWater Pro would not be included, anyway. It does not run inside an Autodesk interface, but works inside ArcGIS Pro.

Thanks Sir! Usually Autodesk tries to incorporate acquisitions into their programs for the most part. I kind of see the Innovyze acquisition part of the overall inclusion into the products much like the acquisition of Boss for the sanitary and storm part. As for the Infowater Pro part, I see that part being an acknowledgement that Map3d is not where Autodesk really thought it would be at compared to ArcGIS and its inclusion into everything and this acquisition would open Map3d to be more inclusive of ArcGIS (probably wishful thinking). For $1 Billion I would think that Autodesk would quickly try to push it out to start making/recouping money.
