Executive Summary

This report provides a detailed fact-based comparison of the most prominent asset investment planning (AIP) software vendors in the market today. Based on the proprietary Verdantix Green Quadrant methodology, our analysis encompassed one-hour live product demonstrations with pre-set scenarios, and considered vendor responses to a 70-point questionnaire covering five technical, five functional and eight market momentum categories. We also conducted interviews with 15 corporate users of AIP software and reviewed the data from our global survey of 301 operational excellence decision-makers. Spend on AIP software is set to grow, with providers looking to differentiate by offering end-to-end asset lifecycle capabilities, enhancing ESG capabilities, leveraging machine learning (ML) analytics, developing lightweight applications, upgrading usability and improving connectivity with other asset management solutions. Among the software vendors featured in the Leaders’ Quadrant, four firms – Arcadis Gen, Brightly Software, Copperleaf and DIREXYON – demonstrated the most advanced all-round AIP software capabilities.
