There’s a new engineering software company in the business: Hexagon PPM, is part of Hexagon, a leading global provider of information technology solutions that drive productivity and quality across geospatial and industrial landscapes. Hexagon PPM is focused on delivering end-to-end information technology solutions that drive efficiencies during the design, construction and operation of industrial facilities and large-scale construction projects.
Because of Intergraph’s first-in-class reputation, Hexagon PPM products will continue to carry the Intergraph brand name. “PPM” is retained as a nod to the key industries of process, power, and marine; however, Hexagon PPM will expand its base to serve industries beyond its traditional core.
Recent acquisitions, including project controls technology (EcoSys), fabrication automation technology (NESTIX Oy), and the recently launched HxGN SMART Build solution targeted at enterprise BIM construction execution for the AEC industry, are enabling Hexagon PPM to diversify its customer base.
“The company’s new president, Mattias Stenberg, assumed PPM’s helm in January, transitioning from Hexagon’s Chief Strategy Officer, a role he held since 2009. “The name change isn’t just a name change,” Stenberg said. “It represents a closer alignment with Hexagon that will open up new doors to truly leverage the depth and breadth of Hexagon’s innovations and technological capabilities. It’s an opportunity to overcome the slow pace of change that has characterized PPM’s primary industries over the past 20 years.”
