Autodesk has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MaintainX, a maintenance and asset operations software company, in a transaction valued at approximately $3.6 billion. The acquisition marks a significant expansion of Autodesk’s connected operations strategy as industries increasingly adopt AI-enabled asset management and real-time operational intelligence platforms. The transaction will be financed through a combination of available cash reserves and debt financing. Autodesk expects the acquisition to be completed later during the current fiscal year, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
MaintainX has built a strong presence in the industrial operations technology space through its mobile-first maintenance and workflow management platform. The software enables companies to manage equipment, streamline frontline operations, coordinate maintenance teams and capture real-time operational insights from field environments. The company is projected to generate more than $135 million in annualized recurring revenue during 2026, reflecting growing demand for digital maintenance and operational efficiency tools across global industries.
Autodesk said the acquisition supports its long-term objective of connecting digital design environments with physical operations and lifecycle management systems. The company plans to integrate MaintainX’s operational capabilities with Autodesk’s expanding portfolio of industrial and asset management solutions.
Andrew Anagnost, Chief Executive Officer of Autodesk, said the acquisition will strengthen the company’s ability to combine operational workflows, asset intelligence and AI-driven automation. “Our goal with MaintainX is to bring deep operational expertise, contextual data and workflows that enhance our ability to use AI to converge digital and physical worlds,” he said.
The acquisition is closely aligned with Autodesk Operations Solutions (AOS), the company’s recently launched integrated operations platform. AOS brings together solutions including Tandem, FlexSim, Fusion Operations and Factory Design Utilities under a unified framework designed to help organizations manage assets more effectively across their entire lifecycle — from design and construction to operations and maintenance. Industry observers believe the transaction reflects the growing importance of digital twins, predictive maintenance, automation and industrial AI technologies in manufacturing, infrastructure and enterprise operations.
Alongside the acquisition announcement, Autodesk also upgraded its fiscal 2027 financial guidance. The company now expects annual revenue between $8.16 billion and $8.22 billion, while adjusted earnings per share are projected between $12.40 and $12.65, both exceeding earlier forecasts. Autodesk additionally reported strong first-quarter results, posting revenue of $1.93 billion, surpassing market expectations.
Autodesk’s software platforms are widely used across industries including architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, media, entertainment and infrastructure development. The company’s Design and Make platform enables organizations to improve productivity, automate workflows and accelerate innovation using data-driven technologies and cloud-connected tools.
