Infrastructure owners are being asked to plan further ahead, deliver more for less, and justify every decision, all while managing ageing assets, uncertain funding, and rising expectations.
From tighter regulatory oversight to the growing impact of climate and environmental risk, the variables are many, and the margin for error is narrowing.
AIM gives organisations the clarity to navigate this complexity, the tools to make smarter investment and maintenance decisions, and the confidence to act, knowing their strategies are robust, adaptable and evidence-based.
AIM is not just powerful. It’s fast, flexible, and proven in demanding environments. Incorporating the world’s leading optimisation engine, AIM supports near real-time decision-making at enterprise scale. It’s used by leading utilities, transport operators and local authorities to plan and deliver asset strategies that stand up to internal and external scrutiny
AIM is cloud-based, removing the need for local servers, database and software licensing, and complex IT setups. Using AIM, organisations like Cadent Gas have deployed new SaaS environments in a matter of days.
With multi-user access and built-in permission controls, AIM enables joint working between asset owners and consulting partners, supporting shared models, faster turnaround and consistent planning.
AIM’s fully configurable models and real-time scenario builder allow teams to respond to regulatory changes or shifting business priorities without rework or downtime.
All inputs, constraints and decisions are traceable. Custom value frameworks, interactive maps, and open model logic make AIM outputs easy to understand, audit and explain.
AIM has been used to model programmes covering 100,000+ km of gas mains, simulate 125,000 trunk-main flood points, and optimise entire road networks for local authorities.
Across all sectors, AIM helps teams model risk, prioritise spending, and build justifiable strategies that balance performance, cost and long-term value.
AIM turns complex business challenges into configurable optimisation models, testing billions of possibilities to find the right balance between cost, risk, and performance. It helps organisations move beyond spreadsheets and heuristics to data-driven strategies that are transparent, defensible and repeatable.
AIM provides interactive, configurable risk maps that visualise potential failures, service impacts and deterioration over time. Users can model asset degradation, costs and consequences, enabling more proactive investment, clearer trade-offs, and easier communication with stakeholders.
AIM transforms investment strategies into practical, costed programmes of work, whether you’re planning at asset, corridor or whole-network level. It enables teams to group interventions, apply delivery constraints, and phase works across time and geography. The result is executable, data-driven programmes that support budget alignment, regulatory review and on-the-ground delivery.
AIM gives teams the tools to explore, explain and defend their investment plans. From interactive GIS mapping to custom dashboards and scenario comparisons, it supports deep interrogation of the data and clear communication with stakeholders. Customisable reports can be created by the end user directly from AIM and integrated into corporate data and BI tools using the AIM Data API.
AIM helps organisations make investment decisions that deliver maximum value, not just in cost savings, but in long-term outcomes. By linking asset-level interventions to financial, environmental and service-based benefits, AIM enables teams to build tailored value frameworks that reflect real-world trade-offs. Value frameworks and results are transparent and traceable, helping ensure alignment with business goals, regulators, and delivery partners
