(Hexagon: Huntsville, AL) -- Hexagon, a global leader in enterprise software that helps customers design, build, operate, and protect critical industrial and infrastructure assets, announces the availability of EcoSys 9.4, the latest evolution of its industry-leading enterprise project performance solution. This update introduces Hexagon’s generative AI chat assistant, HxGN Alix, now embedded within EcoSys to transform how organizations plan and manage complex projects.

EcoSys 9.4 is a strategic advancement toward intelligent project ecosystems, letting users interact with project data through a conversational interface powered by HxGN Alix. As projects increase in complexity and scale, EcoSys’ new AI assistant helps companies meet rising demands by delivering a smarter, faster, and better-connected approach to project performance.

HxGN Alix represents the latest advancement in Hexagon’s AI solutions suite, designed to enhance project efficiency, safety, and resilience through real-time data insights and predictive analytics. Serving as an intelligent generative AI assistant, HxGN Alix offers personalized, reliable support that mirrors human expertise, helping to eliminate information silos. Later this year, HxGN Alix will expand across Hexagon’s Asset Life Cycle Intelligence portfolio, amplifying its impact across industries.

Key capabilities of HxGN Alix include:

Conversational data access: Users can query project data using plain language, eliminating the need for complex navigation or manual data extraction.

Actionable insights: Receive real-time recommendations tailored to project context.

Streamlined workflows: Automate routine tasks like reporting and data retrieval, freeing teams for higher-value work. Leverage tools-based AI behind the scenes to enable the model to interact intelligently with data and business workflows.

Governance: Alix can only access the same information as the assisted user. This ensures no customer data is shared with or used to train the AI model.

Next steps

Based on early adopter feedback, Alix will be enhanced to include abilities to guide users to relevant screens while also working to enhance the workflow capabilities.

Developed in collaboration with Hexagon’s global customer base, EcoSys 9.4 reflects the needs of project professionals who want intuitive, responsive tools that keep pace with modern delivery.

This release builds on EcoSys’ established project life cycle dataset for enterprise project performance, and enables clients to unlock their data through an AI-driven chat experience where users can get answers across various datasets, action workflow, and act as an aid for navigation and process.
