Dallas (May 17, 2022) — AECOM, the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, today announced the availability of Digital AECOM’s PlanEngageTM platform in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online market for buying and selling cloud solutions certified to run on Azure. PlanEngage is an innovative digital platform that streamlines the planning stakeholder engagement process by improving public participation and understanding of the planning process. Infrastructure owners can now access this interactive solution through the productive and trusted Azure cloud platform with streamlined deployment and management.

“We are excited with the release of our PlanEngage platform in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. As we continue to develop digital products to support the design and development of major infrastructure projects in the built environment, infrastructure owners across the globe can now access an innovative digital tool that was exclusively available to our clients only,” said Todd Battley, AECOM’s chief strategy officer. “We look forward to working closely with Microsoft to provide easy access to additional tools and solutions from the Digital AECOM product suite.”

The PlanEngage platform enables teams to create, edit, and publish highly visual and interactive communications for projects—including videos, 360-degree project progress images, visualizations, project dashboards, and more. Coupled with inbuilt feedback capture and reporting, the PlanEngage platform supports communication consistency, enhanced collaboration, regulatory compliance, improved accessibility and social license. This provides widespread opportunities for stakeholders to understand the project, its impacts, and its potential before it goes ahead and throughout its lifecycle—facilitating deeper engagement and more informed consent, and driving better and more cost-effective project decisions.

“We’re pleased to welcome AECOM and PlanEngage to the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, which gives our partners great exposure to cloud customers around the globe,” said Jake Zborowski, general manager, Microsoft Azure Platform at Microsoft. “Azure Marketplace offers world-class quality experiences from global trusted partners with solutions tested to work seamlessly with Azure.”

The Azure Marketplace is an online market for buying and selling cloud solutions certified to run on Azure. The Azure Marketplace helps connect companies seeking innovative, cloud-based solutions with partners who have developed solutions that are ready to use.
