Aurigo unveils AI planning solution for infrastructure owners

Aurigo Software, a provider of capital planning and construction management software for capital owners, has launched Primus, an AI-powered capital planning solution tailored for data centre development.

Primus is purpose-built to support high-impact, upstream decision-making that drives long-term investment. By connecting planning with construction and leveraging real-time project data, according to Aurigo, Primus delivers greater visibility and ensures continuous improvement in future planning cycles.

Siloed data and fragmented workflows

The global capital expenditure market is projected to grow from $727.81bn in 2024 to $767.84bn in 2025, reaching $2.47 trillion by 2033 at a compound annual growth rate of 5.5 per cent.

Auriga reports that facility owners are under immense pressure to deploy capital effectively, yet many continue to face challenges due to outdated or siloed data, manual processes, and fragmented workflows. These inefficiencies often result in delayed decisions, missed opportunities, and a lack of clarity across programmes.

“Primus is built to support the strategic needs of capital planning leaders, giving FP&A professionals, department heads, and operational managers the visibility and control they need to drive better outcomes, faster”

“For years, we’ve helped governments plan over $450bn in infrastructure by helping them identify the right projects, justifying them with data, and getting them approved,” said Balaji Sreenivasan, CEO and founder of Aurigo Software.

“With Primus, we’re bringing that same capability to a wider audience, enabling them to score projects, compare scenarios, quantify ROI, build out multi-year cashflows, and get to a ‘yes’, more confidently.”

The Aurigo Primus Plan platform helps facility owners make smarter investments by providing a standardised framework for capturing and evaluating opportunities that align with business goals. It offers comprehensive financial tools to forecast costs, assess risks, and manage budgets effectively. AI-driven scenario planning enables users to prioritise projects, model cash flows, and optimise funding strategies.
