SPIE Spectades Welcomes Launch of Octave as Independent Software Leader
Den Briel, The Netherlands – [July 2026]
SPIE Spectades welcomes the announcement of Octave (Nasdaq: OCTV), the software spinoff from parent-company Hexagon AB that will operate as a new independent global software company. Octave’s brand signals a clear vision of purpose and mission to unleash intelligence at scale.
As a longstanding Octave partner, SPIE Spectades is enthusiastic about the focus, agility, and innovation this new structure is expected to unlock for customers and partners alike.
Octave represents a bold step forward, bringing a sharpened focus on innovation, customer value, and the ability to scale intelligence across industries where performance, safety, and resilience are critical. Its new identity reflects a clear ambition: to unlock the full potential of data and empower organizations to operate with greater insight, speed, and confidence.
From a structural perspective, the transaction reflects a strategic realignment, separating software-driven activities from Hexagon’s remaining business segments. The intended objective is to establish two independent entities with distinct operational and financial profiles.
“Octave’s independence marks an exciting new chapter,” said Jan Doorduin, Managing Partner at SPIE Spectades. “We see tremendous potential in its vision and are proud to support our customers as Octave continues to evolve and deliver next-generation solutions.”
Building on three decades of expertise and partnership with the world’s biggest and most complex organizations, including more than 60% of the Global Fortune 500, Octave delivers connected, contextual intelligence solutions for the organizations who can’t afford to fail.
Customer Continuity and Commitment
While Octave may be a newly independent company, the spinoff does not alter the contractual position of SPIE Spectades toward its clients. Customers can expect the same high level of service, expertise, and partnership they rely on today. Existing agreements, ongoing implementations, and support services remain in effect, with the same product and partnerships customers have known previously.
SPIE Spectades looks forward to helping customers take advantage of the enhanced capabilities and innovation roadmap that Octave has outlined.
Looking Ahead
The establishment of Octave as an independent company represents more than a structural change, it signals a renewed focus on advancing asset lifecycle intelligence across Design, Build, Operate, and Protect.
SPIE Spectades is excited to play a key role in bringing this vision to life, helping organizations harness the full value of Octave’s technology to improve performance, resilience, and decision-making where it matters most.
