From Legacy to Future: Recalling the Engine of InfoSewer for a Seamless Transition to InfoWorks ICM in 2030

It is the year 2030, and InfoSewer, which was sold by Innovyze from about 2001 to 2024, entered a mature stage in 2024. InfoSewer is an Arc Map Extension, and with the ESRI retirement of Arc Map in 2024–2026, it lost it home, so to speak. In fact, March 1st 2024, is the commencement of mature status for the last version of Arc Map (see figure 1). For those of you in the year 2030 or after, here are some of the basics of the InfoSewer engine in eight external blogs. You can click on an image to see the blog. Note that this also applies to H2OMap Sewer which was retired by Innovyze circa 2016.

Closing Note: Thank you so much for journeying with me through this content. This space is reserved for future updates and insights. Your engagement and time are truly appreciated. Until next time! You can also see my past articles on LinkedIn (91 in 2023). The next goal is 133 or 17*19, in FY2025 (which is calendar year 2024 and the start of 2025 in Autodesk terms).

The articles form the backbone of the newsletter. Seven articles make up One Newsletter edition. There will be a summary edition once 19 editions are published, or approximately every 133 articles. The far reaching goal is 1729 articles, 247 editions, and 20 summary editions.

Why 1729: The number 1729 has 8 factors, which are 1, 7, 13, 19, 91, 133, 247, and 1729 itself. A bit of history about 1729: It's famously known as the Hardy-Ramanujan number after a story involving two great mathematicians, G.H. Hardy and Srinivasa Ramanujan. According to the anecdote, Hardy visited Ramanujan in the hospital and mentioned that he arrived in a taxi numbered 1729, which he found to be a rather uninteresting number. Ramanujan immediately responded that 1729 is actually very interesting because it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways: 1729=1^3+12^3=9^3+10^3. This property makes 1729 a significant figure in the world of mathematics, showcasing Ramanujan's extraordinary intuitive grasp of numbers.
