The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated from their respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expense amounts are translated at average rates during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation. Accounting Policies The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require us to select accounting policies and make estimates that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Information on other accounting policies and methods that we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are included, where applicable, in their respective footnotes that follow. Below is a discussion of accounting policies and methods used in our consolidated financial statements that are not presented within other footnotes. Segment — Reportable segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the CODM to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company defines its CODM to be its chief executive officer. The chief executive officer reviews the financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined it operates and manages its business in a single reportable segment, the development and marketing of computer software and related services. The Company markets its products and services through the Company’s offices in the U.S. and its wholly‑owned branches and subsidiaries internationally. Cost of Revenues — Cost of subscriptions and licenses expenses primarily include headcount‑related costs, as well as depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of capitalized software costs associated with servicing software subscriptions, amortization of intangible assets associated with acquired software and technology, channel partner compensation for providing sales coverage to users, as well as cloud‑related costs incurred for servicing the Company’s customers using cloud provisioned solutions and the Company’s license administration platform. Cost of services expenses primarily include headcount‑related costs, as well as depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of capitalized software costs, used for providing training, implementation, configuration, and customization services to customers. Software Development Costs — The Company’s software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external accounts, before technological feasibility is reached, are included in Research and development in the consolidated statements of operations. Research and development expenses, which are generally expensed as incurred, primarily consist of headcount‑related costs. In general, technological feasibility is reached shortly before the release of such products. Under its Accelerated Commercial Development Program (“ACDP”) (the Company’s structured approach to an in‑house business incubator function), the Company capitalizes certain development costs related to certain projects once technological feasibility is established. Technological feasibility is established when a detailed program design has been completed and documented, the Company has established that the necessary skills, hardware, and software technology are available to produce the product, and there are no unresolved high‑risk development issues. Once the software is ready for its intended use, amortization is recorded over the software’s estimated useful life (generally three years). For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, total costs capitalized under the ACDP were $4,558, $7,060, and $6,608, respectively. Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, total ACDP related amortization recorded in Cost of subscriptions and licenses in the consolidated statements of operations was $7,711, $6,626, and $7,020, respectively. The Company evaluates the recoverability of capitalized ACDP costs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized impairment charges of $1,835 related to certain ACDP projects, which were recorded as amortization expense in Cost of subscriptions and licenses in the consolidated statements of operations. No impairment of capitalized ACDP costs occurred for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. Advertising Expense — The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense of $5,365, $6,888, and $2,396 is included in Selling and marketing in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of money market funds and cash held in checking accounts maintained at various financial institutions. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Accounts receivable primarily represent receivables from customers for products and services invoiced by the Company for which payment is outstanding and also unbilled revenues (see Note 3). Receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for expected losses during the accounts receivable collection process. The allowance for doubtful accounts is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets and reduces the accounts receivable balance to the net realizable value of the outstanding accounts receivable. The development of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an expected loss model which considers historical write‑off and recovery experience, aging trends affecting specific accounts, and general operational factors affecting all accounts. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company considers current economic trends and takes into account reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If circumstances relating to specific customers change or unexpected changes occur in the general business environment, the Company’s estimate of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted. Activity related to the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Balance, beginning of year $ 9,303 $ 6,541 Additions to reserve 6,651 5,549 Write-offs, net of recoveries (7,106) (2,317) Foreign currency translation adjustments 117 (470) Balance, end of year $ 8,965 $ 9,303 Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of its cash and cash equivalents, and receivables. To reduce credit risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary. Generally, the Company requires no collateral from its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses, but historically has not experienced any significant losses related to individual customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic region. No single customer accounted for more than 2.0% of the Company’s total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, or more than 2.5% of the Company’s total revenues for the year ended 2021. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with financial institutions and invested in money market funds that the Company believes are of high credit quality. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023‑09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023‑09”), which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023‑09 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023‑09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023‑07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023‑07”), which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how the Company’s CODM uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. ASU 2023‑07 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023‑07 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020‑04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020‑04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020‑04 applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022‑06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 , which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting by extending the sunset date of Topic 848 to December 31, 2024. The expedients and exceptions provided by these ASUs do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2024, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2024, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The Company adopted these ASUs during the second quarter of 2023 (see Note 10) and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | Revenue from Contracts with Customers Disaggregation of Revenues The Company’s revenues consist of the following: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Subscriptions: Enterprise subscriptions (1) $ 433,321 $ 345,678 $ 290,097 SELECT subscriptions 258,288 264,308 269,283 Term license subscriptions 388,698 350,234 253,427 Subscriptions 1,080,307 960,220 812,807 Perpetual licenses 46,038 43,377 53,080 Subscriptions and licenses 1,126,345 1,003,597 865,887 Services: Recurring 16,370 17,804 21,343 Other 85,698 77,681 77,816 Services 102,068 95,485 99,159 Total revenues $ 1,228,413 $ 1,099,082 $ 965,046 (1) Enterprise subscriptions includes revenue attributable to E365 subscriptions of $411,025, $306,901, and $223,293 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The Company recognizes perpetual licenses and the term license component of subscriptions as revenue when either the licenses are delivered or at the start of the subscription term. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company recognized $592,737, $513,736, and $412,375 of license related revenues, respectively, of which $546,699, $470,359, and $359,295, respectively, were attributable to the term license component of the Company’s subscription based commercial offerings recorded in Subscriptions in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company derived 8% of its total revenues through channel partners for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021. Revenue from external customers is attributed to individual countries based upon the location of the customer. Revenues by geographic region are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Americas (1) $ 650,926 $ 584,794 $ 483,087 EMEA 353,550 312,804 300,123 APAC 223,937 201,484 181,836 Total revenues $ 1,228,413 $ 1,099,082 $ 965,046 (1) Americas includes the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, including the Caribbean. Revenue attributable to the U.S. totaled $511,828, $459,511, and $393,865 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Nature of Products and Services The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generates revenues from subscriptions, perpetual licenses, and services. The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The contract costs are amortized based on the economic life of the goods and services to which the contract costs relate. The Company has determined that costs under certain sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs include the Company’s internal sales force compensation program and certain channel partner sales incentive programs for which the annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities. Subscriptions Enterprise Subscriptions The Company provides enterprise subscription offerings, which provide its enterprise accounts with complete and unlimited global access to the Company’s comprehensive portfolio of solutions. E365 subscriptions require a CSS as described below and are charged to accounts primarily based upon daily usage. The daily usage fee includes a term license component, SELECT maintenance and support, hosting, and Success Blueprints, which are designed to achieve business outcomes through more efficient and effective use of the Company’s software. E365 revenues are recognized based upon usage incurred by the account. Usage is primarily defined as distinct user access on a daily basis. E365 subscriptions can contain quarterly usage floors or collars. The term of E365 subscriptions aligns with calendar quarters and revenue is recognized based on actual usage. Alternatively, enterprise license subscriptions (“ELS”) provide access for a prepaid fee, which is based on the account’s usage of software in the preceding year, to effectively create a fee‑certain consumption‑based arrangement. ELS contain a term license component, SELECT maintenance and support, and performance consulting days. The SELECT maintenance and support benefits under ELS do not include a portfolio balancing performance obligation. Revenue is allocated to the various performance obligations based on their respective SSP. Revenue allocated to the term license component is recognized upon delivery at the start of the subscription term while revenues for the SELECT maintenance and support and the performance consulting days are recognized as delivered over the subscription term. Billings in advance are recorded as Deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets. SELECT Subscriptions The Company provides prepaid annual recurring subscriptions that accounts (which are based on distinct contractual and billing relationships with the Company, where affiliated entities of a single parent company may each have an independent account with the Company) can elect to add to a new or previously purchased perpetual license. SELECT provides accounts with benefits, including upgrades, comprehensive technical support, pooled licensing benefits, annual portfolio balancing exchange rights, learning benefits, certain Azure‑based cloud collaboration services, mobility advantages, and access to other available benefits. SELECT subscriptions revenues are recognized as distinct performance obligations are satisfied. The performance obligations within the SELECT offering, outside of the portfolio balancing exchange right, are concurrently delivered and have the same pattern of recognition. These performance obligations are accounted for ratably over the term as a single performance obligation. Term License Subscriptions The Company provides annual, quarterly, and monthly term licenses for its software products. Term license subscriptions contain a term license component and SELECT maintenance and support. Revenue is allocated to the various performance obligations based on their SSP. Annual term licenses (“ATL”) are generally prepaid annually for named user access to specific products and include the Company’s Virtuoso subscriptions sold via the Company’s Virtuosity eStore for practitioner licenses. Virtuoso subscriptions are bundles with customizable training and expert consultation administered through “keys” or credits. Quarterly term license (“QTL”) subscriptions allow accounts to pay quarterly in arrears for license usage that is beyond their prepaid subscriptions. Monthly term license (“MTL”) subscriptions are identical to QTL subscriptions, except for the term of the license, and the manner in which they are monetized. MTL subscriptions require a CSS, which is described below. For ATL, revenue allocated to the term license component is recognized upon delivery at the start of the subscription term while revenue for the SELECT maintenance and support is recognized as delivered over the subscription term. For Virtuoso keys, revenue is recognized as services are delivered. Billings in advance are recorded as Deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets. For usage‑based QTL and MTL subscriptions, revenues are recognized based upon usage incurred by the account. Usage is defined as peak usage over the respective terms. The terms of QTL and MTL subscriptions align with calendar quarters and calendar months, respectively, and revenue is recognized based on actual usage. Visas are quarterly or annual term licenses enabling users to access specific project or enterprise information and entitles users to certain functionality of the Company’s ProjectWise and AssetWise systems. The Company’s standard offerings are usage based with monetization through the Company’s CSS program as described below. CSS is a program designed to streamline the procurement, administration, and payment process. The program requires an estimation of annual usage for CSS eligible offerings and a deposit of funds in advance. Actual consumption is monitored and invoiced against the deposit on a calendar quarter basis. CSS balances not utilized for eligible products or services may roll over to future periods or are refundable. Paid and unconsumed CSS balances are recorded in Accruals and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Software and services consumed under CSS are recognized pursuant to the applicable revenue recognition guidance for the respective software or service and classified as subscriptions or services based on their respective nature. Perpetual Licenses Perpetual licenses may be sold with or without attaching a SELECT subscription. Historically, attachment and retention of the SELECT subscription has been high given the benefits of the SELECT subscription discussed above. Perpetual licenses revenues are recognized upon delivery of the license to the user. Services The Company provides professional services, including training, implementation, configuration, customization, and strategic consulting services. The Company performs projects on both a time and materials and a fixed fee basis. Certain of the Company’s fixed‑fee arrangements, including its Success Services offerings, are structured as subscription‑like, packaged offerings that are annually recurring in nature. Success Services are standard service offerings that provide a level of dedicated professional services above the standard technical support offered to all accounts as part of their SELECT or enterprise agreement. Revenues are recognized as services are performed. The Company primarily utilizes its direct internal sales force and also has arrangements through independent channel partners to promote and sell its products and subscriptions to end‑users. Channel partners are authorized to promote the sale of an authorized set of the Company’s products and subscriptions within an authorized geography under a Channel Partner Agreement. Significant Judgments and Estimates The Company’s contracts with customers may include promises to transfer licenses (perpetual or term‑based), maintenance, and services to a user. Judgment is required to determine if the promises are separate performance obligations, and if so, the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation. When an arrangement includes multiple performance obligations which are concurrently delivered and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, the Company accounts for those performance obligations as a single performance obligation. For contracts with more than one performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations in an amount that depicts the relative SSP of each obligation. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the Company does not sell the product or service separately, the Company determines the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. The Company uses a range of amounts to estimate SSP when it sells each of the products and services separately and needs to determine whether there is a discount that should be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services. The Company’s SELECT agreement provides users with perpetual licenses a right to exchange software for other eligible perpetual licenses on an annual basis upon renewal. The Company refers to this option as portfolio balancing and has concluded that the portfolio balancing feature represents a material right resulting in the deferral of the associated revenue. Judgment is required to estimate the percentage of users who may elect to portfolio balance and considers inputs such as historical user elections. This feature is available once per term and must be exercised prior to the respective renewal term. The Company recognizes the associated revenue upon election or when the portfolio balancing right expires. This right is included in the initial and subsequent renewal terms and the Company reestablishes the revenue deferral for the material right upon the beginning of the renewal term. Unbilled Revenues Unbilled revenues represent revenues that have not yet been billed to customers due to timing differences in usage and billing cycles, and are included in Accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, unbilled revenues were $129,494 and $113,217, respectively. Contract Balances As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s contract assets relate to performance obligations completed in advance of the right to invoice and are included in Prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets were not material as of December 31, 2023 or 2022. Deferred revenues consist of billings made or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from subscriptions and services. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of billings to users. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, total deferred revenues on the consolidated balance sheets were $269,647 and $243,073, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, $213,021 of revenues that were included in the December 31, 2022 deferred revenues balance were recognized. There were additional deferrals of $237,193, which were primarily related to new billings and acquisitions. For the year ended December 31, 2022, $204,279 of revenues that were included in the December 31, 2021 deferred revenues balance were recognized. There were additional deferrals of $221,126, which were primarily related to new billings and acquisitions. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has deferred $18,269 and $17,338, respectively, related to portfolio balancing exchange rights which is included in Deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets. Remaining Performance Obligations The Company’s contracts with customers include amounts allocated to performance obligations that will be satisfied at a later date. As of December 31, 2023, amounts allocated to these remaining performance obligations are $269,647, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 94% over the next 12 months with the remaining amount thereafter. Guarantees The Company’s software license agreements typically provide for indemnification of customers for intellectual property infringement claims. The Company also warrants to customers, when requested, that its software products operate substantially in accordance with standard specifications for a limited period of time. The Company has not incurred significant obligations under customer indemnification or warranty provisions historically and does not expect to incur significant obligations in the future. Accordingly, the Company does not maintain accruals for potential customer indemnification or warranty‑related obligations. |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions The aggregate details of the Company’s acquisition activity are as follows: Acquisitions Completed During Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Number of acquisitions 3 6 13 Cash paid at closing (1) $ 26,287 $ 763,228 $ 1,072,820 Cash acquired (264) (20,221) (37,837) Net cash paid $ 26,023 $ 743,007 $ 1,034,983 (1) Of the cash paid at closing for the year ended December 31, 2023, $1,000 was deposited into an escrow account to secure any potential indemnification and other obligations of the seller. On January 31, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of PLS, a leader in software for the design of overhead electric power transmission lines and their structures, for $695,968 in cash, net of cash acquired. On June 17, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Seequent, a leader in software for geological and geophysical modeling, geotechnical stability, and cloud services for geodata management and collaboration, for $883,336 in cash, net of cash acquired, plus 3,141,342 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. The operating results of the acquired businesses, except for Seequent, were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the contingent consideration from acquisitions is included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: December 31, 2023 2022 Accruals and other current liabilities $ — $ 1,196 Contingent consideration from acquisitions $ — $ 1,196 The fair value of non-contingent consideration from acquisitions is included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: December 31, 2023 2022 Accruals and other current liabilities $ 3,576 $ 2,434 Other liabilities — 2,977 Non-contingent consideration from acquisitions $ 3,576 $ 5,411 The operating results of the acquired businesses are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the closing date of each respective acquisition. The purchase price for each acquisition has been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the respective acquisition date. The Company is in the process of finalizing the purchase accounting for two acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2023. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were provisionally recorded at their estimated fair values on the respective acquisition date. The initial accounting for these business combinations is not complete because the evaluation necessary to assess the fair values of certain net assets acquired is still in process. The provisional amounts are subject to revision until the evaluations are completed to the extent that additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price may be modified from the date of the acquisition as more information is obtained about the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, however, such measurement period cannot exceed one year. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded in General and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company’s acquisition expenses were $5,879, $11,758, and $20,471, respectively, which include costs related to legal, accounting, valuation, insurance, and other consulting and transaction fees. For the year ended December 31, 2022, $9,804 of the Company’s acquisition expenses related to the acquisition of PLS. For the year ended December 31, 2021, $16,557 and $1,644 of the Company’s acquisition expenses related to the acquisition of Seequent and PLS, respectively. The following summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the weighted average useful lives assigned to acquired intangible assets at the respective date of each acquisition (including contingent consideration): Acquisitions Completed During Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Consideration: Cash paid at closing $ 26,287 $ 763,228 $ 1,072,820 Shares issued at closing (1)(2) — — 182,390 Contingent consideration — 1,390 4,544 Deferred, non-contingent consideration, net 525 749 10,090 Other 15 (269) — Total consideration $ 26,827 $ 765,098 $ 1,269,844 Assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Cash $ 264 $ 20,221 $ 37,837 Accounts receivable and other current assets 1,742 8,890 24,174 Operating lease right-of-use assets 397 1,237 12,095 Property and equipment — 1,316 4,383 Deferred income taxes 2,151 — — Other assets 6 7 874 Software and technology (weighted average useful life of 3, 5, and 5 years, respectively) 3,077 10,608 43,560 Customer relationships (weighted average useful life of 6, 10, and 9 years, respectively) 3,900 82,278 158,555 Trademarks (weighted average useful life of 5, 8 and 10 years, respectively) 1,000 6,972 38,256 In-process research and development — — 3,700 Total identifiable assets acquired excluding goodwill 12,537 131,529 323,434 Accruals and other current liabilities (624) (4,079) (27,649) Deferred revenues (4,623) (14,176) (26,245) Operating lease liabilities (397) (1,237) (11,988) Deferred income taxes — (5,745) (53,342) Other liabilities — — (716) Total liabilities assumed (5,644) (25,237) (119,940) Net identifiable assets acquired excluding goodwill 6,893 106,292 203,494 Goodwill 19,934 658,806 1,066,350 Net assets acquired $ 26,827 $ 765,098 $ 1,269,844 (1) Of the total 3,141,342 shares issued at closing, 83,627 shares are subject to forfeiture if post‑closing employment service conditions are not met and accordingly were recorded as stock‑based compensation expense over the related forfeiture period of two years. (2) A fair value adjustment of $16,943 was applied to the stock consideration due to restrictions on the transfer of securities. The Company allocates the purchase price for each acquisition to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value at the respective acquisition date, with the exception of deferred revenues which are recognized and measured on the acquisition date in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies in Note 3. The fair values of the working capital, other assets (liabilities), and property and equipment approximated their respective carrying values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of the intangible assets were primarily determined using the income approach. When applying the income approach, indications of fair values were developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present values at market‑based rates of return. The cash flows were based on estimates used to price the acquisitions and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the Company’s pricing model and the weighted average cost of capital. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the purchase price over the value of net identifiable assets acquired. While best estimates and assumptions are used to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, as well as contingent and non‑contingent consideration, where applicable, the Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. Any adjustments to estimated fair value are recorded to goodwill, provided that the Company is within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) and that the Company continues to collect information to determine estimated fair value. Subsequent to the measurement period or the Company’s final determination of estimated fair value, whichever comes first, adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisitions was attributable to synergies expected to arise from cost saving opportunities, as well as future expected cash flows. The Company expects $9,771 of the goodwill recorded relating to the 2023 acquisitions will be deductible for income tax purposes. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information Had the acquisition of Seequent been made at the beginning of 2020, unaudited pro forma total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 would have been $1,017,975. Net income, net income per share, basic, and net income per share, diluted for the year ended December 31, 2021 would not have been materially different than the amounts reported primarily due to the pro forma adjustments to reflect the amortization of purchased intangibles and the cost to finance the transaction, net of the related tax effects. The unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of 2020. The unaudited pro forma financial information combines the historical results of the Company, the adjusted historical results of Seequent considering the date the Company completed the acquisition of Seequent, and the effects of the pro forma adjustments described above. |

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight‑line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvements or the lease term. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation for equipment commences once it is placed in service, and depreciation for buildings and leasehold improvements commences once they are ready for their intended use. Estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows: Useful Life Building and improvements 25 years Computer equipment and software 3 years Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 5 years Aircraft 6 years Automobiles 3 years Cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or other disposition, the cost of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. If circumstances require an asset to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. No impairment of property and equipment occurred for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021. Related Party Equipment Sale In January 2022, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to sell 50% of its interest in the Company’s aircraft at fair market value to an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The transaction was completed on February 1, 2022 for $2,380 and resulted in a gain of $2,029, which was recorded in Other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 (see Note 20). Subsequent to the transaction, ongoing operating and fixed costs of the aircraft are shared on a proportional use basis subject to a cost-sharing agreement. Such costs were not material during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company determined this transaction was with a related party. |

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows: Balance, December 31, 2021 $ 1,588,477 Acquisitions 658,806 Foreign currency translation adjustments (8,426) Other adjustments (1,673) Balance, December 31, 2022 2,237,184 Acquisitions 19,934 Foreign currency translation adjustments 11,732 Other adjustments 486 Balance, December 31, 2023 $ 2,269,336 Goodwill consists of the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested annually for impairment on October 1, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce its fair value below its carrying amount. The Company allocates goodwill to reporting units on a relative fair value basis. In testing for goodwill impairment, the Company may first qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that a goodwill impairment exists. If it is determined that a quantitative assessment is required and the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the Company will recognize goodwill impairment in the amount in which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, but not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill within the reporting unit. There was no impairment of goodwill as a result of the Company’s annual impairment assessments conducted for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, or 2021. Details of intangible assets other than goodwill are as follows: December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Estimated Gross Accumulated Net Book Gross Accumulated Net Book Intangible assets subject to amortization: Software and technology 3-5 years $ 89,693 $ (59,045) $ 30,648 $ 92,390 $ (51,938) $ 40,452 Customer relationships 3-10 years 323,442 (142,378) 181,064 323,164 (114,387) 208,777 Trademarks 3-10 years 70,710 (33,709) 37,001 69,803 (26,904) 42,899 Non-compete agreements 5 years 350 (276) 74 350 (207) 143 Total intangible assets $ 484,195 $ (235,408) $ 248,787 $ 485,707 $ (193,436) $ 292,271 The aggregate amortization expense for purchased intangible assets with finite lives was reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Cost of subscriptions and licenses $ 12,704 $ 12,478 $ 8,125 Amortization of purchased intangibles 38,515 41,114 25,601 Total amortization expense $ 51,219 $ 53,592 $ 33,726 Intangible assets arise from acquisitions and principally consist of goodwill, trademarks, customer relationships, in‑process research and development, and acquired software and technology.

Under the cost method, the Company records the investment based on original cost less impairments, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same investee. The Company’s share of income or loss of such companies is not included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Through its iTwin Ventures initiative, the Company invests in technology development companies, generally in the form of equity interests or convertible notes. In March 2023, the Company acquired an equity interest in Worldsensing, a leading global connectivity hardware platform company for infrastructure monitoring, via contribution of its sensemetrics’ Thread connectivity device business (the “Thread business”) and cash. The non‑cash contribution of the Thread business resulted in an insignificant gain, which was recorded in Other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 (see Note 20). In July 2022, the Company acquired an equity interest in Teralytics Holdings AG (“Teralytics”), a global platform company for human mobility analysis, via contribution of its Streetlytics mobility data business (“Streetlytics”) and cash. The non‑cash contribution of Streetlytics resulted in an insignificant gain, which was recorded in Other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 (see Note 20). The Company tests its investments for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized impairment charges of $14,588 to write‑down certain cost method investments to their fair value primarily as a result of the investees’ decline in operating performance and the overall decline in the venture investment valuation environment. The impairment charges included $11,130 to write‑off the Company’s investment in Teralytics. The impairment charges were recorded in Other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 (see Note 20). No impairment of investments occurred for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized gains on investments of $2,360, which was recorded in Other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 20). During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company invested a total of $12,841, including $8,928 of cash and non-cash for its investment in Worldsensing. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company invested a total of $15,107, including $11,130 of cash and non-cash for its investment in Teralytics. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s investment balance in Worldsensing was $8,928. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s investment balance in Teralytics was zero and $11,130, respectively. Equity Method Investments The Company applies the equity method of accounting for its investment in which it does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. Under the equity method, the Company recognizes its initial investment at cost and updates the carrying value of its investment by its proportional share of income or losses from the investment. In addition, the Company decreases the carrying value by any dividends received from the investee. The Company does not otherwise adjust the carrying value to reflect changes to the fair market value of the investment. The Company’s equity method investments in joint ventures are considered related parties. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company invested $2,261 and $2,343, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, transactions between the Company and its joint ventures were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Leases The Company’s operating leases consist of office facilities, office equipment, and automobiles. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s leases have remaining terms of less than one year to ten years, some of which include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms from one year to five years and some of which include options to terminate the leases from less than one year to five years. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right‑of‑use assets, Operating lease liabilities , and Long‑term operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right‑of‑use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right‑of‑use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, if the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the Company’s estimated credit rating, the term of the lease, economic environment where the asset resides, and full collateralization. The operating lease right‑of‑use assets also include any lease payments made and are reduced by any lease incentives. Options to extend or terminate the lease are considered in determining the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight‑line basis over the lease term. For contracts with lease and non‑lease components, the Company has elected not to allocate the contract consideration, and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Payments under the Company’s lease arrangements are primarily fixed, however, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the operating lease assets and liabilities. Variable lease cost may include common area maintenance, property taxes, utilities, and fluctuations in rent due to a change in an index or rate. The Company has elected not to recognize a right‑of‑use asset or lease liability for short‑term leases (leases with a term of twelve months or less). Short‑term leases are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight‑line basis over the lease term. The components of operating lease cost reflected in the consolidated statements of operations were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Operating lease cost (1) $ 20,008 $ 20,772 $ 19,425 Variable lease cost 4,594 4,658 4,151 Short-term lease cost — 16 21 Total operating lease cost $ 24,602 $ 25,446 $ 23,597 (1) Operating lease cost includes rent cost related to operating leases for office facilities of $19,199, $20,027, and $18,636 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

The weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 4.6 years and 3.9 years as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The weighted average discount rate was 4.8% and 3.4% as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of right‑of‑use assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. If circumstances require an asset to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized impairment charges of $2,239 to write‑down certain right‑of‑use assets to their fair value primarily as a result of the decision to vacate certain leased facilities. The impairment charges were recorded in General and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations. No impairment of right‑of‑use assets occurred for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. |

The Credit Facility also provides up to $50,000 of letters of credit and other borrowings subject to availability, including an $85,000 U.S. dollar swingline sub‑facility and a $200,000 incremental “accordion” sub‑facility. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense through the maturity date. When the Company amended the Credit Facility on January 25, 2021, to increase the senior secured revolving loan facility and extend the maturity date, the Company performed an extinguishment versus modification assessment on a lender‑by‑lender basis resulting in the write‑off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $353 and the capitalization of fees paid to lenders and third parties of $3,577. On December 22, 2021, the Company amended the Credit Facility to provide for a $200,000 senior secured term loan with a maturity of November 15, 2025 (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan requires principal repayment at the end of each calendar quarter. Beginning with March 31, 2022 and ending with December 31, 2023, the Company was required to repay $1,250 per quarter. Beginning with March 31, 2024 and ending with the last such date prior to the maturity date, the Company is required to repay $2,500 per quarter. The Company incurred $540 of debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan. The Company used borrowings under the Term Loan to pay down borrowings under the swingline sub‑facility and revolving loan facility under the Credit Facility. The Company had $150 of letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 under the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $757,822 and $504,253, respectively, available under the Credit Facility. Effective June 23, 2023, the Company amended the Credit Facility to replace the referenced interest rate based on LIBOR with SOFR. Revolving loan borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates that reset every one, three, or six months depending on the period selected by the Company. Under the Term SOFR elections, revolving loan borrowings bear an interest rate of the applicable term SOFR rate plus 10 bps, plus a spread ranging from 125 bps to 225 bps as determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio. Under the non‑Term SOFR elections, revolving loan borrowings bear a base interest rate of the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the overnight bank funding effective rate plus 50 bps, or (iii) the applicable term SOFR rate plus 10 bps, plus a spread ranging from 25 bps to 125 bps as determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio. Swingline borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest that resets daily. Interest on U.S. dollar swingline borrowings bear an interest rate of the daily simple SOFR rate plus 3.5 bps, plus a spread ranging from 125 bps to 225 bps as determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio. The Company cannot make optional currency swingline borrowings without the consent of the applicable swingline lender. Term loan borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates that reset every one, three, or six months depending on the period selected by the Company. Under the Term SOFR elections, term loan borrowings bear an interest rate of the applicable term SOFR rate plus 10 bps, plus a spread ranging from 100 bps to 200 bps as determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio. Under the non‑Term SOFR elections, term loan borrowings bear a base interest rate of the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the overnight bank funding effective rate plus 50 bps, or (iii) the applicable term SOFR rate plus 10 bps, plus a spread ranging from 0 bps to 100 bps as determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio. In addition, a commitment fee for the unused Credit Facility ranges from 20 bps to 30 bps as determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s material first tier domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ U.S. assets and 65% of the stock of their directly owned foreign subsidiaries. The agreement governing the Credit Facility contains customary positive and negative covenants, including restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and make other restricted payments, as well as events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenants defaults, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness in excess of $50,000, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults in excess of $10,000, failure of any security document supporting the Credit Facility to be in full force and effect, and a change of control. The Credit Facility also contains customary financial covenants, including maximum net leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in its Credit Facility. Voluntary prepayments of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, in whole or in part, are permitted at any time, so long as the Company gives notice as required by the Credit Facility. However, if prepayment is made with respect to a SOFR‑based loan and the prepayment is made on a date other than an interest payment date, the Company is subject to customary breakage costs. Convertible Senior Notes 2026 Notes On January 26, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $690,000 of 0.125% convertible senior notes due 2026. The 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 26, 2021, between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “2026 Trustee”) (the “2026 Indenture”). Interest will accrue from January 26, 2021 and will be payable semi‑annually in arrears in cash on January 15 and July 15 of each year, with the first payment due on July 15, 2021. The 2026 Notes will mature on January 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Company incurred $18,055 of expenses in connection with the 2026 Notes offering consisting of transaction costs. The Company used $25,530 of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2026 Notes to pay the premiums of the capped call options described further below, and approximately $250,500 to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility and to pay related fees and expenses. The Company used the remainder of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2026 Notes for general corporate purposes and towards funding certain acquisitions, including Seequent (see Note 4). During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company paid $1,998 in cash to repurchase $2,170 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2026 Notes through open market transactions resulting in an insignificant gain, which was recorded in Other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. The 2026 Notes were repurchased under the Company’s Repurchase Program authorization (see Note 13). Prior to October 15, 2025, the 2026 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter (and only during such quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Class B common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period (such ten consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1 principal amount of 2026 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Class B common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s Class B common stock, as described in the 2026 Indenture; and (4) if the Company calls the 2026 Notes for redemption. On or after October 15, 2025 until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, the 2026 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, at the Company’s election, based on the applicable conversion rate. The initial conversion rate is 15.5925 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock per $1 principal amount of 2026 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $64.13 per share, and is subject to adjustment as described in the 2026 Indenture. If a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the 2026 Indenture) occurs, then the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a specified period of time. The Company will have the option to redeem the 2026 Notes in whole or in part at any time on or after January 20, 2024 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Class B common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. Upon a fundamental change (as defined in the 2026 Indenture), holders may, subject to certain exceptions, require the Company to purchase their 2026 Notes in whole or in part for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date (as defined in the 2026 Indenture). In addition, upon a Make‑Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2026 Indenture), the Company will, under certain circumstances, increase the applicable conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2026 Notes in connection with such Make‑Whole Fundamental Change. No adjustment to the conversion rate will be made if the stock price in such Make‑Whole Fundamental Change is either less than $44.23 per share or greater than $210.00 per share. The Company will not increase the conversion rate to an amount that exceeds 22.6090 shares per $1 principal amount of 2026 Notes, subject to adjustment. The 2026 Indenture also contains a customary merger covenant. Under the 2026 Indenture, the 2026 Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default. If certain bankruptcy and insolvency‑related events of default with respect to the Company occur, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the then outstanding 2026 Notes shall automatically become due and payable. If any other event of default occurs and is continuing, the 2026 Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of the 2026 Notes of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Notes by notice to the Company and the 2026 Trustee, may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the then outstanding 2026 Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 2026 Indenture provides that, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with reporting covenant in the 2026 Indenture consists exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes were accounted for as debt, with no bifurcation of the embedded conversion feature. Transaction costs were recorded as a direct deduction from the related debt liability in the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2026 Notes. The effective interest rate for the 2026 Notes is 0.658%. As of December 31, 2023, none of the conditions of the 2026 Notes to early convert has been met. The 2026 Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations that rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the 2026 Notes, rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated (including the Company’s 2027 Notes, refer to the section titled “2027 Notes” below), effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness (including obligations under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities), to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables and preferred equity (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof)) of the Company’s subsidiaries. The 2026 Notes contain both affirmative and negative covenants. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the 2026 Notes. Capped Call Options — In connection with the pricing of the 2026 Notes, the Company entered into capped call options with certain of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates and certain other financial institutions. The Company incurred $150 of expenses in connection with the capped call options. The capped call options are expected to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s Class B common stock upon any conversion of 2026 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the capped call options is initially $72.9795 per share, which represents a premium of 65% above the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Class B common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on January 21, 2021 and is subject to customary adjustments under the terms of the capped call options. The capped call options were entered into in conjunction with the issuance of the 2026 Notes, however, they are legally separate agreements that can be separately exercised, with the receipt of shares under the capped call options having no effect on the 2026 Notes, and are legally detachable. As the capped call options are both legally detachable and separately exercisable from the 2026 Notes, the Company accounts for the capped call options separately from the 2026 Notes. The capped call options are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. As such, the premiums paid for the capped call options were included as a net reduction to Additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021. 2027 Notes On June 28, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $575,000 of 0.375% convertible senior notes due 2027. The 2027 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 28, 2021, between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “2027 Trustee”) (the “2027 Indenture”). Interest will accrue from June 28, 2021 and will be payable semi‑annually in arrears in cash on January 1 and July 1 of each year, with the first payment due on January 1, 2022. The 2027 Notes will mature on July 1, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Company incurred $15,065 of expenses in connection with the 2027 Notes offering consisting of transaction costs. The Company used $25,875 of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2027 Notes to pay the premiums of the capped call options described further below, and $536,062 to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility and to pay related fees and expenses. Prior to April 1, 2027, the 2027 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter (and only during such quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2021, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Class B common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period (such ten consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1 principal amount of 2027 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Class B common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s Class B common stock, as described in the 2027 Indenture; and (4) if the Company calls the 2027 Notes for redemption. On or after April 1, 2027 until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, the 2027 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, at the Company’s election, based on the applicable conversion rate. The initial conversion rate is 12.0153 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock per $1 principal amount of 2027 Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $83.23 per share, and is subject to adjustment as described in the 2027 Indenture. If a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the 2027 Indenture) occurs, then the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a specified period of time. The Company will have the option to redeem the 2027 Notes in whole or in part at any time on or after July 5, 2024 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Class B common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. Upon a fundamental change (as defined in the 2027 Indenture), holders may, subject to certain exceptions, require the Company to purchase their 2027 Notes in whole or in part for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date (as defined in the 2027 Indenture). In addition, upon a Make‑Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2027 Indenture), the Company will, under certain circumstances, increase the applicable conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2027 Notes in connection with such Make‑Whole Fundamental Change. No adjustment to the conversion rate will be made if the stock price in such Make‑Whole Fundamental Change is either less than $61.65 per share or greater than $325.00 per share. The Company will not increase the conversion rate to an amount that exceeds 16.2206 shares per $1 principal amount of 2027 Notes, subject to adjustment. The 2027 Indenture also contains a customary merger covenant. Under the 2027 Indenture, the 2027 Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default. If certain bankruptcy and insolvency‑related events of default with respect to the Company occur, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the then outstanding 2027 Notes shall automatically become due and payable. If any other event of default occurs and is continuing, the 2027 Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of the 2027 Notes of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2027 Notes by notice to the Company and the 2027 Trustee, may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the then outstanding 2027 Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 2027 Indenture provides that, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with reporting covenant in the 2027 Indenture consists exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes were accounted for as debt, with no bifurcation of the embedded conversion feature. Transaction costs were recorded as a direct deduction from the related debt liability in the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2027 Notes. The effective interest rate for the 2027 Notes is 0.864%. As of December 31, 2023, none of the conditions of the 2027 Notes to early convert has been met. The 2027 Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations that rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the 2027 Notes, rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated (including the Company’s 2026 Notes), effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness (including obligations under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities), to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables and preferred equity (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof)) of the Company’s subsidiaries. The 2027 Notes contain both affirmative and negative covenants. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the 2027 Notes. Capped Call Options — In connection with the pricing of the 2027 Notes, the Company entered into capped call options with certain of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates and certain other financial institutions. The Company incurred $50 of expenses in connection with the capped call options. The capped call options are expected to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s Class B common stock upon any conversion of 2027 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the capped call options is initially $95.5575 per share, which represents a premium of 55% above the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Class B common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on June 23, 2021 and is subject to customary adjustments under the terms of the capped call options. The capped call options were entered into in conjunction with the issuance of the 2027 Notes, however, they are legally separate agreements that can be separately exercised, with the receipt of shares under the capped call options having no effect on the 2027 Notes, and are legally detachable. As the capped call options are both legally detachable and separately exercisable from the 2027 Notes, the Company accounts for the capped call options separately from the 2027 Notes. The capped call options are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. As such, the premiums paid for the capped call options were included as a net reduction to Additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021. Derivative Arrangements The Company records derivative instruments as an asset or liability measured at fair value and depending on the nature of the hedge, the corresponding changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations or comprehensive income. If the derivative is determined to be a hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities through the consolidated statements of operations or recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes until the hedged item is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is recognized in earnings. Also, changes in the entire fair value of a derivative that is not designated as a hedge are recognized in earnings. Effective on April 2, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $200,000 and a ten‑year term to reduce the interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility. Effective on June 26, 2023, the Company amended the interest rate swap agreement to replace the LIBOR rate to SOFR under the ISDA Fallback Protocols included within the agreement. Subsequent to the amendment, the Company will continue to pay a fixed interest rate of 72.9 bps, and will receive a floating interest rate equal to daily SOFR plus an ARRC spread adjustment of 11.448 bps. The interest rate swap is not designated as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes. The Company accounts for the interest rate swap as either an asset or a liability on the consolidated balance sheets and carries the derivative at fair value (see Note 17). Gain (loss) from the change in fair value and payments related to the interest rate swap are recognized in Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 20). The bank counterparty to the derivative potentially exposes the Company to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance. To mitigate that risk, the Company only contracts with counterparties who meet the Company’s minimum requirements under its counterparty risk assessment process. The Company monitors counterparty risk on at least a quarterly basis and adjusts its exposure as necessary. The Company does not enter into derivative instrument transactions for trading or speculative purposes. Interest Expense, Net Interest expense, net consists of the following: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Contractual interest expense $ (34,973) $ (26,275) $ (5,464) Amortization and write-off of deferred debt issuance costs (7,291) (7,291) (5,955) Other interest income (expense) 933 (1,490) (108) Interest income 1,538 421 306 Interest expense, net $ (39,793) $ (34,635) $ (11,221) The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility were 7.13%, 3.84%, and 2.03% for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Executive Bonus Plan | Executive Bonus Plan Certain of the Company’s key employees, including its named executive officers, participate in the Company’s Bonus Plan. Pursuant to the Bonus Plan, participants are eligible to receive incentive bonuses that are determined based on the Company’s adjusted Management Report Operating Income (“MROI”), as defined in the plan agreement and before deduction for such plan payments. For purposes of the Bonus Plan, the bonus pool thereunder may be funded with up to an aggregate of 20% of the Company’s adjusted MROI, subject to approval by the Sustainability Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with payments made to plan participants based on each such participant’s allocated interest in the bonus pool. The plan permits the deduction of certain holdback amounts from the plan’s pool, from which amounts can then be allocated to fund items including equity and/or cash incentive compensation for non‑plan participants and participant charitable contributions. On November 2, 2022, the Sustainability Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Bonus Plan such that with respect to fiscal year 2022, one‑third of the Company’s Chief Investment Officer’s allocated percentage interest will be multiplied by a coefficient derived from the performance of the Company’s BSY Investments group (the Company’s executive team focused on portfolio development, mergers and acquisitions, venture capital investing, digital integrator business activities, and various incubating and accelerating business activities). This coefficient is generally determined by calculating the annual increase (or decrease) in value of the BSY Investments portfolio, taking into account applicable fees and an annual hurdle rate, in all cases, as approved by the Company’s non-employee directors. The Company’s Chief Investment Officer retired effective March 31, 2023 and received one Bonus Plan payout during 2023 in respect to the 2022 fiscal year under the amended allocated percentage interest. A participant may defer any portion, or all, of such participant’s incentive bonus payable pursuant to the Bonus Plan into the DCP (see Note 12). The Bonus Plan provides, in part, that a participant may elect to receive any portion, or all, of such participant’s non‑deferred incentive bonus in the form of shares of fully vested Class B common stock issued under the Bentley Systems, Incorporated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Incentive Award Plan”), subject to the limitation described below. The Company records the election of non‑deferred incentive bonus in the form of shares of fully vested Class B common stock as stock‑based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 15). Such election must be made prior to the start of the applicable calendar quarter for which the incentive bonus is to be paid, and the number of shares of Class B common stock payable in respect of such elected amount is calculated using a volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Class B common stock for the period commencing on the tenth trading day prior to the end of the applicable calendar quarter and ending on the tenth trading day following the end of the applicable calendar quarter. Notwithstanding participants’ elections to receive shares of fully vested Class B common stock in respect of their non‑deferred incentive bonus payments, if, in any calendar quarter, the aggregate U.S. dollar value of shares of fully vested Class B common stock payable in respect of the non‑deferred incentive bonuses exceeds $7,500, the portion of each participant’s non‑deferred incentive bonus payable in shares of fully vested Class B common stock will be reduced pro rata such that the $7,500 limit is not exceeded, and, for each affected participant, the amount of such reduction will be payable in cash. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the incentive compensation, including cash payments, election to receive shares of fully vested Class B common stock, and deferred compensation to plan participants, recognized under this plan (net of all applicable holdbacks) was $21,463, $33,242, and $33,454, respectively. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Retirement Plans | Retirement Plans Deferred Compensation Plan Under the Company’s DCP, certain officers and key employees may defer all or any part of their incentive compensation, and the Company may make discretionary awards on behalf of such participants. Elective participant deferrals and discretionary Company awards are received in the form of phantom shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, which are valued for accounting purposes in the same manner as actual shares of Class B common stock, and are recorded as stock‑based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 15). The DCP has 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock reserved for issuance. As of December 31, 2023, shares of Class B common stock available for future issuance under the DCP were 4,421,623. In August 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the DCP, which offered to certain active executives in the DCP a one‑time, short‑term election to reallocate a limited portion of their DCP holdings from phantom shares of the Company’s Class B common stock into other phantom investment funds. The offer to reallocate was subject to a proration mechanism which adjusted the aggregate elections to a maximum of 1,500,000 phantom shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. This resulted in a reduction of 1,500,000 shares in both the basic and diluted count of Company shares. While DCP participants’ investments in phantom shares remain equity classified, as they will be settled in shares of Class B common stock upon eventual distribution, the amendment and elections resulted in a change to liability classification for the reallocated phantom investments, as they will be settled in cash upon eventual distribution. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reclassified cumulative compensation cost of $4,739 from Additional paid-in capital to Accruals and other current liabilities or Deferred compensation plan liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and recognized a compensation charge of $90,721 to Deferred compensation plan expenses in the consolidated statements of operations to record the reallocated deferred compensation plan liabilities at their fair value of $95,460. DCP participants’ holdings in phantom investment funds are classified as liabilities in either Accruals and other current liabilities or Deferred compensation plan liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as they will be settled in cash upon eventual distribution. The deferred compensation plan liabilities are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the liabilities recorded as an expense (income) to Deferred compensation plan in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred compensation plan expense (income) was $13,580, $(15,782), and $95,046 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, DCP elective participant deferrals were $1,765, $6,580, and $2,619, respectively. No discretionary contributions were made to the DCP during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, phantom shares of the Company’s Class B common stock issuable by the DCP were 17,364,980 and 21,587,831, respectively. The total liabilities related to the DCP is included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: December 31, 2023 2022 Accruals and other current liabilities $ 2,355 $ 2,067 Deferred compensation plan liabilities 88,181 77,014 Total DCP liabilities $ 90,536 $ 79,081 Other Plans The Company maintains a qualified 401(k) profit‑sharing plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of substantially all U.S.‑based full‑time colleagues. The Company may make discretionary profit‑sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company matches 50%, up to a maximum of 6% of qualified cash compensation for each eligible participating colleague. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company matched 50%, up to a maximum of 5% of qualified cash compensation for each eligible participating colleague. The Company’s matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $5,260, $4,933, and $4,114, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The Company also maintains various retirement benefit plans (primarily defined contribution plans) for colleagues of its international subsidiaries. The Company’s contributions to these plans were $13,208, $11,803, and $10,729, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Preferred and Common Stock | Preferred and Common Stock Preferred Stock Authorized and Selected Terms The Company’s amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Company to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Preferred stock has rights, preferences, and privileges which may be designated from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. Common Stock Authorized and Selected Terms The Company’s amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Company to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and up to 1,800,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to one vote per share, while each share of Class A common stock is entitled to 29 votes per share and is convertible at any time into one share of Class B common stock. Class A common stock will automatically convert into Class B common stock upon certain transfers, and its votes per share will be reduced to 11 in the event none of the Bentleys (Barry J. Bentley, Gregory S. Bentley, Keith A. Bentley, Raymond B. Bentley, and Richard P. Bentley, collectively) serves as a Company director or executive officer. Class A common stock also will automatically convert into shares of Class B common stock upon the affirmative vote of at least 90% of the then outstanding shares of Class A common stock or such time that the Bentley family (the Bentleys, certain other family members and trusts and other entities controlled by or primarily for the benefit of the Bentleys and their families, collectively) directly or indirectly, own less than 20% of the issued and outstanding Class B common stock on a fully-diluted basis (assuming the conversion of all issued and outstanding Class A common stock). For the year ended December 31, 2023, 64,130 shares of Class A common stock were converted to Class B common stock. BSY Stock Repurchase Program On May 11, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the Repurchase Program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $200,000 of the Company’s Class B common stock through June 30, 2024. On December 14, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the Repurchase Program to allow the Company also to repurchase its outstanding convertible senior notes. This additional authorization did not increase the overall dollar limit of the Repurchase Program. The shares and notes proposed to be acquired in the Repurchase Program may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, through privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The Company intends to fund repurchases from available working capital and cash provided by operating activities. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares and/or notes repurchased under the Repurchase Program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including management’s assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company’s shares, the market price of the Company’s Class B common stock and outstanding notes, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company’s debt and other agreements, and applicable legal requirements. The exact number of shares and/or notes to be repurchased by the Company is not guaranteed, and the Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company did not repurchase shares under the Repurchase Program for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 896,126 shares for $28,250, and $2,170 aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2026 Notes for $1,998 (see Note 10) under the Repurchase Program.

Global Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Bentley Systems, Incorporated Global Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) provides eligible colleagues of the Company with an opportunity to contribute up to 15% of their eligible compensation toward the purchase of the Company’s Class B common stock at a discounted price, up to a maximum of $25 per year and subject to any other plan limitations. The ESPP has 25,000,000 shares of Class B common stock reserved for issuance. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, the ESPP has been implemented by means of consecutive offering periods, which will run from January 1st (or the first trading day thereafter) through June 30th (or the first trading day prior to such date), and from July 1st (or the first trading day thereafter) through December 31st (or the first trading day prior to such date). The purchase price per share at which shares of Class B common stock are sold in an offering period under the ESPP will be equal to the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of a share of Class B common stock (i) on the first trading day of the offering period, or (ii) on the purchase date (i.e., the last trading day of the offering period).

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation Total stock‑based compensation expense consists of the following: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) expense $ 54,606 $ 40,754 $ 19,917 Bonus Plan expense (see Note 11) 14,801 28,571 23,121 ESPP expense (see Note 13) 2,407 2,890 2,118 Stock grants expense 600 450 445 Stock option expense 343 2,150 3,271 DCP elective participant deferrals expense (1) (see Note 12) 215 391 173 Total stock-based compensation expense (2) $ 72,972 $ 75,206 $ 49,045 (1) DCP elective participant deferrals expense excludes deferred incentive bonus payable pursuant to the Bonus Plan. (2) As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $4,043 and $7,300 remained in Accruals and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. Total stock‑based compensation expense is included in the consolidated statements of operations as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Cost of subscriptions and licenses $ 4,444 $ 2,781 $ 1,442 Cost of services 3,196 2,055 1,257 Research and development 19,380 27,209 19,740 Selling and marketing 11,565 8,898 5,980 General and administrative 34,387 34,263 20,626 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 72,972 $ 75,206 $ 49,045 Stock‑based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Specifically for performance‑based RSUs, stock‑based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards expected to vest at each reporting date. The Company accounts for forfeitures of equity awards as those forfeitures occur. The fair value of the common stock during periods prior to the IPO was determined by the Board of Directors at each award grant date based upon a variety of factors, including the results obtained from independent third‑party valuations, the Company’s financial condition, and historical financial performance. Restricted Stock and RSUs Under the equity incentive plans, the Company may grant both time‑based and performance‑based shares of restricted Class B common stock and RSUs to eligible colleagues. Time‑based awards generally vest ratably on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Performance‑based awards vesting is determined by the achievement of certain business growth targets, which include growth in ARR, as well as actual bookings for perpetual licenses and non‑recurring services. Performance targets are generally set for performance periods of one year to three years. The fair value of restricted stock and RSUs is determined by the product of the number of shares granted and the Company’s common stock price on the grant date. Shares of restricted stock have voting rights and, subject to the terms of the award agreements, the time‑based restricted stock awards generally accrue declared dividends which are paid upon vesting. RSUs, which may be cash or share‑settled depending on the award, do not have voting rights, but, subject to the terms of the award agreements, generally accrue declared dividends which are paid upon vesting. Beginning with the April 2021 grant, time‑based RSUs have dividend equivalent rights and do not accrue cash dividends. Certain historical RSUs granted in 2016 under the Company’s amended and restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Equity Incentive Plan”) have dividend equivalent rights and do not accrue cash dividends. Recipients of the Company’s outstanding performance‑based restricted stock awards and RSUs are paid dividends prior to vesting. The following is a summary of unvested restricted stock and RSU activity and related information under the Company’s applicable equity incentive plans: Time- Performance- Based Based Time- Weighted Weighted Total Based Average Average Restricted Restricted Performance- Grant Date Grant Date Stock Stock Based Fair Value Fair Value and RSUs and RSUs RSUs Per Share Per Share Unvested, December 31, 2022 3,068,851 2,706,078 (3) 362,773 (4) $ 36.67 $ 38.21 Granted 1,467,585 (1) 1,268,939 198,646 (5) 42.79 39.14 Vested (997,938) (840,778) (157,160) 35.36 38.20 Forfeited and canceled (234,649) (196,031) (38,618) 34.02 33.59 Unvested, December 31, 2023 3,303,849 (2) 2,938,208 365,641 $ 39.87 $ 39.21 (1) For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company only granted RSUs. (2) Includes 55,905 RSUs which are expected to be settled in cash. (3) Includes 199,076 time‑based RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to certain officers and key employees, which cliff vest on January 31, 2025. (4) Primarily relates to the 2022 annual performance period, except for 185,186 performance‑based RSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2022 with extraordinary terms, which are described below. (5) Primarily relates to the 2023 annual performance period, except for 13,367 additional shares earned based on the achievement of 2022 performance goals for performance‑based RSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company granted 185,186 performance‑based RSUs to certain officers and key employees, which vest subject to the achievement of certain performance goals over a three‑year performance period (the “Performance Period”). For each year of the Performance Period, one‑third of the performance‑based RSUs will be subject to a cliff, whereby no vesting of that portion will occur unless the Company’s applicable margin metrics (which, for 2022, was Adjusted EBITDA margin and for 2023 and 2024, will be Adjusted OI w/SBC margin, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations) also equals or exceeds the relevant target level for such year. Provided that the applicable margin targets are met, the total number of performance‑based RSUs that will vest is determined by the achievement of growth targets, which include growth in ARR, as well as actual bookings for perpetual licenses and non‑recurring services. Final actual vesting will be determined on January 31, 2025. The 2023 Adjusted OI w/SBC margin target, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations, and the 2022 Adjusted EBITDA margin target for the performance-based RSUs were met. In 2016, the Company granted RSUs subject to performance‑based vesting as determined by the achievement of certain business growth targets. Certain colleagues elected to defer delivery of such shares upon vesting. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, 1,562, 10,888, and 10,864 shares, respectively, were delivered to colleagues, and 36, 30, and 45 additional shares, respectively, were earned as a result of dividends. As of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, 7,837, 9,363, and 20,221 shares, respectively, of these vested and deferred RSUs remained outstanding. The weighted average grant date fair values of RSUs granted were $42.29, $38.18, and $52.48 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, restricted stock and RSUs were issued net of 161,841, 112,698, and 125,825 shares, respectively, which were sold back to the Company to settle applicable income tax withholdings of $7,299, $4,491, and $7,293, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, there was $82,891 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested time‑based restricted stock and RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.7 years. As of December 31, 2023, there was $2,609 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested performance‑based RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.0 years. Stock Grants Under the equity incentive plans, the Company may grant unrestricted, fully vested shares of Class B common stock. The fair value of stock grants is determined by the product of the number of fully vested Class B common stock granted and the Company’s common stock price on the grant date. The total expense related to stock grants is recognized on the grant date as the issued awards are fully vested. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company granted 12,639, 13,632, and 7,824 fully vested shares of Class B common stock, respectively. Stock Options The fair value of each stock option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. Stock options generally vest ratably on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. The Company did not grant stock options during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021. The following is a summary of stock option activity and related information under the Company’s applicable equity incentive plans: Weighted Weighted Average Average Remaining Aggregate Stock Exercise Price Contractual Intrinsic Options Per Share Life (in years) Value Outstanding, December 31, 2022 3,794,515 $ 5.57 Exercised (2,860,586) 5.52 Forfeited and expired (17,500) 5.68 Outstanding, December 31, 2023 916,429 $ 5.74 0.2 $ 42,559 Exercisable, December 31, 2023 916,429 $ 5.74 0.2 $ 42,559 For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company received cash proceeds of $11,715, $8,338, and $5,605, respectively, related to the exercise of stock options. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $112,025, $101,643, and $270,614, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, there was no remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options. Acquisition Options In addition to stock options granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans, in connection with an acquisition completed in March 2018, the Company issued to certain selling shareholder entities options to acquire an aggregate of up to 900,000 shares of Class B common stock. As of December 31, 2020, the Company fully recognized the stock‑based compensation expense associated with these options. During the year ended December 31, 2022, 900,000 options were exercised. No acquisition options remain outstanding as of December 31, 2022. ESPP The ESPP is considered a compensatory plan as it provides eligible colleagues an option to purchase shares of the Company’s Class B common stock for 85% of the lower of the price of the first day of the offering period or the last day of the offering period (i.e., the purchase date). The fair value of each purchase right under the ESPP was calculated as the sum of its components, which includes the discount, a six‑month call option, and a six‑month put option. The call and put options were valued using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. Stock‑based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the respective offering period. Equity Incentive Plans The Company’s 2020 Incentive Award Plan provides for the granting of stock, stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and other stock‑based or performance‑based awards to certain directors, officers, colleagues, consultants, and advisors of the Company, and terminates in September 2030. The 2020 Incentive Award Plan provides that 25,000,000 shares of Class B common stock may be issued for equity awards. Equity awards that are expired, canceled, forfeited, or terminated for any reason will be available for future grant under the 2020 Incentive Award Plan. As of December 31, 2023, equity awards available for future grants under the 2020 Incentive Award Plan were 20,946,599. The Company also has equity awards outstanding under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which terminates in November 2024. Following the completion of the IPO, no further awards may be granted under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. |

Income Taxes | Income Taxes The components of Income before income taxes consist of the following: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Domestic $ 16,652 $ 98,188 $ (14,544) International 166,875 100,087 107,873 Income before income taxes $ 183,527 $ 198,275 $ 93,329 The Benefit (provision) for income taxes consists of the following: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Current: Federal $ (12,899) $ (2,307) $ 770 State (2,567) (1,387) 163 Foreign (40,171) (22,715) (17,230) (55,637) (26,409) (16,297) Deferred: Federal 134,516 3,547 15,182 State 29,514 60 3,660 Foreign 34,848 1,519 903 198,878 5,126 19,745 Benefit (provision) for income taxes $ 143,241 $ (21,283) $ 3,448 A reconciliation of the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Federal statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State and local income taxes, net of federal benefit (0.3) 1.0 (2.7) Stock-based compensation (22.9) (21.4) (52.5) Non-deductible officer compensation 14.9 11.0 36.6 Tax credits (5.8) (2.9) (6.1) Withholding taxes 4.9 2.8 5.8 Foreign tax rate differential (3.0) (2.0) (6.9) Net tax on foreign earnings (GILTI/FDII) 4.2 0.9 — Transaction costs (0.1) 0.5 3.9 Tax impact of internal legal entity restructuring (93.1) — — Other 2.2 (0.2) (2.8) Effective income tax rate (78.0 %) 10.7 % (3.7 %) For the year ended December 31, 2023, the effective tax rate was lower as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to the discrete tax benefit recognized as a result of the internal legal entity restructuring described below. The benefit of the internal legal entity restructuring was partially offset by an increase in the effective tax rate impact of the GILTI inclusion due to the mandatory capitalization of research and development expenses for U.S. tax purposes and a decrease in discrete tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, net of the impact from officer compensation limitation provisions, recognized during the current year. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $14,648 and $20,501, respectively, associated with windfall tax benefits from stock‑based compensation, net of the impact from officer compensation limitation provisions. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recognized a net discrete income tax benefit of $170,784 attributable to internal legal entity restructuring and related intra-entity transactions as part of its continuing efforts to align intellectual property ownership with the Company’s business operating model. These transactions resulted in the recognition of deferred tax benefits arising from the net increase in deferred tax assets related to intangibles and goodwill of $171,622. The deferred tax assets represent the undiscounted future anticipated cash tax impacts of basis differences, which are expected to be realized through tax amortization over the next 13 years. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the effective tax rate was higher as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to the 2021 effective tax rate impact, net of officer compensation limitation provisions, related to the 2021 compensation charge of $90,721 to Deferred compensation plan expenses to record reallocated deferred compensation plan liabilities at fair value (see Note 12). For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded discrete tax benefits of $20,501 and $14,890, respectively, associated with windfall tax benefits from stock‑based compensation, net of the impact from officer compensation limitation provisions. The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “JOBS Act”) requires certain GILTI earned by a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) to be included in the gross income of the CFC’s U.S. shareholder. The Company has elected the “period cost method” and treats taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current‑period expense when incurred. The JOBS Act allows a U.S. corporation a deduction equal to a certain percentage of its foreign‑derived intangible income (“FDII”). The following is a summary of the significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities: December 31, 2023 2022 Deferred tax assets: Accrued compensation $ 38,220 $ 35,298 NOL and credit carryforwards 19,677 14,960 Intangible assets including goodwill 137,576 — Convertible debt and 163(j) limitation 14,364 13,349 Lease liabilities 7,610 8,920 Other accruals not currently deductible 502 1,122 Allowance for doubtful accounts 1,852 1,856 Deferred revenues 4,402 2,914 Other 2,852 2,383 Total deferred tax assets 227,055 80,802 Less: Valuation allowance (2,664) (3,321) Net deferred tax assets 224,391 77,481 Deferred tax liabilities: Intangible assets including goodwill — (51,994) Operating lease right-of-use assets (6,762) (8,381) Prepaid expenses (2,746) (2,877) Unrealized gains and losses (8,131) (9,422) Property and equipment (3,639) (3,406) Total deferred tax liabilities (21,278) (76,080) Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ 203,113 $ 1,401 The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of NOL carryforwards, credit carryforwards, and temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the items are expected to reverse. The Company had deferred tax assets for tax credits and NOLs, net of unrecognized tax positions, primarily related to: Jurisdiction: December 31, 2023 Begin to Expire U.S. Federal NOL $ 3,497 2034 U.S. Federal research and development credits 201 2039 U.S. Federal foreign tax credits 340 2028 U.S. State NOL 1,530 2036 U.S. State research and development credits 667 2030 U.K. NOL 6,759 Indefinite U.K. research and development credits 760 Indefinite Canadian research and development credit 1,037 2030 As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has a valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets related to NOLs and tax attributes in certain jurisdictions of $2,664 and $3,321, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company decreased the valuation allowance by $657, which was primarily related to the partial utilization of U.S. capital loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether the existing deferred tax assets will be realized. We have provided for any applicable income taxes associated with current year distributions, as well as any earnings that are expected to be distributed in the future, in the calculation of the income tax provision. No additional provision has been made for U.S. and non‑U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries that are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. As of December 31, 2023, certain subsidiaries had approximately $335,988 of cumulative undistributed earnings that have been deemed permanently reinvested. A liability could arise if our intention to indefinitely reinvest such earnings were to change and amounts are distributed by such subsidiaries or if such subsidiaries are ultimately disposed. The potential tax implications of unremitted earnings are driven by the facts at the time of the distribution. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes related to indefinitely reinvested earnings or the basis differences related to investments in subsidiaries. The following is a reconciliation of the changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Gross unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year $ 910 $ 1,331 $ 1,223 Increases for tax positions of prior years 12 — 160 Decreases for tax positions of prior years (9) (121) (42) Increases for tax positions related to the current year — — — Decreases relating to settlements with taxing authorities — (35) — Reductions as a result of lapse of the statute of limitations (447) (265) (10) Gross unrecognized tax benefits, end of year $ 466 $ 910 $ 1,331 As of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company had total unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties of $557, $1,194, and $1,704, respectively, of which $554, $1,181, and $1,273, respectively, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. Interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits included in the Benefit (provision) for income taxes was $194, $89, $(101) for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The cumulative accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $91, $284, and $373 as of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S. (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining the provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company establishes reserves for tax‑related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite its belief that the Company’s tax return positions are fully supportable. The tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of tax audits. The Provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate. The Company records accrued interest and/or penalties, where applicable, related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of the Benefit (provision) for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company records the amount of uncertain taxes expected to be paid in the next 12 months as a current liability and records the remaining amount in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company is currently under audit in the U.K. for years 2018 through 2021. The Company is also under audit in the Netherlands for years 2018 through 2021. In addition, the Company is under audit in various other foreign taxing jurisdictions that are not material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s U.S. consolidated federal income tax returns for years 2020 through 2023 may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company also may be subject to examination by other significant jurisdictions, including the Irish Revenue Commissioners for Irish tax purposes for years 2019 through 2023 and by the Inland Revenue Department for New Zealand Tax purposes for years 2018 through 2023. In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) adopted model rules to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as “Pillar 2”). The OECD has continued to issue administrative guidance and interpretations regarding the Pillar 2 rules. A number of E.U. and G20 member nations, including locations where the Company currently has operations, are at various stages in the process of enacting tax legislation to incorporate aspects of the Pillar 2 rules. For countries that have adopted the model rules, certain aspects of the Pillar 2 rules will be effective in 2024, while other aspects are expected to become effective in 2025. Due to the uncertainty regarding which countries will enact Pillar 2 legislation and in what form the legislation will be adopted, as well as uncertainty regarding the timing of individual country legislative action and the underlying complexity of the rules, we are still assessing the impact, if any, of the Pillar 2 legislation on the Company. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three‑level hierarchy, based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset or liability’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, account receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accruals, certain other current and long‑term liabilities, and long‑term debt. Current Assets and Current Liabilities — In general, the carrying amounts reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short‑term nature of those instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022: Acquisition Contingent Consideration — The fair value of these liabilities is generally determined using a cost or income approach and is measured based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of contingent consideration uses assumptions the Company believes would be made by a market participant. Interest Rate Swap — The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap asset or liability is determined using an income approach and is measured based on the implied forward rates for the remaining term of the interest rate swap. The Company considers these valuation inputs to be Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Long-Term Debt — The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Facility approximated its carrying value based upon discounted cash flows at current market rates for instruments with similar remaining terms. The Company considers these valuation inputs to be Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes was $684,205 and $516,051, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes was $622,431 and $470,856, respectively. The estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes is based on quoted market prices of the Company’s instrument in markets that are not active and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret the market data and develop estimates of fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts at which these instruments could be purchased, sold, or settled. Deferred Compensation Plan Liabilities — The fair value of deferred compensation plan liabilities, including the liability classified phantom investments in the DCP, are marked to market at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis consist of the following: December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Money market funds (1) $ 1 $ — $ — $ 1 Interest rate swap (2) — 32,162 — 32,162 Total assets $ 1 $ 32,162 $ — $ 32,163 Liabilities: Deferred compensation plan liabilities (3) $ 90,536 $ — $ — $ 90,536 Cash-settled equity awards (4) 781 — — 781 Total liabilities $ 91,317 $ — $ — $ 91,317 December 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Money market funds (1) $ 19 $ — $ — $ 19 Interest rate swap (2) — 37,200 — 37,200 Total assets $ 19 $ 37,200 $ — $ 37,219 Liabilities: Acquisition contingent consideration (4) $ — $ — $ 1,196 $ 1,196 Deferred compensation plan liabilities (3) 79,081 — — 79,081 Cash-settled equity awards (4) 536 — — 536 Total liabilities $ 79,617 $ — $ 1,196 $ 80,813 (1) Included in Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Income Per Share | Net Income Per Share Net income per share of Class A and Class B common stock amounts are computed using the two‑class method required for participating securities, using the treasury stock method for awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans and ESPP, and using the if‑converted method for the convertible senior notes. In addition, the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock is inclusive of undistributed shares held in the DCP as phantom shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. The Company issues certain performance-based RSUs determined to be participating securities because holders of such shares have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event of the Company’s declaration of a dividend for common shares. As of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, there were 365,641, 362,773, and 96,683 participating securities outstanding, respectively. Undistributed net income allocated to participating securities are subtracted from net income in determining basic net income attributable to common stockholders. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing basic net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares, inclusive of undistributed shares held in the DCP as phantom shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. For the Company’s diluted net income per share numerator, interest expense, net of tax, attributable to the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes is added back to basic net income attributable to common stockholders. For the Company’s diluted net income per share denominator, the basic weighted average number of shares is adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans and ESPP, and for the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing diluted net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of fully diluted common shares. Except with respect to voting and conversion, the rights of the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock and the Company’s Class B common stock are identical. Each class of shares has the same rights to dividends and allocation of income (loss) and, therefore, net income per share would not differ under the two‑class method. The details of basic and diluted net income per share are as follows : Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Numerator: Net income $ 326,787 $ 174,780 $ 93,192 Less: Net income attributable to participating securities (74) (42) (9) Net income attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders, basic 326,713 174,738 93,183 Add: Interest expense, net of tax, attributable to assumed conversion of convertible senior notes 6,874 6,810 — Net income attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders, diluted $ 333,587 $ 181,548 $ 93,183 Denominator: Weighted average shares, basic 312,358,823 309,226,677 305,711,345 Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock, and RSUs 2,435,456 4,705,172 8,791,084 Dilutive effect of ESPP 75,568 166,606 108,385 Dilutive effect of assumed conversion of convertible senior notes 17,633,786 17,666,703 — Weighted average shares, diluted 332,503,633 331,765,158 314,610,814 Net income per share, basic $ 1.05 $ 0.57 $ 0.30 Net income per share, diluted $ 1.00 $ 0.55 $ 0.30 The following potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would have been anti‑dilutive for the periods presented: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 RSUs — 718,105 150,017 Convertible senior notes — — 13,474,580 Total anti-dilutive securities — 718,105 13,624,597 |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation Accounting Policies The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require us to select accounting policies and make estimates that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Information on other accounting policies and methods that we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are included, where applicable, in their respective footnotes that follow. Below is a discussion of accounting policies and methods used in our consolidated financial statements that are not presented within other footnotes. |
Consolidation | The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company is party to joint ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are included in Other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated from their respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expense amounts are translated at average rates during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. |
Reclassification | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation. |
Segment | Segment — Reportable segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the CODM to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company defines its CODM to be its chief executive officer. The chief executive officer reviews the financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined it operates and manages its business in a single reportable segment, the development and marketing of computer software and related services. The Company markets its products and services through the Company’s offices in the U.S. and its wholly‑owned branches and subsidiaries internationally. |
Cost of Revenues and Revenues from Contract with Customer | Cost of Revenues — Cost of subscriptions and licenses expenses primarily include headcount‑related costs, as well as depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of capitalized software costs associated with servicing software subscriptions, amortization of intangible assets associated with acquired software and technology, channel partner compensation for providing sales coverage to users, as well as cloud‑related costs incurred for servicing the Company’s customers using cloud provisioned solutions and the Company’s license administration platform. Cost of services expenses primarily include headcount‑related costs, as well as depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of capitalized software costs, used for providing training, implementation, configuration, and customization services to customers. Nature of Products and Services The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generates revenues from subscriptions, perpetual licenses, and services. The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The contract costs are amortized based on the economic life of the goods and services to which the contract costs relate. The Company has determined that costs under certain sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs include the Company’s internal sales force compensation program and certain channel partner sales incentive programs for which the annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities. Subscriptions Enterprise Subscriptions The Company provides enterprise subscription offerings, which provide its enterprise accounts with complete and unlimited global access to the Company’s comprehensive portfolio of solutions. E365 subscriptions require a CSS as described below and are charged to accounts primarily based upon daily usage. The daily usage fee includes a term license component, SELECT maintenance and support, hosting, and Success Blueprints, which are designed to achieve business outcomes through more efficient and effective use of the Company’s software. E365 revenues are recognized based upon usage incurred by the account. Usage is primarily defined as distinct user access on a daily basis. E365 subscriptions can contain quarterly usage floors or collars. The term of E365 subscriptions aligns with calendar quarters and revenue is recognized based on actual usage. Alternatively, enterprise license subscriptions (“ELS”) provide access for a prepaid fee, which is based on the account’s usage of software in the preceding year, to effectively create a fee‑certain consumption‑based arrangement. ELS contain a term license component, SELECT maintenance and support, and performance consulting days. The SELECT maintenance and support benefits under ELS do not include a portfolio balancing performance obligation. Revenue is allocated to the various performance obligations based on their respective SSP. Revenue allocated to the term license component is recognized upon delivery at the start of the subscription term while revenues for the SELECT maintenance and support and the performance consulting days are recognized as delivered over the subscription term. Billings in advance are recorded as Deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets. SELECT Subscriptions The Company provides prepaid annual recurring subscriptions that accounts (which are based on distinct contractual and billing relationships with the Company, where affiliated entities of a single parent company may each have an independent account with the Company) can elect to add to a new or previously purchased perpetual license. SELECT provides accounts with benefits, including upgrades, comprehensive technical support, pooled licensing benefits, annual portfolio balancing exchange rights, learning benefits, certain Azure‑based cloud collaboration services, mobility advantages, and access to other available benefits. SELECT subscriptions revenues are recognized as distinct performance obligations are satisfied. The performance obligations within the SELECT offering, outside of the portfolio balancing exchange right, are concurrently delivered and have the same pattern of recognition. These performance obligations are accounted for ratably over the term as a single performance obligation. Term License Subscriptions The Company provides annual, quarterly, and monthly term licenses for its software products. Term license subscriptions contain a term license component and SELECT maintenance and support. Revenue is allocated to the various performance obligations based on their SSP. Annual term licenses (“ATL”) are generally prepaid annually for named user access to specific products and include the Company’s Virtuoso subscriptions sold via the Company’s Virtuosity eStore for practitioner licenses. Virtuoso subscriptions are bundles with customizable training and expert consultation administered through “keys” or credits. Quarterly term license (“QTL”) subscriptions allow accounts to pay quarterly in arrears for license usage that is beyond their prepaid subscriptions. Monthly term license (“MTL”) subscriptions are identical to QTL subscriptions, except for the term of the license, and the manner in which they are monetized. MTL subscriptions require a CSS, which is described below. For ATL, revenue allocated to the term license component is recognized upon delivery at the start of the subscription term while revenue for the SELECT maintenance and support is recognized as delivered over the subscription term. For Virtuoso keys, revenue is recognized as services are delivered. Billings in advance are recorded as Deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets. For usage‑based QTL and MTL subscriptions, revenues are recognized based upon usage incurred by the account. Usage is defined as peak usage over the respective terms. The terms of QTL and MTL subscriptions align with calendar quarters and calendar months, respectively, and revenue is recognized based on actual usage. Visas are quarterly or annual term licenses enabling users to access specific project or enterprise information and entitles users to certain functionality of the Company’s ProjectWise and AssetWise systems. The Company’s standard offerings are usage based with monetization through the Company’s CSS program as described below. CSS is a program designed to streamline the procurement, administration, and payment process. The program requires an estimation of annual usage for CSS eligible offerings and a deposit of funds in advance. Actual consumption is monitored and invoiced against the deposit on a calendar quarter basis. CSS balances not utilized for eligible products or services may roll over to future periods or are refundable. Paid and unconsumed CSS balances are recorded in Accruals and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Software and services consumed under CSS are recognized pursuant to the applicable revenue recognition guidance for the respective software or service and classified as subscriptions or services based on their respective nature. Perpetual Licenses Perpetual licenses may be sold with or without attaching a SELECT subscription. Historically, attachment and retention of the SELECT subscription has been high given the benefits of the SELECT subscription discussed above. Perpetual licenses revenues are recognized upon delivery of the license to the user. Services The Company provides professional services, including training, implementation, configuration, customization, and strategic consulting services. The Company performs projects on both a time and materials and a fixed fee basis. Certain of the Company’s fixed‑fee arrangements, including its Success Services offerings, are structured as subscription‑like, packaged offerings that are annually recurring in nature. Success Services are standard service offerings that provide a level of dedicated professional services above the standard technical support offered to all accounts as part of their SELECT or enterprise agreement. Revenues are recognized as services are performed. The Company primarily utilizes its direct internal sales force and also has arrangements through independent channel partners to promote and sell its products and subscriptions to end‑users. Channel partners are authorized to promote the sale of an authorized set of the Company’s products and subscriptions within an authorized geography under a Channel Partner Agreement. Significant Judgments and Estimates The Company’s contracts with customers may include promises to transfer licenses (perpetual or term‑based), maintenance, and services to a user. Judgment is required to determine if the promises are separate performance obligations, and if so, the allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation. When an arrangement includes multiple performance obligations which are concurrently delivered and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, the Company accounts for those performance obligations as a single performance obligation. For contracts with more than one performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations in an amount that depicts the relative SSP of each obligation. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the Company does not sell the product or service separately, the Company determines the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. The Company uses a range of amounts to estimate SSP when it sells each of the products and services separately and needs to determine whether there is a discount that should be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services. The Company’s SELECT agreement provides users with perpetual licenses a right to exchange software for other eligible perpetual licenses on an annual basis upon renewal. The Company refers to this option as portfolio balancing and has concluded that the portfolio balancing feature represents a material right resulting in the deferral of the associated revenue. Judgment is required to estimate the percentage of users who may elect to portfolio balance and considers inputs such as historical user elections. This feature is available once per term and must be exercised prior to the respective renewal term. The Company recognizes the associated revenue upon election or when the portfolio balancing right expires. This right is included in the initial and subsequent renewal terms and the Company reestablishes the revenue deferral for the material right upon the beginning of the renewal term. |
Software Development Costs | Software Development Costs — The Company’s software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external accounts, before technological feasibility is reached, are included in Research and development in the consolidated statements of operations. Research and development expenses, which are generally expensed as incurred, primarily consist of headcount‑related costs. In general, technological feasibility is reached shortly before the release of such products. |
Advertising Expense | Advertising Expense |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of money market funds and cash held in checking accounts maintained at various financial institutions. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Accounts receivable primarily represent receivables from customers for products and services invoiced by the Company for which payment is outstanding and also unbilled revenues (see Note 3). Receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for expected losses during the accounts receivable collection process. The allowance for doubtful accounts is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets and reduces the accounts receivable balance to the net realizable value of the outstanding accounts receivable. The development of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an expected loss model which considers historical write‑off and recovery experience, aging trends affecting specific accounts, and general operational factors affecting all accounts. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company considers current economic trends and takes into account reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If circumstances relating to specific customers change or unexpected changes occur in the general business environment, the Company’s estimate of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with financial institutions and invested in money market funds that the Company believes are of high credit quality. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023‑09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023‑09”), which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023‑09 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023‑09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023‑07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023‑07”), which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how the Company’s CODM uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. ASU 2023‑07 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023‑07 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020‑04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020‑04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020‑04 applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022‑06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 , which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting by extending the sunset date of Topic 848 to December 31, 2024. The expedients and exceptions provided by these ASUs do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2024, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2024, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The Company adopted these ASUs during the second quarter of 2023 (see Note 10) and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
Fair Value Measurements | The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three‑level hierarchy, based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset or liability’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, account receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accruals, certain other current and long‑term liabilities, and long‑term debt. Current Assets and Current Liabilities — In general, the carrying amounts reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short‑term nature of those instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022: Acquisition Contingent Consideration — The fair value of these liabilities is generally determined using a cost or income approach and is measured based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of contingent consideration uses assumptions the Company believes would be made by a market participant. Interest Rate Swap — The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap asset or liability is determined using an income approach and is measured based on the implied forward rates for the remaining term of the interest rate swap. The Company considers these valuation inputs to be Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Long-Term Debt Deferred Compensation Plan Liabilities — The fair value of deferred compensation plan liabilities, including the liability classified phantom investments in the DCP, are marked to market at the end of each reporting period. |
