Bentley Infrastructure Cloud
Bentley Infrastructure Cloud is an integrated online application that combines ProjectWise software for project delivery, SYNCHRO for construction management, and AssetWise for asset operations. It provides a unified data environment to improve collaboration.
ProjectWise is information management software used to manage CAD, BIM, geospatial and project data from a variety of vendors. AssetWise is asset lifecycle information management (ALIM) software used to manage project assets including documents, tags, associated metadata, and 3D models. The company's SYNCHRO software is used for 4D construction planning, scheduling, and productivity tracking, for teams on construction sites and in the office.
Asset Analytics
Bentley's Asset Analytics portfolio applies artificial intelligence and digital twin workflows to improve infrastructure monitoring and maintenance. The product integrates data captured with physical devices such as IoT sensors, drones, and dashcams, with digital twins to create a comprehensive view of infrastructure such as bridges, dams, and large transportation networks.
The portfolio includes Blyncsy, AI-powered software that analyzes roadway conditions using image date and machine learning.
Seequent
Bentley's Seequent subsidiary develops and sells 3D modeling and analysis software for the geosciences, mining, civil engineering, and energy industries. Seequent's portfolio includes Leapfrog for 3D geological modeling and visualization, GeoStudio for geotechnical and geoenvironmental analysis, and Geosoft for 3D earth modeling and geoscience data management. Seequent's Evo cloud platform integrates geoscience data from Seequent and third-party applications into one platform.
iTwin Platform
Bentley's iTwin Platform is a cloud-native platform designed to enable digital twin workflows for infrastructure. Digital twins representations allow customers to simulate physical assets such as roads, bridges, and buildings, while integrating engineering models, geospatial data, and enterprise information.
The iTwin platform integrates with 3D Tiles, through Bentley's acquisition of Cesium, the creator of the 3D Tiles community standard. This allows developers to combine 3D geospatial data with digital asset data to create scalable digital twins.
Cesium
Bentley Systems Cesium software is an open platform for building 3D geospatial applications. Cesium also created the 3D Tiles community standard, an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard for streaming large 3D data sets.
In 2025, Bentley started integrating its iTwin Platform with Cesium, beginning with adding iTwin Capture reality modeling services to Cesium. The company also announced 3D tile integration with its MicroStation product.
Operations
Bentley is headquartered in Exton, Pennsylvania. Nicholas Cumins is the company's CEO. The company reports 5,800 employees in 45 countries, and in 2025 reported $1.5 Billion in revenue in 189 countries.
