Bentley Systems

Bentley Systems, Incorporated is an American-based software development company that provides comprehensive software solutions for the design, construction, and operation of infrastructure worldwide. Founded in 1984 by Keith A. Bentley and Barry J. Bentley, the company has a long history of innovation, initially allowing users of Intergraph's VAX systems to utilize more cost-effective terminals for viewing and modifying designs. Their first commercial product, PseudoStation, was introduced in 1985, followed by a DOS-based version of MicroStation in 1986. Over the decades, Bentley Systems has grown significantly, both organically and through strategic acquisitions, to become a leading provider in the architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) and operations markets. The company's software serves a wide array of sectors including roadways, railways, bridges, buildings, industrial plants, power plants, and utility networks.

Headquartered in Exton, Pennsylvania, U.S., Bentley Systems has a global presence with development, sales, and other departments in over 50 countries, and its solutions are used in more than 194 countries. The company generates annual revenues of over $1 billion and employs approximately 5,200 colleagues. Bentley Systems is committed to advancing the world's infrastructure and invests significantly in research and development, reinvesting 20% of its revenues in this area. Their core software product lines include MicroStation, ProjectWise, and AssetWise, and since 2014, some products have been based on the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform. The company's offerings are powered by the iTwin Platform for infrastructure digital twins, which enables collaborative tools for project management and decision-making. Bentley Systems became a publicly traded company in 2020. The company continues to expand its portfolio through acquisitions and partnerships, such as the recent acquisition of Cesium GS, Inc. and a strategic partnership with Google.
