ORLANDO, FLA. — Bentley Systems, Inc., acquired Enterprise Informatics, Inc.,  and Exor Corporation  to build its new AssetWise platform, which the company said will combine multiple information modeling services to improve the lifecycle management and operational performance, safety, compliance, and governance of infrastructure assets while increasing the return on investment for owner-operators. Enterprise Informatics’ eB Insight software provides configuration and change management capabilities for mission-critical infrastructure asset operations for the energy, nuclear, rail, and government sectors. Exor information modeling software provides for the management and operations of linear networks for infrastructure, including roads and railways.

“These two acquisitions anchor the next stage in Bentley’s progression as an infrastructure software provider,” CEO Greg Bentley said. “In AssetWise we see a tremendous opportunity —driven by advances in computing and information modeling — to substantially increase owner-operators’ return on investment, furthering our corporate mission of sustaining infrastructure. With AssetWise, our new objective is to empower owner-operators to leverage the value of information modeling throughout operations and maintenance — while maintaining the transactional integrity that their enterprise applications demand.”

eB Insight software captures and models the relationships among both structured and unstructured information critical to infrastructure operations. According to Bentley, its information modeling services are able to capture — beyond “what” — the “why,” “how,” “where,” and “when” about information objects, and can identify what may affect, change, or impact them, or be affected, changed, or impacted. Like Bentley’s ProjectWise, eB Insight fully leverages Microsoft technologies including SharePoint to provide broad user access to asset information.

Exor information modeling software provides for the management and operations of linear networks, including roads, railways, and water networks, as well as all components connected to them. For instance, 60 percent of all roadway miles in the United Kingdom are managed by Exor. The software enables owner-operators to manage multiple networks while relating structures, safety, pavement conditions, permits, and right-of-way information to the network. Exor leverages Oracle’s information technologies, especially Oracle Spatial, to provide an unbreakable and secure data management foundation for mission-critical enterprise solutions.

The Exor worldwide user community includes a number of departments of transportation (DOT) in North America, such as the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Oregon DOT, and the province of British Columbia.
