Bentley Systems, based in Exton, creates comprehensive software solutions for the infrastructure that sustains our world. Last week, Bentley Systems acquired a minority interest in BLUERIDGE Analytics, provider of the breakthrough site design optimization technology called SITEOPS, that uses cloud computing to save time and cost and improves land development.
The SITEOPS application has many customers, including Lowes and Target. The web-based application, is used by civil engineers, real estate developers, and land planners to quickly perform site configuration simulations, produce preliminary cost estimates, optimize site designs, and reduce overall costs.
“We are extremely pleased to have Bentley Systems, a recognized global leader in software for sustaining infrastructure, as our largest shareholder. Bentley’s decision to make a significant investment in our company and help support our ongoing development work validates the tremendous potential of our cloud-based land development technology.”
Mike Detwiler, president and CEO, BLUERIDGE Analytics
Bentley Systems CEO, Greg Bentley, say “Though SITEOPS is still in the early adoption stage, the resourceful team at BLUERIDGE Analytics has more than proven its potential in just a few short years. Already, evolutionary computing applied to land development now sets the new standard for preliminary site design performance. Equally important, the company’s management team has demonstrated a viable cloud computing business model that many of us can learn from and perhaps help extend.”
Bentley plans to add a SITEOPS user community to its Be Communities professional networking site at communities.bentley.com, to facilitate information sharing among SITEOPS and Bentley users.
Founded in 1984, Bentley has almost 3,000 colleagues in more than 45 countries, $500 million in annual revenues, and has invested more than $1 billion in research, development, and acquisitions, since 1999.
