Bentley Systems, the infrastructure engineering software company, has acquired Talon Aerolytics and the technology and technical expertise of Pointivo.
These acquisitions strengthen Bentley’s Asset Analytics portfolio with a revenue run rate of about US$50m, applying digital twins and AI to help owner-operators improve asset performance and resilience across infrastructure sectors.
According to Bentley Systems CFO Werner Andre, the platform consolidation investments are bolstering long-term double-digit growth in ARR, subscription revenues, and cash flows.
“These 2025 acquisitions underscore our ongoing capital allocation priority in Asset Analytics, catalysing growth opportunities driven by AI within infrastructure operations and maintenance (O&M),” he added.
Bentley Asset Analytics includes OpenTower iQ for telecommunication towers and Blyncsy for road networks. The new acquisitions extend Bentley’s offerings in both telecommunications and electric utilities, enabling integrated digital workflows that support global 5G deployments and grid modernisation.
As next-gen networks and electrification imperatives drive demand, these capabilities are said to empower infrastructure owners to digitise, analyse, and optimise assets at scale.
Talon provides solutions for site surveys, inspections, and asset digitisation across wireless telecom, broadband, and electric utilities. Its platform combines workflow automation, digital twins, and AI, enabling organisations to improve productivity for recurring tasks and inspections and gain insights into ongoing asset conditions.
Talon user Klaus Metnitzer, head of deploy execution excellence and serviceability for North America at Nokia, said, “Our collaboration with Talon, leveraging their asset inspection and data intelligence capabilities alongside Nokia’s mobile network engineering and leadership, strengthens this critical foundation.
Talon’s integration with Bentley further enhances our innovation together across infrastructure management workflows to support an integrated grid ranging from towers to distribution poles.”
Additionally, acquiring Pointivo’s technologies — including its intellectual property and technical expertise — provides horizontal capabilities for Bentley Asset Analytics spanning drone data processing, AI-powered damage detection, and geolocation.
James Lee, COO, Bentley Systems, added, “Talon pioneered this business model, validated by its profitable growth and pipeline of enterprise-wide contracts. This move marks a milestone, adding to our technical and business momentum and strengthening our leadership in the burgeoning market of Asset Analytics.”
