Bentley Systems partners with Google, acquires Cesium

BENTLEY Systems is set to integrate Google's high-quality 2D and 3D geospatial content into its infrastructure engineering software and digital twin platform after the two have partnered to improve how infrastructure is designed, built and operated.

"By combining Google's extensive geospatial content and cloud capabilities with Bentley's infrastructure engineering software and digital twin platform, infrastructure professionals can improve their work and ensure projects and assets are created and operated with greater resilience and sustainability," said Nicholas Cumins, chief executive at Bentley. "This partnership demonstrates how open standards, such as 3D Tiles, can help infrastructure professionals evolve their practices by leveraging the power of geospatial context."
