Bentley Systems, Incorporated (Nasdaq: BSY), the infrastructure engineering software company, has introduced Bentley Infrastructure Cloud Connect, a new foundational layer of Bentley Infrastructure Cloud. Connect creates a connected data environment and unified experience for infrastructure professionals, enhancing collaboration across the project and asset lifecycle. 

 “Infrastructure data lives everywhere—in models, PDFs, inspection forms, photos, IoT sensors, and more—and it’s rarely connected,” said Julien Moutte, chief technology officer, Bentley Systems. “That changes with Bentley Infrastructure Cloud Connect. Infrastructure professionals can access and manage all project and asset data in one place—fully contextualised and connected—from design through construction to operations.” 

Connect enables users to view entire portfolios in full geospatial context, delve into project and asset details, collaborate, track progress, and identify issues—all in one interface. 

Andy Kaiyala, vice president of Digital Construction Management (DCM) at WSB, an early adopter, said, “Bentley Infrastructure Cloud’s unified environment helps our project stakeholders quickly and clearly understand the impact of design decisions during constructability reviews. With curated views of 72 projects now accessible to over 900 external stakeholders from 86 organisations, it’s become a key differentiator for us—helping project teams avoid costly missteps and save millions in potential rework.” 

Connect provides a secure, open, and scalable environment for engineering services firms, construction companies, and owner-operators to manage infrastructure files and data. Built on Bentley’s iTwin platform, it supports over 50 file formats and integrates with enterprise systems, unifying engineering, operational, enterprise, geospatial, and subsurface data into digital twins of real-world assets. 

 With Connect, users can share files, capture feedback, manage deliverables, and coordinate with clients and partners seamlessly. It supports both file-based and data-centric workflows, featuring a unified web interface with Bentley’s Cesium 3D geospatial technology and a mobile app for on-the-go access. 

Connect will serve as the new entry point to Bentley Infrastructure Cloud. Users can upgrade to ProjectWise for advanced design and construction workflows or AssetWise for asset operations and maintenance. The platform will be generally available in December 2025.
