Bentley buys British software firm

14 Jan 15 US-based software giant Bentley Systems has acquired C3global, which has its headquarters in Scotland.

C3global’s Amulet asset management.software will extend the scope of Bentley’s AssetWise platform, which is used for tasks including asset health monitoring, inspection and maintenance. AssetWise Amulet will allow the Bentley software to deliver additional information by applying predictive and prescriptive analytics.

“Advanced analytics helps break down the barriers between operational technology and information technology, facilitating more effective decision making,” said Paula Hollywood, senior analyst, ARC Advisory Group. “Our research shows that the use of advanced analytics can reduce costs, increase efficiency, and drive higher performance.”

C3global CEO David Smith said: “All of us at C3global look forward to working side by side with our new colleagues at Bentley to further advance just-in-time data analysis for improved decision making and, ultimately, enhanced asset performance and owner-operator value. Given the unprecedented convergence of big data from the ‘Internet of Things,’ hybrid computing, and BIM’s advancement of functional engineering models – joining with Bentley to introduce asset performance modeling for industrial-scale infrastructure was absolutely compelling. Moreover, Bentley’s comprehensive portfolio of software for sustaining infrastructure will offer new and exciting opportunities to more broadly apply AssetWise Amulet’s operational analytics capabilities.”

AssetWise Amulet is designed to integrate and analyse ‘big data’ generated by a wide range of external applications and systems, including maintenance and work order management systems. The data can be structured or unstructured and include systems data, photos, video, log books, Microsoft Excel files, event failures, scanned notes, witnessed events, and more.

Once data has been captured and aggregated, the software applies the users’ business rules, models and knowledge to provide an improved view and understanding of operational performance for decision support.
