EXTON, PA, Jan 6, 2026 – Bentley Systems has acquired Talon Aerolytics and the technical expertise of Pointivo, expanding its asset analytics capabilities for infrastructure management. The additions support digital twin and AI tools used to monitor asset performance, manage inspections, and plan maintenance across infrastructure sectors.
Bentley uses OpenTower iQ for telecommunications towers and Blyncsy for road networks within its asset analytics portfolio. The acquisitions expand coverage across telecommunications and electric utilities, supporting digital workflows for 5G networks and grid modernization. The tools enable asset owners to manage infrastructure portfolios with consistent data and analytics.
Talon’s platform supports site surveys, inspections, and asset digitization across wireless telecom, broadband, and electric utilities. Its platform combines workflow automation, digital twins, and AI to manage recurring tasks and analyze asset conditions over time.
Rod Dir, chief executive officer of Talon, said, “Over the past decade, Talon has established itself as a trusted intelligent collaboration platform for managing asset lifecycles and analyzing infrastructure with our AI-enabled software. By joining Bentley Systems, we are poised to expand our global reach and enhance asset resilience through the integration of Bentley’s advanced engineering simulation capabilities.”
Talon user Klaus Metnitzer, head of deploy execution excellence and serviceability for North America at Nokia, commented, “At Nokia, delivering reliable and resilient networks for our customers and the communities they serve is a top priority. Our collaboration with Talon, leveraging their asset inspection and data intelligence capabilities alongside Nokia’s mobile network engineering and leadership, significantly strengthens this critical foundation. Together, these solutions empower our customers to manage their infrastructure more efficiently, respond rapidly to challenges, and ensure continuous connectivity when it matters most. 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.”
Pointivo’s intellectual property and technical expertise add drone data processing, AI-based damage detection, and geolocation capabilities to Bentley Asset Analytics, supporting AI-driven analysis across infrastructure assets.
Jacob Garland, Pointivo chief technology officer, added, “Our patented AI-driven inventory and damage detection technology was built to turn vast volumes of unstructured visual data into precise, trustworthy insights. Our team of experts has been at the forefront of advanced point-cloud processing, automated measurement and asset condition detection, and high-fidelity drone capture, all capabilities that naturally complement Bentley’s portfolio, including OpenTower iQ. Now as part of Bentley, our innovations will enable faster, more accurate intelligence at scale, helping asset owners and operators to detect issues earlier and keep critical infrastructure performing at its best.”
James Lee, chief operating officer, Bentley Systems, said, “These acquisitions represent a major investment in scaling our Bentley Asset Analytics offering. By deploying AI across infrastructure sectors, we are enabling continuous inspections to improve operational performance and maintenance economics for asset owners. Talon effectively pioneered this business model, validated by its profitable growth and pipeline of enterprise-wide contracts. This move marks an important milestone, adding to our technical and business momentum and strengthening our leadership in the burgeoning market of Asset Analytics.”
Werner Andre, chief financial officer, Bentley Systems, said, “These 2025 acquisitions substantially underscore our ongoing capital allocation priority in Asset Analytics, catalyzing significant growth opportunities driven by AI within infrastructure operations and maintenance. With a revenue run rate of approximately $50 million in Asset Analytics, our platform consolidation investments are bolstering long-term double-digit growth in ARR, subscription revenues, and cash flows.”
