Bentley Ecosystem Catalog
Bentley Systems launched the Bentley Ecosystem Catalog to connect users with third-party solutions that enhance infrastructure workflows, including apps, plugins, data, and services.
The Bentley Ecosystem Catalog serves as a centralized platform where users can explore and adopt complementary solutions from independent providers to support infrastructure engineering tasks. The catalog includes applications, plugins, datasets, data capture tools, and professional services designed to work alongside Bentley software. Providers can submit their offerings through a structured form to ensure alignment with Bentley’s technology ecosystem. The initiative aims to address the growing complexity of infrastructure projects by fostering collaboration and integration across diverse tools and data sources.
Bentley Systems highlights the importance of openness, interoperability, and co-innovation in enabling asset analytics and artificial intelligence applications within infrastructure workflows. James Lee, chief operating officer, and Tom Kurke, vice president of Ecosystem and Ventures, emphasize how the catalog connects trusted providers to accelerate project outcomes. The platform is positioned as a resource for users seeking reliable extensions to Bentley solutions, with a focus on streamlining processes, reducing risks, and improving team collaboration throughout project lifecycles.
The catalog also includes solutions tailored to sustainability goals, offering users access to environmentally-focused technologies, data, and services. Bentley Systems states that these tools can help organizations measure and achieve measurable sustainability impacts in infrastructure projects. Providers in the catalog can offer specialized solutions for designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining sustainable infrastructure, aligning with industry demands for greener practices.
To participate, solution providers must complete a submission form detailing their offering’s compatibility with Bentley software, its intended use case, and the provider’s motivation for joining the ecosystem. The form ensures that only relevant and well-aligned solutions are included, maintaining the catalog’s focus on practical utility. Bentley Systems describes this process as a way to curate a high-quality directory of complementary tools that enhance the capabilities of its core infrastructure solutions.
