Description: BSY Bentley Systems December 19, 2025
Bentley Systems (NASDAQ:BSY) develops and sells a broad portfolio of infrastructure engineering software used across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Its flagship desktop tools include MicroStation and a suite of “Open” applications that cover civil, structural, geotechnical, rail, road, plant, and utility design, while its simulation products (e.g., ADINA, STAAD, PLATT) support analysis of everything from fluid flow to structural dynamics.
The company’s cloud-based offerings-ProjectWise, SYNCHRO, AssetWise, and the iTwin platform (iTwin Capture, Experience, and IoT)-enable the creation of 4D/5D digital twins that integrate design, construction, and operations data in a single, searchable model. These solutions target a wide user base that includes engineers, architects, planners, contractors, fabricators, and O&M professionals.
From a financial standpoint, Bentley reported FY 2024 revenue of approximately $1.05 billion, with subscription-based recurring revenue (RR) growing at ~12% YoY, reflecting a broader industry shift toward SaaS licensing. The global market for infrastructure digital-twin and BIM software is projected to expand at a CAGR of 13% through 2030, driven by rising public-sector investment in resilient infrastructure and tighter regulatory demands for lifecycle asset management.
Key economic drivers for Bentley include: (1) the U.S. federal infrastructure bill, which is expected to inject $1.2 trillion into transportation and water projects over the next decade; (2) accelerating adoption of cloud-native engineering workflows that reduce on-premise IT costs; and (3) increasing demand for sustainability-focused design tools as ESG reporting becomes mandatory for large-scale projects.
