Bentley Systems acquires Talon Aerolytics and Pointivo
These aquisitions will help augment their Asset Analytics portfolio which will improve asset performance and resilience across infrastructure sectors
Bentley Systems has announced the acquisitions of Talon Aerolytics and Pointivo. These aquisitions, completed in December 2025 are said to strengthen Bentley’s Asset Analytics portfolio, that comprises digital twin technologies and AI. These help owner-operators improve asset performance and resilience across infrastructure sectors.
Bentley Asset Analytics includes OpenTowerIQ for telecommunication towers and Blyncsy for road networks. These acquisitions extend Bentley’s offerings in both telecommunications and electric utilities, enabling integrated digital workflows that support global 5G deployments and grid modernisation. As next-generation networks and electrification imperatives drive demand, these capabilities empower infrastructure owners to digitise, analyse, and optimise assets at scale.
Talon provides solutions for site surveys, inspections, and asset digitisation across wireless telecom, broadband, and electric utilities. Its platform combines workflow automation, digital twins, and AI, enabling organisations to improve productivity for recurring tasks and inspections and gain insights into ongoing asset conditions.
“Over the past decade, Talon has established itself as a trusted intelligent collaboration platform for managing asset lifecycles and analysing 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,” says Rod Dir, CEO of Talon.
Klaus Metnitzer, Head of Deploy Execution Excellence and Serviceability for North America at Nokia notes, “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,” concludes Metnitzer.
The acquisition of Pointivo’s technologies, including its intellectual property and technical expertise, provides additional horizontal capabilities for Bentley Asset Analytics, spanning drone data processing, AI-powered damage detection, and geolocation. These capabilities will further strengthen and differentiate Bentley’s platform for AI-powered insights.
Jacob Garland, Pointivo CTO remarks, “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,” he adds.
James Lee, COO, Bentley Systems continues, “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,” adds Lee.
Werner Andre, CFO, Bentley Systems remarks, “These 2025 acquisitions substantially underscore our ongoing capital allocation priority in Asset Analytics, catalysing significant growth opportunities driven by AI within infrastructure operations and maintenance.”
“With a revenue of approximately $50mn in Asset Analytics, our platform consolidation investments are bolstering long-term double-digit growth in ARR, subscription revenues, and cash flows,” concludes Andre.
