Leading
Software for Infrastructure Requirements Management to be Expanded
through a Connected Data Environment for Infrastructure Project Delivery
and Asset Performance
Bangalore, December 13, 2016: –
The Year in Infrastructure 2016 Conference – 2 November 2016 – Bentley
Systems, Incorporated, a leading global provider of comprehensive
software solutions for advancing infrastructure, today announced that it
has acquired the assets, colleagues, and services underlying ComplyPro,
leading provider of UK-based managed services for requirements
management of infrastructure capital projects. The new ComplyPro team at
Bentley Systems will be led by its founder, Chris Rolison. Development
of software and services will continue in Birmingham, UK, and sales
activities will be merged into Bentley Systems’ offices worldwide.
Existing ComplyPro users can be confident of continuously broadened
functionality, with progressive assurance a valuable new capability
within the Connected Data Environment shared by Bentley’s ProjectWise
and AssetWise offerings.
Chris
Rolison launched ComplyPro in 2005 and brings to Bentley Systems
decades of experience in improving project assurance and compliance
functions. In addition to his ComplyPro responsibilities, Chris is
joining Bentley’s OpenRail Task Force to help bring to digital railway
programs progressive assurance benefits, from systems-engineering-based
conception through operations. ComplyPro users will benefit from the
expanded scope of resources and integration across CAPEX and now
additionally OPEX asset lifecycles. About the acquisition, Comply Serve
founder Chris Rolison, said, “My ComplyPro colleagues and I are excited
to join Bentley Systems. I have long regarded Bentley’s comprehensive
approach to software provision for advancing infrastructure to be where
the potential for progressive assurance can be most effectively and
timely realized.”
Bhupinder
Singh, Bentley’s chief product officer, said, “Users we share with
ComplyPro, such as Crossrail, have stressed to us the potential benefits
to asset program owners that could result from the integration of their
requirements management and compliance management functions within
Bentley’s project delivery and asset performance solutions. Now we can
continue to learn from the cumulative and ongoing experience of existing
ComplyPro users, as they further apply cloud services across their
TOTEX lifecycles. As AssetWise CONNECT Edition now joins ProjectWise
CONNECT Edition, this provides the ideal opportunity for us to implement
the full scope of progressive assurance advancing, through digital
engineering models, to asset performance modeling. We welcome Chris
Rolison and our new colleagues from ComplyPro to contribute to the
continuous realization of this new BIM advancement for our Connected
Data Environment.”
