Greg Bentley, CEO of Bentley Systems has called 2023 a “groundbreaking year” for infrastructure intelligence and revealed the time savings that companies are seeing through digital advancements.

Speaking at the company’s annual Year in Infrastructure conference event in Singapore, Bentley spoke about the time savings seen by its Going Digital Awards finalists.

“The median for those that we can calculate is 18%. Think of the potential that there is from propagating their advancements by covering them and promoting them and encouraging others in the world to follow suit. That’s the opportunity and the responsibility that we have,” he commented.

Bentley highlighted multiple infrastructure intelligence strategies that organisations are using to further compound the value of their data, including reusing digital components, integrating subsurface modelling, and incorporating into evergreen digital twins operational data from IoT sensors and drones. He also highlighted the use – and vast potential – of artificial intelligence.

The company also announced a raft of changes to its executive team, with Kristin Fallon joining Bentley as Chief Marketing Officer – Fallon succeeds Chris Bradshaw who takes on the newly created role of Chief Sustainability Officer.

Colin Ellam joins as Chief Executive Officer of Cohesive, Bentley’s digital integrator business, based in the United Kingdom and Oliver Conze joins as Senior Vice President, Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, based in Germany.
