Bentley acquires C3global's Amulet operational analytics

DUBAI, January 16, 2015

Bentley Systems, a leading company dedicated to providing comprehensive software solutions for sustaining infrastructure, has acquired UK-based C3global, provider of web-based Amulet software for operational analytics.

Bentley’s AssetWise platform, which serves configuration management, asset health monitoring, inspection, maintenance, and compliance for infrastructure assets, can now deliver additional actionable insights as asset performance management is extended, through AssetWise Amulet, for asset performance modeling.

AssetWise Amulet offers value in applying predictive and prescriptive analytics that are easily configurable at industrial scale to leverage just-in-time data for improved operational efficiencies.

Gartner has recognised C3global as part of the industrial analytics transformation helping digital businesses. Among the many infrastructure owner-operators benefiting from Amulet operational analytics are water utilities, oil and gas, and power transmission grids.

User organisations include Babcock, BP, Chevron, Danfoss, Emerson, MWH, National Grid, South Australian Water, and Total.

Paula Hollywood, senior analyst, ARC Advisory Group, said: “Advanced analytics helps break down the barriers between operational technology and information technology, facilitating more effective decision making. Our research shows that the use of advanced analytics can reduce costs, increase efficiency, and drive higher performance.

“The acquisition of C3global by Bentley Systems is a leading indicator of industrial-scale progress being made to help organisations optimise asset performance and achieve business goals.”

Greg Bentley, chief executive officer of Bentley, said: “On behalf of all my colleagues at Bentley, I welcome the C3global team to Bentley Systems, including co-founder and director Dr Neil Rothwell, co-founder and director Pete Kelly, and CEO David Smith.

“Our acquisition of Amulet enables another cumulative BIM advancement – beyond leveraging design modeling, construction modeling, and reality modeling – for enhancing infrastructure asset performance. With our AssetWise APM offering, we already provide comprehensive solutions for reliability-centered maintenance and risk-based inspection.

“By configuring Amulet’s proven, industrial-strength operational analytics with our market-leading engineering analysis portfolio, optioneering can be extended through asset performance modeling for just-in-time operational decisions, which can now predictively consider, beyond engineering, the relevant environmental and economic context.”

AssetWise Amulet can be readily configured to build sophisticated applications tailored to infrastructure operations needs without having to know a programming language. It bridges the gap between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT), enabling advanced analytics to be an integral part of all aspects of the business process.

Through AssetWise Amulet’s interactive and easily configurable operational dashboards, owner-operators are provided with the context they need to be confident in their decisions and are afforded an easy method of measuring and managing the outcomes.

AssetWise Amulet has been designed to integrate and analyse “big data” generated by a wide range of external applications and systems – from SQL or Oracle databases to enterprise data warehouses, industrial data historians, and control systems, as well as maintenance and work order management systems.

The data can be structured or unstructured and include systems data, photos, video, log books, Microsoft Excel files, event failures, scanned notes and witnessed events. - TradeArabia News Service
