Case Study: Bentley Systems achieves cloud-first identity and 1,000+ application migration with Ping Identity

Bentley Systems Future-proofs Their Digital Business with Cloud-first Identity Management

Bentley Systems, a global leader in infrastructure engineering software, needed a future-proof, cloud-first identity layer to accelerate delivery of digital infrastructure applications while meeting evolving data residency and compliance requirements. The company faced the dual challenge of modernizing identity infrastructure and ensuring business continuity across an extensive install base of legacy applications, federations and growing cloud iTwin-enabled services around the world.

Bentley selected the Ping Intelligent Identity platform (PingFederate, PingAccess, PingDirectory, PingDataGovernance and PingID) delivered and managed by ProofID, using a modular, standards-based architecture to mirror legacy environments where needed. The big‑bang cloud migration moved more than 1,000 applications—including 230+ federations and 300+ OIDC apps—resulting in faster product integration, centralized protection for web, mobile and APIs, streamlined user onboarding, more personalized experiences and improved support for the company’s digital twin strategy.
