Bentley Systems has achieved FedRAMP authorisation for its ProjectWise and OpenGround platforms, enabling US federal agencies to adopt secure, cloud-based tools for infrastructure project delivery, including water and environmental systems.
The milestone supports the wider modernisation of ageing infrastructure across the United States, providing agencies with compliant digital solutions to manage complex projects more efficiently and securely.
FedRAMP infrastructure digital delivery for water and environmental systems
FedRAMP infrastructure digital delivery enables government agencies to deploy cloud technologies that meet strict security and compliance requirements.
With authorisation at the Moderate Impact Level, Bentley’s ProjectWise and OpenGround platforms can now be used across federal programmes, supporting data management, geotechnical analysis and project collaboration in sectors including water, wastewater and environmental management.
These tools provide a connected digital environment, allowing project teams to integrate surface and subsurface data, improve coordination and reduce risk throughout the infrastructure lifecycle.
Supporting digital transformation in infrastructure management
As utilities and public agencies face increasing pressure to upgrade ageing systems, digital technologies are becoming central to improving efficiency, resilience and transparency.
Cloud-based platforms such as ProjectWise enable secure data sharing between stakeholders, while OpenGround supports real-time geotechnical insights, helping teams make informed decisions during design and construction.
These capabilities also support the adoption of emerging approaches such as digital twins, AI-driven analytics and connected construction workflows.
Secure collaboration for large-scale infrastructure programmes
The FedRAMP programme provides a standardised framework for evaluating the security of cloud services used by US government agencies.
By meeting these requirements, infrastructure software providers can support federal programmes with tools that enable secure collaboration across multiple agencies and contractors.
This is particularly important for large-scale infrastructure initiatives, where data integrity and interoperability are critical to project success.
Further details on the platforms can be found via Bentley Systems, including ProjectWise and OpenGround. FedRAMP listing details are available via the FedRAMP Marketplace.
