Integrating Cloud-based Geoscientific Imagery
Platform with Geology Data Management and Modeling Tools, Helping
Solve Earth, Environment, and Energy Challenges
Bentley Systems, Incorporated
(Nasdaq: BSY), the infrastructure engineering software company,
today announced that its Seequent business unit has acquired Imago
Inc, a developer of cloud-based software for the capture and
management of geoscientific imagery. The acquisition will expand
Seequent’s technology solutions portfolio while boosting cloud
capabilities to help geoscientists and engineers solve earth,
environment, and energy challenges.

Imago’s cloud-based platform enables the capture, cataloguing,
and review of drilling core and chip images from any source, to
support every aspect of the geological process from exploration to
grade control. Continued development of Imago’s machine learning
will lead to a step function in the interpretation of geological
data.
Mining companies around the world apply Imago’s solution in
conjunction with geology data management and modeling tools to
enable teams to make more confident, profitable decisions using
instantly available, high-quality images. Seequent already
integrates its Leapfrog, Oasis montaj, Target, and Minalytix MX
Deposit with Imago’s solution, making it easy for geologists,
engineers, and other stakeholders to extract knowledge and learn
from geoscientific imagery. The goal is to unlock significant
potential for mining and other industries, transforming image data
into meaningful insights for geological activities.
Graham Grant, chief executive officer of Seequent, said, “It’s
an exciting step to welcome the Imago team on board to help advance
Seequent’s progression into the cloud. We’re continually exploring
ways to provide new technologies and solutions to solve workflow
challenges, improve operational efficiency, and deliver greater
value for our users who are working to solve some of the world’s
major civil, environmental, and energy challenges. This acquisition
demonstrates Seequent’s continued growth and our commitment to make
a positive contribution to the industries we serve globally.”
Imago’s co-founder Federico Arboleda said, “As a small team in
Phoenix and Perth, we’re excited to join forces with Seequent, as
this will now allow us to substantially scale Imago’s solutions in
mining and other markets. We founded Imago to help mining companies
manage the high volume and size of geological images and unlock the
great value in this geoscience imagery. Image data is an
increasingly important source of data across the geosciences—and
can come from potentially any source, including core photos,
hyperspectral, aerial photos, drones, and handheld devices. It will
become even more important to transform image data into knowledge
as automation needs increase.”
