Accruent, a leading provider of software and services that enable organizations to manage the full lifecycle of their physical resources, has acquired Amsterdam-based BlueCielo, a global advanced Asset Lifecycle Information Management (ALIM) provider.

BlueCielo’s Meridian solutions manage engineering information throughout asset lifecycles; connecting maintenance with engineering, supporting concurrent engineering for facility modifications, and improving data handover. More than 1,200 companies around the world depend upon BlueCielo Meridian solutions to ensure compliance, control costs, improve safety, protect their brand reputation and extend the lifespans of decades-old assets.

The BlueCielo acquisition is the latest in a series of strategic acquisitions fueling Accruent’s growth. Successive acquisitions of strong, growth-oriented companies, with complementary products and global presence, has resulted in scale, world-class support and depth and breadth of solutions that is unrivalled. Recent acquisitions include Lucernex, a leading global provider of Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS); and Verisae, a leading provider of cloud-based solutions that connect facilities and assets to the maintenance and service network through the Internet of Things (IoT).

The acquisition, effective immediately, includes the continuation of all existing BlueCielo product development, support, sales and channel resources. BlueCielo customers and business partners will be provided with a series of communications on relevant aspects of any changes, and will be invited to Accruent’s annual INSIGHTS conference, April 8-11, 2018 in Austin, Texas. BlueCielo partners and colleagues will learn more at BlueCielo’s annual Synergy conference, January 15-18, 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal.
