City of Magdeburg, Germany Gets Bentley Municipal Licensing
 EXTON,
PA, Sep 20, 2007 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced that the
city of Magdeburg, Germany, has joined Bentley’s Municipal License
Subscription (MLS) program. The city will use its new MLS to further expand
services to its almost 230,000 citizens – highlighted by enhanced city
planning data and a wider variety of thematic maps on Magdeburg’s public Web
portal. All of this is made possible through the city’s deployment of
Bentley solutions for local governments.
Bentley’s MLS offers municipalities all the software they need to design
and manage all their infrastructure for a fixed annual fee based on
population. The breakthrough program enables them to improve productivity
and reduce administrative costs by outfitting their entire mapping and
engineering organizations with fully integrated software for GIS and
engineering workflows. This leads to improved services and more efficient
government.
Said Udo Seipold, project manager, Internet/GIS Team of KID Magdeburg,
the city’s outsourced IT department, “Magdeburg has long relied on a number
of Bentley’s products and solutions for its infrastructure design and
management needs. MicroStation, ProjectWise InterPlot, Bentley Geo Web
Publisher, Bentley Descartes, Bentley I/RAS B, and InRoads are all
critically important to the city’s departments for everything from preparing
data for Web services to land-use planning, plotting maps, road cadastre,
city park maintenance, and the list goes on.
“As you can imagine, the administrative work involved in managing all
that software for all those tasks was quite demanding. Someone had to
constantly check to see which staff members were using what licenses and
then juggle priorities if requests for new deployments exceeded available
licenses. And anyone looking to purchase new software could wait a year or
more for budgetary approval.”
Continued Seipold, “With our new MLS, all of these problems have
disappeared. Licenses are immediately available to meet staff members’ needs
– no matter how many licenses are already in use. And beyond the initial
budget approval for the program, no signatures are needed to acquire
additional software applications.”
Bentley’s MLS program provides municipalities with unlimited access to a
comprehensive portfolio of integrated GIS and engineering software for all
of their infrastructure, including:
Public works – roads, bridges, potable water, wastewater, and storm water
infrastructure Land development E-government Light rail design Community
broadband Electric and gas network design Water and wastewater treatment
plant design Urban planning Cadastre management Public safety Municipal
building design Mapping and 3D modeling Because program fees are fixed,
Bentley’s MLS guarantees predictable software costs and budgeting. In
addition, it removes the administrative burden of complex software licenses,
shortens procurement cycles, speeds project starts, and ultimately leads to
more efficient government.
Added Seipold, “Our ability to acquire additional software applications
without paying more money makes it very easy for us to try out new
solutions. It means that we have everything to gain and virtually nothing to
lose from a pilot application. As a result, Magdeburg already has a number
of new deployments queued up, including two new InRoads seats, speedikon
products for some of our architectural needs, 10 additional Bentley Geo Web
Publisher seats, some Bentley PowerMap Field licenses for data processing in
the field, as well as MicroStation TriForma and InRoads Suite.”

About the City of Magdeburg
With 1200 years of rich and colorful history, Magdeburg is one of the
oldest cities in the new Länder of the former East Germany. There are only a
few cities in Central Europe that compare to Magdeburg in terms of its
eventful historical past. Magdeburg was once an imperial palatinate, a
member of the Hanseatic League, and a Prussian fortress marked by
unimaginable war and destruction.
However, Magdeburg allowed the currents of time to take it into a new
future full of possibilities. The city was reconstructed and a particular
importance was attached to the maintenance, care, and preservation of its
cultural legacy. Today, Magedeburg is a cosmopolitan city of almost 230,000
citizens that provides a wide selection of cultural venues, including many
fine museums, theaters, and galleries—from the Cultural History Museum to
the Museum of Technology, the Millennium Tower in the Elbauenpark, the
Puppet Theatre, and a host of others. For more information, go to
