Helsingor, Denmark Gets Bentley Municipal Licensing
 EXTON,
Pennsylvania, March 2, 2007 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced
that the city of Helsingør, in the north of the Danish island of Sealand,
has joined Bentley’s Municipal License Subscription (MLS) program. The city
will use its new MLS to enhance the services it provides to its more than
60,000 citizens.
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.
Helsingør provides its citizens with a full range of services, including
public works, electric power, district heating, water and wastewater
treatment, public safety, and mapping – among many others. With the help of
Bentley Geo Web Publisher, the city publishes all services-related data on
the Internet and its intranet, providing city staff and the public with easy
access to this information.
As comprehensive as its service offerings are, the city is always looking
for opportunities to enhance them. As Anja Jerow, technical designer for
Helsingør, explained, “We are particularly interested in elevating the level
of our GIS capabilities, offering the entire GIS staff access to Bentley’s
comprehensive portfolio of geospatial software. Acquiring this access the
old-fashioned way, through the purchase of additional licenses, would be far
too costly and would make pilot deployments of additional solutions
prohibitively expensive.”
Jerow continued, “With our MLS, we can deploy any Bentley solution in the
program at no additional charge and, therefore, experiment with new
solutions while maintaining tight control of our budget. Better still,
because our entire organization has access to the software, we can spread
the program’s cost evenly among our departments, simplifying budgeting.
“More importantly, through our new MLS, the needs of our citizens are
better met – a direct result of our ready access to a comprehensive
selection of advanced software. At the same time, future service expansions
or enhancements are easier to plan for since we are no longer hampered by
the budget approval process typically needed to acquire new software for
service upgrades.”
One of the additional Bentley solutions being considered for future
deployment by Helsingør is ProjectWise, a scalable collaboration system for
connecting people and information across the distributed enterprise. Said
Jerow, “We will likely implement ProjectWise for use by the electric power
department. ProjectWise would help streamline our documentation workflows
and improve data exchanges among the Helsingør staff, our subcontractors,
and third-party suppliers.”
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, water, sewer, and storm
- Land development
- E-government
- Light rail design
- Community broadband
- Water and wastewater treatment plant design
- Electric and gas distribution networks
- 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.

About Helsingør
Helsingør is located in the north of the Danish island of Sealand, in the
middle of an area known as “The North’s Riviera.” No matter where you are in
this city of more than 60,000, beaches and forests are close by.
In the spring of 2004, Helsingør City Council adopted a local plan that
paved the way for one of the most significant urban regeneration projects in
the city’s recent history. It will include the development of The Culture
Yard, a new area for cultural activities and institutions to be established
on the city’s former shipyard site, which closed in 1983 after more than a
century of operation. The Culture Yard is an important element of the City
Council’s vision of culture, creativity, and knowledge being the engine that
drives development in Helsingør and the surrounding region.
It will be developed in several stages and eventually become a separate
district in the city, interlinking the city, the harbor, and Kronborg
Castle. The first stage includes Helsingør Central Library, two multipurpose
halls, exhibition galleries, conference facilities, a café, a shipyard
museum, open plan offices, and facilities for associations and an IT, media,
and development workshop. For more information, visit
