China's Chengda Engineering Joins Bentley Power Program
 BEIJING,
China, March 16, 2007 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, today announced that
Chengda Engineering Corporation of China, a leading full-service engineering
corporation specializing in engineering design, has joined Bentley’s Power
Program and has selected the PowerDraft Enterprise subscription option.
Bentley’s Power Program, which was launched less than a year ago and is
available only in China, offers the MicroStation PowerDraft professional
computer-aided drafting and detailing (CADD) product through a
subscription-based model. The PowerDraft Enterprise option is an add-on
service for enterprises that is designed for users with large quantities of
MicroStation PowerDraft licenses. Enterprises receive full technical
support, pooled licenses, single enterprise registration, home licenses, and
tailored on-site training and OnDemand eLearning.
Commenting on the firm’s new five-year PowerDraft Enterprise
subscription, Deng Xiang, deputy chief engineer of Chengda/IT director,
said, “Among the many reasons why we standardized on the MicroStation
PowerDraft solution for our staff of 500 are the ability it provides to read
and write DWG files and its ease of use. Each staff member was trained in
the software’s many features and functionality and became adept in its use
in less than two weeks.
“In addition, Bentley’s Power Program eliminates the administrative
overhead involved in dealing with licenses, upgrades, and the like across
distributed enterprises. As a result, the program makes it possible for us
to confidently base our business on this solution.”
The MicroStation PowerDraft solution will replace Chengda’s AutoCAD 2D
drafting products and be deployed in a variety of projects. Among them will
be chemical as well as oil and gas plant engineering design projects in
China, in other parts of Asia, and in Europe.
MicroStation PowerDraft
MicroStation PowerDraft is professional-level CADD used for 2D/3D
production drafting and detailing. It is the world’s easiest-to-use CADD
product, reads and writes more versions of DGN and DWG than any other CADD
product, and works for plant, building, civil, and geospatial users.
In a recent survey of MicroStation PowerDraft CADD users in China, many
said that their favorite features of MicroStation PowerDraft include its
extensive plotting support, its ability to generate PDF files, its support
for Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications, and its full suite of
referencing tools for both MicroStation reference files and AutoCAD xref
files.
PowerDraft Private Option
The Power Program also includes the PowerDraft Private option, which
offers users and developers in China a first-year subscription to
MicroStation PowerDraft for free; the price for future years is 200 RMB per
year. The software is supplied as a full product (not a demo) in the Chinese
language. It can be downloaded from the Bentley Web site at
www.bentley.com.cn and is also
available on a CD. The subscription includes all updates, email support, and
Web-based OnDemand eLearning.
Because Bentley offers a comprehensive portfolio of software for
infrastructure, PowerDraft Private users and PowerDraft Enterprise
organizations can easily expand their solutions to meet the needs of
distributed enterprises developing major infrastructure.
Partnering with Chinese Developers
The Power Program also offers local software developers a platform for
building local applications. Through this platform and the Bentley Developer
Network (BDN), developers will benefit from Bentley’s success in the region.
Bentley is supporting a number of BDN members in their development efforts.
Recent applications include the Intelligent Electrical Design on PowerDraft
(Promis.e 2007) from ECT China and the TSSD Structure Detailing system for
PowerDraft from TSZ.
Developers from the building, civil, geospatial, and plant verticals are
welcome to join BDN. Members have access to local technical and training
support services, and their users also receive a free year’s subscription to
MicroStation PowerDraft.
Next Steps for Interested Parties
End users can subscribe to MicroStation PowerDraft online at
www.bentley.com.cn. Third-party
developers can join the BDN by contacting Terry Teng at
china.bdn@bentley.com or by
