Bentley Announces 2007 BE Awards of Excellence Winners
 LOS
ANGELES (BE Conference 2007), May 2, 2007 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced
the winners of the 2007 BE Awards of Excellence, which honor the
extraordinary work of Bentley users improving the world’s infrastructure.
Thirty-one projects in the professional portion of the program received
BE Awards during the BE Conference in Los Angeles. These projects set
benchmarks and showcase the imagination and technical mastery of the
organizations that created them. In the academic portion of the program, BE
Awards went to the Educator of the Year and to the top four student designs.
The winners were announced last night during a dinner and ceremony hosted
by Peter Sagal of the National Public Radio program “Wait Wait... Don’t Tell
Me!,” and co-sponsored by McGraw-Hill Construction, publisher of Engineering
News-Record. The independent panel of BE Awards jurors, which included
accomplished Bentley users and distinguished industry experts, selected the
winning projects from more than 280 nominations.
“Honoring the recipients of our BE Awards of Excellence and their
wonderfully innovative work is something I look forward to every year,” said
CEO Greg Bentley. “It is a privilege and a pleasure to recognize so much
talent and so many projects that will have a positive impact on the world
community for generations. On behalf of all my colleagues at Bentley, I
heartily congratulate the winners and acknowledge the exceptional quality of
all of the nominations.”
Mr. Bentley continued, “During his keynote address, Bentley COO Malcolm
Walter announced the winners of a special new category of BE Awards – ‘Best
Return on Innovation’ – personally selected this year by Malcolm based on
ROI data supplied by each of the nominees. The winners included: Bechtel,
Dutch Ministry of Finance, GHAFARI Associates, and Kentucky Transportation
Cabinet.
“These organizations are not only improving the world’s infrastructure
with award-winning projects, but they are also realizing substantial returns
for their investments in innovation. Again, on behalf of Bentley colleagues
around the globe, I offer my congratulations to each of these organizations
on both accomplishments.”
