Port of Long Beach, CA Gets Bentley Enterprise Licensing
EXTON,
PA, Sep 7, 2007 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced that the
Port of Long Beach, California, has joined Bentley’s Enterprise License
Subscription (ELS) and Enterprise Training Subscription (ETS) programs.
“These innovative programs will provide the Port with the breadth of
software and the depth of training required to complete its redevelopment,”
said Michael Kolster, CAD manager for the Port of Long Beach. “In
particular, the ETS will provide users with unlimited OnDemand eLearning and
open enrollment training to help them take full advantage of the
leading-edge software from Bentley.”
Kolster continued, “The ambitious mission that the Port is embarking on
means that we need fast access to both software and training. Bentley offers
the best match to our needs across the geospatial and infrastructure
engineering spectrum and in the training services available to us. Moreover,
we believe that Bentley’s commitment to interoperability and support for
diverse data formats will help us become more efficient and more secure as
we strive to meet the growing requirement for well-documented projects and
operations to improve productivity and support our enhanced security needs.”
The Bentley ELS Program
The Bentley ELS program grants organizations unlimited access to the
entire ELS software portfolio for a fixed annual fee. The portfolio covers
all the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) and geospatial
software needs of subscribers, providing building, plant, civil, and
geospatial solutions and supporting a managed environment for their AEC and
geospatial IT. The total coverage at a fixed, discounted price means that
organizations can increase their software productivity and reduce their
total AEC and geospatial software costs simultaneously.
Said Kolster, “By moving from multiple infrastructure engineering
platforms to Bentley, the Port also is anticipating financial savings on
support and training. In addition, we will be able to avoid the hidden costs
of creating and managing design documents in competing file formats.”
As a strategic benefit, the Bentley ELS helps organizations such as the
Port of Long Beach become more agile. Project starts can happen faster and
teams can reconfigure more quickly for new opportunities. No-charge pilots
allow new technology to be infused into projects more readily. ELS
agreements can include partners, extending the agility and multiplying the
benefits in global projects.
The Bentley ETS Program
The Bentley ETS program from the Bentley Institute offers user
organizations convenient, unlimited training on Bentley software products
for a fixed annual fee. Courses cover products offered for all AEC
disciplines in building, civil, plant, and geospatial.
As a better way to keep professionals well trained, a Bentley ETS can
increase productivity and profits, help retain employees, improve
collaboration with partners, and enhance business agility. Moreover,
unlimited access to courses maximizes training opportunities.
Streamlined Administration and Simplified Budgeting
By providing unlimited access to AEC and geospatial software (in the case
of the Bentley ELS) and training (in the case of the Bentley ETS), the two
programs streamline administration. In addition, their annual terms simplify
budgeting and accounting.
