Bentley Acquires South Korea's 9SQ, Maker of PlantWAVE
 CHARLOTTE,
NC, Oct 13, 2009 – Be Inspired: Infrastructure Best Practices Symposium
and Awards – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company
dedicated to providing comprehensive software solutions for the
infrastructure that sustains our world, today announced at this
invitation-only gathering of top Bentley users that it has acquired 9SQ
Corporation, a leading provider of integration services and plant design
software based in South Korea. Through this acquisition Bentley extends its
ability to fully support users of plant design software in Korea and the
surrounding region and adds PlantWAVE software to its portfolio. With
PlantWAVE, users can streamline the production and delivery of 2D
orthographic general arrangement (GA) drawings for process, power, offshore,
and marine industry applications from 3D design models created using
AutoPLANT, PlantSpace, PDS, and PDMS. Among the many
engineering/procurement/construction contractors and owner-operators in
Korea and North America that 9SQ serves are Daelim Industrial, Daewoo
Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, GS E&C, Hyundai Engineering, Hyundai
Heavy Industries, Samsung Engineering Co., LTD., Toyo Engineering Korea, and
WorleyParsons.
“On behalf of Bentley, I welcome all PlantWAVE users to the Bentley user
community,” said Dr. Jean-Baptiste Monnier, senior vice president, Bentley
Asia-Pacific. “They include a number of PDS and PDMS users who are
delivering higher quality projects and running more efficient and profitable
organizations by taking advantage of PlantWAVE’s ability to save time and
increase productivity.”
He continued, “I also welcome our new 9SQ colleagues to the Bentley team.
They bring with them invaluable plant design expertise and experience
employing knowledge-based engineering methodologies that enable them to
consistently exceed user expectations. In addition, the PlantWAVE product
line they have developed further extends Bentley’s wide range of plant
design offerings.”
Chang Hoon Lee, former president of 9SQ who was just named Bentley
technical director in Korea, said, “We are pleased to be a part of Bentley’s
global organization. The breadth and depth of its portfolio will enable us
to better serve the needs of our clients and further enhance the efficiency
of their workflows.” In his new position at Bentley, Mr. Lee is responsible
for the continued development of PlantWAVE.
