Bentley to “Complete Its Reach” in Software Services
At the Year in Infrastructure 2013 Conference, Bentley Systems has announced that its CONNECT Services will be extended to all of Bentley’s software subscribers to complete the reach of project and asset information mobility, will be fully provisioned through the Windows Azure cloud from Microsoft Corp. Windows Azure will unify Bentley’s own software and support enterprise, making it accessible to add value directly in the “live” context of users’ work, through
Bentley CONNECT SELECTservices for software administration.
In addition, it will underlie an incremental business model – enabling Bentley to complete its reach in “software as services” through Bentley CONNECT MANAGEservices.
Bentley CONNECT can span users’ project environments across participants, firewalls, supply chains, joint ventures, and disparate vendors’ software, as well as across Bentley’s information modelling application portfolio, Bentley’s ProjectWise collaboration servers, Bentley’s AssetWise servers for operations and maintenance, and Bentley’s growing mobile apps portfolio.
Alan Kiraly, Senior Vice-President, Bentley, said, The Windows Azure team has been very collaborative and supportive. We have been impressed with the pace at which Microsoft is adding new data centers and Windows Azure core services in the areas such as security, notification, data replication, data synchronization, and big data analytics. We can leverage each of these immediately in our application-level services to further facilitate and streamline our users’ workflows in collaborative and distributed environments.
By embracing Windows Azure Platform-as-a-Service and Infrastructure Services, Bentley is aligned with Microsoft’s commitment to hybrid environments, comprising cloud and on-premises computing – a crucial factor in meeting the unique requirements of organizations that design, build and operate the world’s infrastructure.
