GUIYANG, China – Greater China BE Meeting and Bentley Partner Conference 2007 – 4 Sept. 2007 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced at this gathering of prominent organizations in China’s infrastructure community that China HuanQiu Contracting & Engineering Corp. (HQCEC), a leading international engineering corporation providing integrated services that include engineering, procurement, construction management, and commissioning supervision, has joined Bentley’s Enterprise License Subscription (ELS) program.
Wang Ning, CIO, HQCEC, said, “Our company has successfully completed more than 1000 projects in China and around the world since its founding in 1953. Behind all of these achievements is our dedication to creating more value for our clients’ projects through our quality services and unremitting efforts.
“Our new ELS with Bentley will help support these efforts by enhancing our ability to consistently innovate and apply new technologies to benefit our clients, investors, colleagues, and society. Through this program, our multidiscipline teams will have access to the advanced software they need to produce engineering designs of the highest quality, and to effectively collaborate among themselves and the many other parties involved in today’s complex projects.”
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. The unlimited access streamlines AEC and geospatial software administration while the annual term simplifies budgeting and accounting.
Immediately, the Bentley ELS will give HQCEC a quick, cost-effective way to offer its clients creative technical alternatives and solutions for all projects.
As a strategic benefit, the Bentley ELS helps organizations such as HQCEC 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.

In previous editorials in this magazine I have touched on various SDI issues, especially now that the pan-European SDI has achieved a legally mandated status within the European Union's 27 Member States. Yet I fear that the Geographic Information community - or communities, for there are many - continue to… More…
