Reynolds, Smith and Hills Joins Bentley Enterprise License Subscription Program
Bentley Systems, Incorporated, announced that Reynolds, Smith and Hills, Inc. (RS&H), an architectural, engineering, planning, and environmental services firm based in Jacksonville, Florida., has joined Bentley's Enterprise License Subscription (ELS) program.
The Bentley ELS program grants organizations unlimited access to the company's entire software portfolio for a fixed annual fee. The portfolio covers all the AEC software needs of subscribers, providing building, plant, civil, and geospatial solutions and supporting a managed environment for their AEC IT.
The total coverage at a fixed, discounted price means that organizations can increase their software productivity and reduce their total AEC software costs simultaneously. The unlimited access streamlines AEC software administration while the annual term simplifies budgeting and accounting.
"The ELS will help RS&H remain on the leading edge of design and delivery technology," said Leerie T. Jenkins, Jr., chief executive officer at RS&H. "We continually invest in the technical and professional development of our firm's staff and equipment to ensure that our clients work with trained, informed professionals who use only the most advanced technology. The ELS program will help us achieve this goal by making it easier and less costly for us to regularly enhance our AEC software."
Immediately, the ELS will give RS&H a quick, cost-effective way to create a managed environment connecting its 20 design and project offices across the U.S. This managed environment may be fully utilized on Bentley ProjectWise, the collaboration server within the Bentley portfolio.
A managed environment allows valuable AEC information to be shared, synchronized, and secured. Fast-track projects can be managed better by ensuring that project teams can work on separate project components in parallel.
As a strategic benefit, Bentley ELS helps organizations such as RS&H 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.
RS&H is a provider of architectural, engineering, planning, and environmental services to the aerospace and defense, aviation, commercial, institutional, public infrastructure, and transportation industries. For more information about RS&H, visit http://www.rsandh.com .
