Burns & McDonnell Joins Bentley’s Enterprise License Subscription Programs
Bentley Systems, Incorporated announced that Burns & McDonnell, a Kansas City, Missouri-based leading engineering, architecture, construction, environmental, and consulting services firm and No. 35 in Engineering News-Record’s 2007 Top 500 Design Firms, has joined Bentley’s Enterprise License Subscription (ELS) program. Bentley’s ELS program grants organizations unlimited access to the entire ELS software portfolio for a fixed annual fee. The portfolio covers all the architectural, engineering, 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.
Kris Paper, IT director for Burns & McDonnell, said, “Burns & McDonnell has made remarkable strides in providing engineering, procurement, and construction services for our infrastructure, process and industrial, energy, and environmental clients. We’re pleased with our ability to make our clients successful and will continue to aggressively pursue our goal of becoming the best in our field.
“Providing creative solutions that maximize the value of our broad experience and expertise is a Burns & McDonnell hallmark. This requires the best people, processes, and technologies. Bentley’s ELS will give us ready access to the best technical solutions, and make it easier for us to use the advanced software solutions that are a best-fit with our clients’ individual requirements and preferences.”
Immediately, Bentley’s ELS will give Burns & McDonnell a quick, cost-effective way to offer its clients creative technical alternatives and solutions for all projects. As a strategic benefit, Bentley’s ELS helps organizations such as Burns & McDonnell 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.
