Linde Group Joins Bentley’s Enterprise License Subscription Program
Bentley Systems, Incorporated announced that Linde Group, a world-leading industrial gases, medical gases, and engineering company based in Munich, Germany, 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.
Güvenc Özer, head of Commercial Solutions Management (WP&CS) for Linde Group, said, “Linde Group’s Gas and Engineering business segment comprises our activities in industrial and medical gases as well as in plant construction. Both of these areas benefit from mutual exchanges of expertise on major projects all around the world. An example of this successful cooperation is our on-site business, where Linde Gas and Linde Engineering work together to supply major industrial consumers with industrial gases from plants installed directly on the customer’s own site.
“Bentley’s ELS will help facilitate these international implementations by enabling us to quickly and cost-effectively deploy licenses for the advanced software applications we need where and when we need them. Our customers benefit from projects that are completed successfully and on schedule, and we benefit from the streamlined workflows and increased productivity that naturally result when our teams are able to work collaboratively using Bentley’s integrated solutions.”
Immediately, Bentley’s ELS will give Linde Group 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 Linde Group 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.
