Bentley Systems Named ‘Company of the Year’ at Construction Computing Awards 2012

Bentley Systems, Incorporated, announced that it was named “Company of the Year” at the Construction Computing Awards 2012 (also known as The Hammers) program held at The Hotel Russell, Russell Square, in London. In addition, Bentley’s AECOsim Building Designer software won in the “Building Services Product of the Year” category, and Bentley was named runner-up in three categories: “Construction Computing SuperBrand of 2012,” “Mobile Product of the Year” for Bentley Navigator for the iPad, and “Structural Design Product of the Year” for STAAD.Pro with STAAD Foundation Advanced. The Construction Computing Awards showcase and acknowledge technology, tools, and solutions for the effective design, construction, maintenance, and modification of commercial buildings, residential and social housing, and civil engineering projects of all sizes. The winners are selected by Construction Computing magazine’s readership, which includes IT professionals in construction, product, project design and service companies, and a panel of influential industry experts that judges the project categories.

David Chadwick, editor, CAD User and Construction Computing – U.K., said, “The ‘Company of the Year Award’ recognizes an organization for outstanding achievement in software for designing, building, and/or operating infrastructure. This year’s winner, Bentley Systems, was selected by our readership for its commitment to and advancements in information mobility across the many disciplines that participate in sustaining infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Here in the U.K., the information sharing and reuse that Bentley software facilitates are evidenced in numerous projects, including Crossrail, the largest construction project in Europe. Crossrail initially employed Bentley software, including its ProjectWise system of collaboration servers and services, during its design work and now is putting it to use in this mega project’s construction phase. By selecting Bentley for the ‘Company of the Year Award,’ as well as ‘Building Services Product of the Year,’ our readers recognize its invaluable contribution to infrastructure technology. I applaud the entire Bentley organization for this well-deserved acknowledgement of its many achievements.”

Commenting on the awards, Huw Roberts, Bentley vice president, core marketing, said, “It’s truly an honor to be named ‘Company of the Year’ by the readers of this esteemed publication, and for AECOsim Building Designer to be recognized for its provision of information-rich multidisciplinary models for the design, simulation, analysis, and documentation of buildings. These awards affirm the value infrastructure professionals place on information mobility, and are a testament to Bentley Systems’ leadership in enabling information mobility spanning disciplines across the infrastructure lifecycle through our innovative software and services. We thank Construction Computing’s readers for this acknowledgement, and its editors for the work they do in providing valuable information to construction professionals around the world.”
