Municipality of Nynashamn Joins Bentley's Municipal License Subscription Program



    Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced that the
    municipality of Nynashamn, a community of 25,000 near Stockholm, has
    joined Bentley's Municipal License Subscription (MLS) program.

    Commenting on the municipality's MLS, Tom Lillhannus, mapping and
    surveying engineer for Nynashamn, said, "In the next few years, we
    will handle more than 60 projects, including major ones crucial to the
    growth of Nynashamn's infrastructure. Successful completion of this
    ambitious workload will require the broad range of advanced software
    solutions readily available through Bentley's MLS. Moreover, our new
    MLS will provide us with a greatly needed standardized platform that
    allows us to easily share project information - internally and
    externally - in a variety of formats."

    Bentley's MLS offers municipalities all the software they need to
    design and manage all their infrastructure for a fixed annual fee
    based on population. The breakthrough program enables them to improve
    productivity and reduce administrative costs by outfitting their
    entire mapping and engineering organizations with fully integrated
    software for GIS and engineering workflows. This leads to improved
    services and more efficient government.

    Nynashamn has under way or in the planning stages several major
    infrastructure projects that will serve its citizens as well as its
    expanding business sector. The projects include a four-lane highway, a
    double-track commuter line that will also accommodate additional rail
    freight transportation, and a new deep-sea port. Nynashamn's new MLS
    program will help facilitate each of these projects, along with a
    growing list of others, and enable the municipality to streamline its
    GIS and engineering workflows.

    Nynashamn will take advantage of the program's cost-efficiencies
    to expand its use of MicroStation. In addition, it will begin to
    deploy other applications in Bentley's comprehensive portfolio of
    software across its entire organization.

    Said Lillhannus, "We've also joined Bentley's Enterprise Training
    Subscription program, which entitles the entire staff to unlimited
    professional training by Bentley Institute. So, not only do we get the
    software we need to complete our infrastructure projects, we also get
    the training we need to use our new software as effectively as
    possible."

    Bentley's MLS program provides municipalities with unlimited
    access to a comprehensive portfolio of integrated GIS and engineering
    software for all of their infrastructure, including:

    -- Public works - roads, bridges, water, sewer, and storm

    -- Land development

    -- E-government

    -- Light rail design

    -- Community broadband

    -- Water and wastewater treatment plant design

    -- Electric and gas distribution networks

    -- Urban planning

    -- Cadastre management

    -- Public safety

    -- Municipal building design

    -- Mapping and 3D modeling

    Because program fees are fixed, Bentley's MLS guarantees
    predictable software costs and budgeting. In addition, it removes the
    administrative burden of complex software licenses, shortens
    procurement cycles, speeds project starts, and ultimately leads to
    more efficient government.
