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.
