Podcast: Exclusive Interview with Greg Bentley, CEO, Bentley Systems
Recently, Editor in Chief Joe Francica met with Greg Bentley, CEO of Bentley Systems, the geospatial and engineering software and solutions company. He sat down with Bentley at his office in Exton, PA and discussed the company's focus on infrastructure, a timely topic given the global investments being made by many countries to stem the economic downturn. Bentley discussed the company's financial position and how the economy has affected revenue performance. He mentioned that the company reached two significant milestones this year: Bentley attained $500M in revenue in 2008 and it will also celebrate 25 years in business. This audio interview lasts approximately 25 minutes and was recorded on May 19th, 2009.

Bentley Integrates Anoto Technology into ProjectWise
The solution is called ProjectWise Dynamic plot. The Bentley data is printed from data stored and managed in ProjectWise. The plot includes a printed grid used to track markup done with a special pen. When the pen in docked, the markup is made available as a layer to the appropriate design files. Bentley has licensed technology from Anoto to put the "dots" on the paper through its printing/publishing software. Bentley sells the Anoto pens directly.
I first saw this technology at a BE Event several years ago as part of Bentley's Applied Research Labs exhibit.
In a virtual press conference today Joe Croser, Global Marketing Director, Platform at Bentley referred to the solution as non-disruptive. John Simons, Director, Product Management explained that the big difference in this solution in comparison to Adapx solution (which works with ArcGIS, based on the same technology) is that this solution is distributed. The pen does not require synchonization - that is, just start drawing with the pen on the paper. Notification of changes is done via a separate notification system in ProjectWise. A 600 or 1200 DPI color printer is required, but it fairly common in engineering shops.
Details of pricing were not shared since they vary from country to country.
The product is available as of today.

Also: concerns about GeoEye-1 push that company's stock down.
