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.

Podcast: DigitalGlobe IPO: Pushing Geospatial into IT?
This week DigitalGlobe joined the ranks of other companies that are publicly traded. Does this move and the related buzz help move geospatial technology into the realm of the broader information technology space? How should we see this change? Also: concerns about GeoEye-1 push that company's stock down.

Podcast: Exploring the Geospatial Lexicon
This week we look at some new and old terms creeping into and out of conversations about location technology. Have you heard about Hybrid GIS or Dislocation Intelligence? What words stay with us and which disappear?

Bentley Systems Profiled in Philadelphia Business Today
Philadelphia Business Today profiled Bentley Systems as company likely to benefit from the U.S. economic stimulus package. The TV news program reported that the company made $500 in revenues last year with a substantial portion of that coming from foreign sources. CEO Greg Bentley was asked about some of the work being done by his employees based in foreign countries like Pakistan.

Bentley Updates BE Conference to Online Seminar Series
I read about this earlier in the week on Matt Ball's blog. I didn't cover it since I expected it'd be "news" everywhere by now. It's not.
Some are saying BE is "cancelled," though Bentley is positioning the change as a response to its users' situations. Somewhere wrapped in, I'm confident, the plan change reflects Bentley's situation as well. The event, for those who've not attended, struck me as on the "fancy" side of those I've attended. The "dress up" BE Awards really did have an Academy Awards feel. The awards event, renamed Be Inspired Awards, will be held in the fall as a one day affair for finalists.
What interested me about this change is that the news came not from Bentley (at least to date), but via two blogs. Matt, as I noted posted about it on Wednesday and yesterday Ralph Grabowski noted it on his WorldCAD Access blog. CAD guy Brad Holtz from Cyon just twittered about it yesterday. The only other tweeting on the matter is between someone who "respectfully disagrees" and a person I gather to be a Bentley user.

Bentley Offers Helping Hand to "Be Employable" for those Out of Work
Bentley Systems launched a campaign yesterday called "Be Employable" to support out of work infrastructure professionals with free online training and access to online software. The initiative, part of Bentley's "Be Careers Network," includes professional organizations and firms looking to support recruitment of trained AEC and geospatial technologists. I'll give Bentley credit; it's a great idea and this is the first I've seen of a program to help geospatial professionals who may be looking for work. In a time where there is a dearth of trained geospatial professionals this is an opportunity to develop skills that are highly employable.
