Bentley Systems CEO Greg Bentley said, “In effect, we’ve always treated software ‘as a service.’ Bentley Systems’ ownership by our colleagues provides a longer-term perspective than the quarterly performance orientation of our publicly-held software industry peers. We’ve always prioritized long-term relationships with our users over short-term transactions with ‘customers.’
“So to align with our user organizations’ advancements and advantages, we are prepared to be accountable and incentivized to gain revenue only to the extent they realize value. That’s why we have preferred a subscription commercial model, so that we benefit not from our users’ license-purchase investments, but from their returns on productive software usage. Subscriptions thus represent over three-fourths of our revenues.
“With SELECT Open Access, just as we’ve already done for our largest accounts through the ELS program, we are completing the elimination of application software procurement obstacles to project success for all of our users.
“With Bentley CONNECT providing Windows Azure-based cloud services – including in-context LEARNservices – to each of our subscribers individually, we are very enthusiastic that our new MANAGEservices offering can extend these benefits at the enterprise and server levels to now offer, literally, ‘software as a service,’ completing our reach.”
