Municipalities Software Subscription

Bentley Systems (PA, USA) announced its software subscription for municipalities. Called the Municipal License Subscription (MLS) program, it offers municipalities all the mapping and engineering software for a fixed annual fee, based on population. Often, because of budget constraints, municipalities have an incomplete or unintegrated set of software tools to map and engineer their infrastructure - an essential function for these governments. With the MLS, they can slash their software and administrative costs, outfit their entire mapping and engineering organisations with fully integrated software, and realise a more efficient government. The MLS portfolio includes integrated geospatial and engineering solutions for:... (read more)
