Bentley's content management and publishing environment provides access to AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) content through managed and secure distribution. Ease of access enables re-use of AEC content throughout all phases of the asset life cycle from design through to operations.

The single comprehensive platform, MicroStation, unifies the DGN and DWG worlds, providing a rich 2D and 3D environment for AEC professionals. Since Bentley's civil engineering, geospatial, plant and building solutions are built upon MicroStation, they are inherently integrated. A single integrated platform avoids data translation and fidelity problems.

Managing AEC content effectively is key to realising its full value. Managed content is organised, secure and accessible. Managed content means systematic organisation of information throughout all stages of planning, construction, and operations.

Bentley's content management and content publishing solutions are designed and optimised for AEC workflows and data types, including full support for MicroStation DGN and AutoCAD DWG files.

For document and component management, add ProjectWise. For plotting and Web-based plot distribution, add Digital InterPlot. And for dynamic and interactive Web publishing, add Bentley Publisher.

The flexible, unified licensing provides every user with full access to the environment. Each Universal Client Licence (UCL) entitles each user to access all servers and use their dedicated browser and Windows clients. No additional desktop licences are required.
