FDOT Joins Bentley's ELS Program

Bentley Systems Inc. has announced that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has joined Bentley’s Enterprise License Subscription (ELS) program for a three-year term. Bentley’s innovative ELS will extend FDOT’s software capability by granting FDOT access to a comprehensive portfolio of civil engineering, architectural, construction, operations and geospatial software for a single annual fee. Built on a common platform, the portfolio includes almost 200 integrated and interoperable design, analysis and collaboration software products.

For more than a decade, FDOT has utilized Bentley’s software, including MicroStation and GEOPAK, to help it design Florida’s roads, bridges and other transportation infrastructure. Through its new three-year ELS, the department continues its long-standing use of software and services from Bentley and capitalizes on its investment in the expertise that hundreds of FDOT designers and consultants have acquired in the use of Bentley technology--both of which are key components in FDOT’s ability to tackle a $41.7-billion work program over the next five years.

FDOT’s expertise in Bentley solutions is coupled with professional training provided by Bentley. FDOT’s curriculum was customized by the company, as were certain key software tools, to better address the department’s specific workflow requirements. As Bentley introduces new software capabilities, FDOT will be able to maintain training readiness through its renewal of two three-year training agreements. In addition, ready access to future training will enable FDOT to bring new team members up to speed on Bentley’s technology and make them more productive in less time.
