Largest Worldwide, Specialized Resource Pool in the Pharmaceutical Industry Gets Unlimited Access to Entire ELS Software Portfolio for Fixed Annual Fee
HOUSTON – daratechPLANT2008 – Jan. 29, 2008 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced that Denmark-based NNE Pharmaplan, the world’s leading engineering and consultancy company focused entirely on the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, has joined Bentley’s Enterprise License Subscription (ELS) program. Bentley’s ELS program grants organizations unlimited access to the entire ELS software portfolio for a fixed annual fee. The portfolio covers all the architectural, engineering, construction (AEC) and geospatial software needs of subscribers, providing building, plant, civil, and geospatial solutions and supporting a managed environment for their AEC and geospatial IT. The total coverage at a fixed, discounted price means that organizations can increase their software productivity and reduce their total AEC and geospatial software costs simultaneously. The unlimited access streamlines AEC and geospatial software administration while the annual term simplifies budgeting and accounting.
Lars Bjorn Christensen, IT project management specialist of NNE Pharmaplan and chairman of the Danish Bentley Plant User Group, said, “Minimizing time-to-market for new products and the capability to switch rapidly from one product to another are essential needs of pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies. To address them, NNE Pharmaplan has developed a flexible modular approach to facility design and engineering. Our modular approach has made it possible to reduce the execution time of greenfield fast-track projects to 12 months – from the start of detailed design to the end of operational qualification.
“Bentley’s ELS helps us support this approach by providing fast, ready, and cost-effective access to the software solutions we need, whenever and wherever we need them around the globe. With Bentley’s ELS, all of the advanced solutions we need across the entire lifecycle of our projects are immediately available to us with no additional costs to account for in our budget.”
Immediately, Bentley’s ELS gives NNE Pharmaplan a quick, cost-effective way to offer its clients creative technical alternatives and sustainable solutions for its projects. As a strategic benefit, Bentley’s ELS helps organizations such as NNE Pharmaplan become more agile. Project starts can happen faster and teams can reconfigure more quickly for new opportunities. No-charge pilots allow new technology to be infused into projects more readily. ELS agreements can include partners, extending the agility and multiplying the benefits in global projects.
