Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Daratech, Inc., "Globalization globalization Process by which the experience of everyday life, marked by the diffusion of commodities and ideas, is becoming standardized around the world. Factors that have contributed to globalization include increasingly sophisticated communications and transportation requires new project management skills and processes that can meet the requirements of today's distributed enterprises. Bentley has shown an impressive understanding of the management challenges of globalization and the tools needed to meet these challenges. By focusing on the changing needs of its users, Bentley has emerged a strategic and trusted supplier to a growing number of EPCs and owner-operators." Bentley's DigitalPlant Solutions Bentley's DigitalPlant portfolio provides comprehensive solutions for the distributed enterprise. It includes applications for front-end engineering design, detailed design, engineering, and analysis, construction commissioning and handover n. 1.

It also includes the ProjectWise range of collaboration servers for connecting, managing, and finding all engineering information throughout the plant lifecycle and across the distributed enterprise. DigitalPlant can interoperate with other engineering applications, including Plant Design System (PDS (1) (Processor Direct Slot) A single expansion slot on certain, early Macintosh models that was used to connect high-speed peripherals as well as additional CPUs. Providing a channel directly to the CPU, the PDS coexisted with NuBus slots on some models. ) from Intergraph and AutoCAD, as well as enterprise systems such as those provided by SAP AG (company) SAP AG - (Systeme, Anwendungen, Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung - German for "Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing") A company from Germany that sells the leading suite of client-server business software. The US branch is called SAP America. . Bentley just signed a global agreement with SAP, under which SAP will resell mySAP PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design Integration for Bentley, integrated with the mySAP(TM) Product Lifecycle Product lifecycle or product life cycle is the course of a product's sales and profits over time. The five stages of each product lifecycle are product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline. Management (mySAP PLM) solution, directly to its customers. DigitalPlant enabling technologies include the adaptive information model and the Lifecycle server. The adaptive information model, which implements ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 15926, allows teams to easily incorporate new information standards and requirements, such as new suppliers, equipment, and materials, into their projects midstream. It provides competitive advantage over "fixed model" systems, which make it hard or slow to incorporate changes and, in turn, limit business choices. Because ISO 15926 is extensible and, thus, always evolving, Bentley has developed an editing tool that enables it to easily manage and update the underlying information model so that it is always current. Users also can take advantage of this tool to maintain and adapt the open, published ISO 15926 information model so they, too, can keep up with the evolving standard. This is particularly useful to owner-operators and EPCs that have applied this model to their own internal standards for information sharing See data conferencing. . Bentley is making this tool available to all companies and projects within the FIATECH Accelerated Deployment of ISO 15926 (ADI) Project. The Lifecycle server provides component state, data quality, and change management. It allows EPCs and owner-operators to boost the quality of information exchange at critical stages of their process, including impact analysis, design alternative exploration, and loading of business systems. Bentley ELS Agreements Bentley's ELS agreements support distributed enterprises by giving them the agility to immediately deploy the products they require wherever they are needed. Because of this agility, project starts can happen faster and teams can reconfigure more quickly for new opportunities. The ELS makes all this possible by granting organizations unlimited access to the program's entire software portfolio for a fixed annual fee. In 2005, more than 30 new ELS agreements were signed by Bentley users, including the following 12 in the plant vertical of the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC AEC US Atomic Energy Commission Noun 1.

Recent Initiatives at daratechPLANT2006 At daratechPLANT2006, Bentley will feature recent initiatives that underscore the company's commitment to providing DigitalPlant solutions that support the requirements of distributed enterprises. These initiatives include Bentley's Integrated Engineering Integrated Engineering is a multi-disciplinary, design project based engineering degree program. Integrated Engnineering is a program created to meet the demand for engineers who are able to deal with a wide range of problems, often involving knowledge from several Group, Interoperability Lab, and Open PDS Utility. Integrated Engineering Group The company's new Integrated Engineering Group, which incorporates its newly acquired STAAD and RAM product lines for structural design and analysis, is charged with leveraging the power of analysis throughout the workflows of not only distributed enterprises in the plant vertical, but also of building and civil infrastructure lifecycles. Bentley's vision for accomplishing this includes integrating design and analysis in multiple disciplines, eliminating the information loss within engineering workflows, and embedding interactive, front-end analysis into design decisions. Benefits to users include reduced cycle times and significant improvements in accuracy, quality, and safety. Interoperability Lab Bentley's Interoperability Lab provides a controlled environment for software integration testing (testing) integration testing - A type of testing in which software and/or hardware components are combined and tested to confirm that they interact according to their requirements. Integration testing can continue progressively until the entire system has been integrated. and validation of application scenarios in the plant environment. Bentley will initially use the new facility to ensure the interoperability of its comprehensive set of DigitalPlant engineering tools with PDS from Intergraph. However, it will expand its capabilities in the future to include additional third-party products. PDS users can also take advantage of this lab and actively participate in various work processes using their own data. Using the lab, EPCs can test a variety of interoperability scenarios before committing to contractual delivery requirements The stipulation that requires that an item of materiel must be delivered in the total quantity required by the date required. on projects. Owners and EPCs can assess PDS legacy datasets for reuse. Open PDS Utility Bentley's Open PDS Utility allows MicroStation V8 users to easily view or export design review information from PDS V7 models. Part of a comprehensive program to support users of the Plant Design System, this MicroStation V8 add-on utility can be downloaded for free at www.bentley.com/pdsusers. The Open PDS Utility is especially useful to those who have already upgraded to MicroStation V8 applications such as HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) In the home or small office with a handful of computers, HVAC is more for human comfort than the machines. In large datacenters, a humidity-free room with a steady, cool temperature is essential for the trouble-free , architectural, civil, and structural design and need to collaborate with PDS users. The ability to easily view or export PDS V7 design review information without additional expense lets teams efficiently and cost-effectively share and reuse PDS data. As a bonus to owner-operators, the Open PDS Utility empowers them to specify their PDS 3D model deliverables in a standard MicroStation V8 file format. This ensures ongoing value during the facility operations and maintenance phases of the project lifecycle.
