WorkPlace products and services will reduce the costs and time of design, deployment and operation of facilities throughout their life. "By combining Primavera's knowledge of project management with Bentley's expertise in engineering software, WorkPlace will provide solutions that address the complete and integrated lifecycle requirements of facilities rather than point solutions that address pieces of a much larger problem," said Greg Bentley Gregory "Greg" Bentley (born 9 April 1987) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
