Westinghouse Rail Systems Joins Bentley Enterprise License Subscription Program.Leader in Advanced Integrated Signalling and Control Systems for Railways Gets Unlimited Access to Entire ELS Software Portfolio for Fixed Annual Fee EXTON, Pa. -- Bentley Systems Bentley Systems, Incorporated, provides software for the "Design, construction and operation of the world's infrastructure". The company’s software serves the building, plant, civil, and geospatial vertical markets in the areas of architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) , Incorporated today announced that Westinghouse Rail Systems Westinghouse Rail Systems Ltd (formerly Westinghouse Signals Ltd) is a British supplier of railway signalling and control equipment to the rail industry worldwide. Its head office is in Chippenham, Wiltshire, where it manufactures a variety of mechanical and electrical/electronic Ltd.

At the heart of WRSL's design capability is a strong team of more than 200 designers, most of whom are based in the United Kingdom and all of whom use MicroStation for railway signalling design work. Continued business growth both at home and overseas caused the organization to move to the flexible method of licensing provided by the Bentley ELS. Said Graeme Vousden, lean engineer at WRSL, "The ELS agreement supports WRSL's growth into new and emerging markets around the world, where the company is delivering new and modified signalling systems both for mainline and mass transit railways. The ELS agreement provides WRSL with the facility to use a wide range of Bentley software in its railway signalling design activities anywhere in the world. This simplification of licensing frees WRSL to focus on its core activities of railway signalling design and delivery, in the knowledge that its software licensing requirements are being met." The Bentley ELS program grants organizations unlimited access to the entire ELS software portfolio for a fixed annual fee. The portfolio covers all the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC AEC US Atomic Energy Commission Noun 1.

The term is often used in conjunction with geographic information systems and geomatics. 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.
