Bentley Releases Bentley Water V8 XM Edition

BALTIMORE—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 29, 2008— Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced the release of Bentley Water V8 XM Edition. This comprehensive water distribution design software helps engineers and GIS professionals in water utilities and municipalities design, document, and manage potable water distribution networks more efficiently. Bentley Water V8 XM provides all the capabilities of Bentley Map including map management, thematic and overlay analysis features, business and topological rules enforcement, and accurate editing. In addition, it allows easy access to enterprise data to improve the management of the asset lifecycle. Because Bentley Water V8 XM integrates with Bentleys industry-leading Haestad Methods hydraulic modeling and analysis software, users of WaterGEMS, WaterCAD, and HAMMER can share network connectivity, maintenance records, and operational data to run hydraulic simulations of their potable water distribution systems. Bentley Water V8 XM also interoperates with Bentley Geospatial Server for enterprise GIS implementation and enterprise collaboration, Bentley PowerMap Field to support field technicians using offline data, and Bentley Geo Web Publisher for publishing water infrastructure data to internal and external websites.

Bentley continues to lead and innovate with this latest addition to its comprehensive solution for potable water networks, said Olcay Ebcin, GIS manager, Istanbul Water & Sewerage Administration, which serves a city with a population of more than 11 million. As users of both Bentley Water and WaterGEMS, we welcome Bentleys efforts to provide us with a tightly integrated workflow between hydraulic modeling, asset management, and GIS.

Commenting on the new software, Jack Cook, Bentley vice president, said, The release of Bentley Water V8 XM broadens Bentleys support of potable water infrastructure from sources to treatment plants, transmission, and distribution networks, right through to the consumer. It includes the powerful capabilities of other Bentley mapping, data management, collaboration, plant design, hydraulic simulation, construction documentation, and field engineering tools to deliver the industrys most comprehensive water solution for investor-owned utilities, civil engineering consultants, and municipal utilities.

Bentley Water V8 XM Edition uses geospatial XML Feature Modeling (XFM) fully. This paradigm shift in the development of GIS applications empowers users to completely customize functionality and the predefined schema, as well as to choose from a wide range of persistent data models including stand-alone DGN, DGN/RDBMS, and Oracle® Spatial. When used concurrently with Bentley Geospatial Server, Bentley Water supports simultaneous multiuser editing, optimistic and pessimistic transactions, and time component features, including versioning and live or disconnected mode editing, provided by Oracle®.

The XFM environment enables a new set of asset management, water network maintenance, and operation capabilities. These include smart placement and network connectivity, configurable isolation tracing and reporting, dynamic property-based symbology and annotation, and network leak analysis tools.
