Hello all. I just received an email ad from Bentley that included the following testimonial: “Our firm is small, and tight budgets are a daily fact of life. Bentley’s new SELECT Open Access subscription allows us to play in the big leagues, paying only for what we need on a per-project basis . . . no more do we have to do without because we can’t afford to buy the software in one lump sum, much of which we may not need again until the next big project. Plus, we now have access to top level training and support resources. Try that with ‘those other guys!’ – In a word...Thanks!” I'm wondering what licenses configuration would make the Open Access model beneficial for a small businesses.? The only way that I can see this working is if the employee count and software expertise varies dramatically over time. Most of the small business that post in this forum are like us, they need a set number of licenses that do not regularly change. Maybe this company's idea of a small business is different than mine. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Is there a small business represented here that is experiencing a benefit with Open Access? I'd be curious to hear your input.
