Hi Brian, [quote user="Brian MacCartney"]Is Bentley looking to go this way too?[/quote] It was already announced cloud services will offered by Bentley as a part of CONNECT Edition release. [quote user="Brian MacCartney"]Does it mean the software resides on the "cloud" and you can only access it thru an internet connection?[/quote] I have no experience with the current Autodesk offer, but when CAD companies talk about cloud, they typically mean data sharing or project management tools, not the software itself. There are some exceptions (like Onshape , completely new cloud-only solution) and I guess the most of companies have tested and evaluated different ways how to use cloud technologies, but at least for Bentley and CONNECT Edition the connection to cloud is not mandatory, but is optional only (and offers some extra functionality and benefits). With regards, Jan
