IÝm sure in our press communications we say this about every release, but I really do look at this release as a big one! I donÝt necessarily expect immediate adoption of V8i, because I donÝt think overnight everyone is going to say, ÙI have to upgrade everything to V8i.Ý However, when an organisation does say, ÙNow is the time for us to move to V8i,Ý they wonÝt have anywhere near the issues they had in the past making a number of products work together. In the V8i portfolio we have a lot of products that are used by a lot of people, and the products are interconnected. I think our users will end up looking at V8i as a major breakpoint in the portfolio of Bentley products. So, it has been a concerted release with many more moving parts that all had to come together. V8i is the companyÝs largest effort to date to get together the most programmers releasing the most code, affecting the majority of our products, being deployed by the largest number of our users. One thing about this release compared to, say, MicroStation V8 XM Edition, is that while there was a lot of big stuff in V8 XM, some of its main benefits were for our applications. Keith Bentley: From this point on, I think each of our releases will be Ùthe biggest releaseÝ for us as we grow and make more acquisitions. Keith Bentley, chief technology officer, Bentley. ![]()
