On July 26, Bentley Systems Inc. completed a $32-million purchase of Rebis Industrial Workgroup Software, whose plant design and management products are engineered to integrate with the CAD products of both Bentley and its rival, Autodesk Inc.
Greg Bentley, CEO of Exton, Pa.-based Bentley, says his company welcomes "the opportunity to continue Rebis' commitment to deliver high-quality applications for both the MicroStation and AutoCAD platforms." He says users of Rebis' AutoPLANT solutions will benefit from Bentley's server-level products for content management and publishing, whether design data is in MicroStation's DGN or AutoCAD's DWG file formats.
