Busy week at Bentley
It’s been a busy week on the PR and marketing front at Bentley Systems (at least that’s what my email inbox tells me, with eight emails yesterday alone).

CTSpace website taking shape
As mentioned last week, the new CTSpace website is taking shape, adopting the ‘look and feel’ of the parent Sword Group website, and with a new CTSpace logo incorporating the words “A Sword Group Company”. It’s a good-looking site – I like the animated photographs on the home page. CTSpace claims 135,000 users (though this …

CTSpace website to launch shortly?
Changes afoot regarding the long overdue CTSpace website (see previous posts here and here), though the work doesn’t yet appear to be complete (some pages appear just to be text-dumps from the old site; many don’t have a CTSpace URL – just an IP address). Expect the new Sword-style site to be relaunched shortly.
