New look for Sarcophagus
It has a new logo (left), the main website of Yorkshire, UK-based technology vendor Sarcophagus has recently been revamped, and the company has also started (very occasionally) using Twitter.

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).
