Bentley Systems Incorporated and ESRI announced their AEC GIS Interoperability Initiative, an unprecedented strategic technology initiative that will result in direct and intelligent integration between desktop and server based products from the two companies.

Bentley, with its solutions for Architecture/Engineering/Construction (AEC) professionals, and ESRI, with its solutions for GIS professionals, both provide spatially oriented graphical applications. These applications are often used within organizations served by both Bentley and ESRI. Such organizations include municipalities, transportation agencies, national government agencies, utilities, communication providers, and others.
