Working Smarter, Together:
Accelerating Information Mobility
Bentley’s mission of sustaining infrastructure is about supporting our users – infrastructure enterprises and owner‑operator
professionals – in projects that increase our collective global economic capacity while also reducing our environmental footprint.
This support includes innovative software and services providing information modeling and engineering information management
that ensures the AECO information they rely upon and share is both mobile and secure — across the entire infrastructure lifecycle.
In the pages of The Year In Infrastructure 2012 are our users’ pioneering projects that improve our world in countless ways, by
creating buildings that are energy efficient, resilient to natural and man-made disasters, and provide owners with strong ROI;
roads and bridges that are safe, uncongested, and economical to operate and maintain; water and wastewater systems that are
highly dependable and able to serve a growing population; processing plants that are environmentally friendly, cost-effective to
operate, and safe; and much more. recognizing the critical importance of being a good corporate citizen, Bentley is
uncompromisingly committed to supporting ecological sustainability. this support

About the 2012 Be Inspired Awards
The annual Be Inspired Awards program brings together infrastructure professionals and members of academia from around the globe. Its goal
is twofold: to advance innovation and best practices in design, engineering, construction, operations, and project delivery, and to promote the
extraordinary work of the organizations that help sustain the world’s infrastructure.
The Be Inspired Awards has recognized more than 2,000 of the world’s most outstanding infrastructure projects since its inception in 2004.
The projects nominated for the Be Inspired Awards are submitted by Bentley’s global community of users. This year, five independent panels of
jurors, comprising accomplished Bentley users and distinguished industry experts, selected the 58 finalists and the Special Recognition Awards
candidates from nominations submitted by organizations in 39 countries.
At the 2012 Be Inspired: Innovations in Infrastructure event in Amsterdam, representatives of the Be Inspired Awards finalists presented their
projects before the jurors – for their consideration in the final tally – as well as the members of the media and other industry executives in
attendance. The winners were announced during the highly anticipated Be Inspired Awards ceremony, which was the culmination of the event.
Winners of the Be Inspired Special Recognition Awards also presented their projects and were recognized during the ceremony. The candidates for
these awards were placed into nomination by the jurors for their uniquely innovative and visionary achievements embracing multiple Be Inspired
Awards categories. The nominees were then reviewed by a panel of Bentley executives.
All of this year’s nominated projects are presented in The Year in Infrastructure 2012. By showcasing the outstanding achievements in
sustaining infrastructure across the globe, Bentley shares the innovation in best practices among the organizations and professionals who
make these projects possible. Searchable digital versions of Be Inspired Awards publications are available online at www.bentley.com/
yearininfrastructure, and Bentley’s Be Inspired Project Portfolios are available at www.bentley.com/projects. In addition, the recorded
presentations of the winning and finalist projects can be viewed on Bentley’s Be Connected online video library. Using streaming media,
Be Connected is a sustainable way to learn from the innovative best practices and application of technologies from today’s infrastructure
thought leaders. To view these presentations, go to www.bentley.com/beconnected.

continuous learning, professional development, and mentoring the next generation of infrastructure professionals, while
providing an exceptional environment for learning.
Attaining Return on Innovation

The award is given to an organization that best exemplifies innovation by utilizing technology and creative workflows to
create value and deliver better-performing infrastructure with demonstrated, quantifiable results.
Advancing Information Mobility

The ultimate goal of interoperability is to enable information mobility. The award for this category is given to a project that
best illustrates the innovative reuse of engineering information throughout the design and construction of a project, and
provides the ability to deliver a “digital asset” for use in ongoing operations.
Innovation in Asset Performance Management

The award recognizes a project that optimizes infrastructure asset performance to make operations and maintenance
more efficient, to improve safety, and to increase throughput of the asset over its lifecycle.
Bentley Developer Network

The award for this category is given to an organization that leverages the power of Bentley’s platform technology to
develop unique and innovative custom applications.
Educator of the Year

An educator of the year demonstrates achievements that stand out above those of his or her peers. In addition, he or
