"The GIS capabilities that infrastructure teams rely on are distinct and demand capabilities beyond those of traditional GIS applications".
Said Styli Camateros, vice president, Bentley Geospatial, "Our strategy of advancing GIS for infrastructure is paying off".
"Our solid geospatial platform, coupled with integrated engineering and planning applications, enables us to provide strong solutions second to none to address the infrastructure needs of national, regional and local governments, public works organisations, water and sewer utilities, civil engineering firms, communications service providers, and electric and gas utilities".
"Completing the package is our commitment to interoperability and de facto standards such as Oracle Spatial 10g".
According to the Daratech study, the worldwide GIS/geospatial business grew by 17 percent in 2005.
In 2006, revenue is forecast to reach $3.6 billion, up from $2.82 billion in 2004.
Revenues are growing fastest in the public sector, which includes federal and municipal governments.
Software revenues accounted for more than half of total GIS/geospatial revenues in 2004, with revenues from GIS software vendors reaching $1.5 billion.
The study says that ESRI, Bentley, and Intergraph are the leading providers of this technology and account for over half of the total GIS/geospatial software revenues.
Bentley is ranked as the No 2 vendor of GIS/geospatial software solutions worldwide, second only to ESRI.
