In his column "The Last Word," Greg Bentley offers thoughts on the company's accomplishments during the prior year, as presented in the May 2006 Annual Report.

In his letter, Mr Bentley notes that the company's growth and profitability enable it to continue to make strategic acquisitions to more comprehensively support its users' infrastructure work.

He attributes Bentley's strong performance to several distinguishing strategies developed and executed at Bentley specifically to empower distributed enterprises, along with the company's most fundamental strategic distinction - its complement of Bentley colleagues.

"The proportion with advanced degrees - at over one quarter of all colleagues - is revealing," said Mr.Bentley.

"In particular, our 44 Ph.D.s are bridging the gap between research and technology application".
