  • Bentley Systems named 2018 Microsoft Partner of the Year for Malaysia railway project

    Bentley Systems has received a 2018 Microsoft Partner of the Year award for helping Malaysia’s Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRTC) in going digital for a railway project. According to Microsoft, through this project, Bentley Systems demonstrated excellence in innovation and implementation of user solutions based on Microsoft technology.

    These awards were distributed in 39 categories, and Bentley Systems received the award in the CityNext Partner of the Year category.

    With more than 1.7 million people residing in just 94 square miles, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia has one of the highest population densities globally.
