OpenRoads Training Services and Support
Civil XLr8 is (mostly) Jeff Martin, PE, who started his Bentley Civil Engineering Career in 1992 as an InRoads Support Specialist at Intergraph Corporation. His recent thirteen year tenure at Bentley Systems saw him writing the first official Advanced InRoads Training Manual, the first OpenRoads Training Manuals and much more. He relinquished his position as Bentley Civil Training Materials Manager to get back into the field to help organizations excel in OpenRoads.
Jeff has led large scale Bentley Civil Software implementations, worked for multiple MegaCorps, worked with multiple government agencies, and, importantly, worked embedded recently on large-scale, mutli-discipline, live-collaboration MegaProjects.
The Civil XLr8 Mission, first stated over twenty years ago, is as essential today:
Good | Accelerate | increase your speed | |
Better | Excel-erate | increase your Excellence, your Quality (speed without quality just increases risk) | |
Best | XLr8 | MAXIMIZE your Efficiency and Excellence |
Civil XLr8 is dedicated to Maximizing the Efficiency and Excellence of your Civil Engineering Office.
The OpenRoads Platform's Achilles Heel:
The OpenRoads Platform drawfs previous engineering software in power - AND Complexity. It's a revolution not an evolution. Not understanding the leap opens unprecedented risk to schedule, risk to budget, risk to client's satisfaction, risk to your designers' mental health. The Support ecosystem is not significantly better than it was in days of simpler software. Is it worth it? Yes, but the Support Gap is its Achille's Heel - and yours.
My #1 Recommendation
Get Help! Don't go it alone. Talk to someone who has been where you're going. Best Advice: Use all your Support Resources
