In these challenging times when COVID-19 is imposing significant disruptions to day to day activities and affecting normal business flow of our much-valued users and employees, we at Bentley are mindfully committed to ensuring a smooth transition of work from the office to a remote location or home. Our innovative software and services are all geared for working from home or remote locations and do not impose the need to be in an office set-up.
For a general overview of how this works for Bentley products refer to https://www.bentley.com/en/covid-19
To ensure a smooth transition of work and effectiveness of your daily workflows with OpenCities Map, we have assembled information that you can refer to while working remotely or from home. We are working hard to deliver high levels of customer service, and welcome feedback, questions, and ideas on how we can serve you better in a remote work environment.
When working remotely, the best practice is to use a company issued laptop with OpenCities Map product installed.
OpenCities Map utilizes MicroStation's workspaces and will therefore follow the guidelines indicated in the following article: Working from home with MicroStation. (Link TBD)
To access spatial databases that are hosted on your corporate server, you'll need to install VPN software. Please contact your IT department for further instructions.
