Bentley Expert Designer Communications is a companion product for Bentley Communications desktop products to track and approve work request design plans from inception to completion. Bentley Expert Designer Communications supports multiple work flows, each with its own set of states and available actions. Work flow types are defined during the configuration phase. A workflow can be manually created and edited through the user interface or it can be created via the system's interaction with a work management system. The Bentley Communications product suite is a collection of products to streamline design and manage an up-to-date register of assets in a GIS for owner operators of communications networks.
