Frequently asked questions
Anyone! Whether you’re a long-term user of Bentley software, new to our products, or a professional curious about infrastructure technology trends, your perspective is valuable to us.
Depending on the research activity, you may be speaking with user researchers as well as other product team members interested in learning from your experience.
There are several ways to get involved, depending on the activity: from quick, lightweight surveys that take just a few minutes, to remote interviews and group discussions, all the way to early access programs and in‑person sessions where you can collaborate face‑to‑face.
We will only contact you with opportunities to collaborate on research. Your information is managed securely according to the Bentley Privacy Policy.
Remember, your participation is voluntary, you only need to reply to the research invites that interest you and you can opt-out from the program at any time.
Most of our research is conducted remotely, so you can participate from anywhere* in the world with a stable internet connection. Occasionally, we may host in-person sessions at Bentley offices or events for those who are local and interested.
* Bentley policy regarding eligible countries and sanctions may affect participation.
Your time commitment is entirely up to you. A quick survey might only take a few minutes, while a one-on-one discussion is typically about an hour. You can choose to participate in as many or as few opportunities as you like.
Your feedback helps us decide which features to build, how to improve our designs, and what matters most to the people using our software. To protect your privacy, all feedback is anonymized before being shared internally.
Your data is stored securely in compliance with GDPR and the Bentley Systems Privacy Policy. Only our core research team can access your contact information to invite you to studies. Your identity is separated from your feedback to ensure your insights remain anonymous.
