When asked about this new partnership opportunity, Mark Richards, principal of E3Synergy said, “We felt it was important to develop our niche and properly focus and align our resources to best serve the organizations we have worked with over the past 17 years. We evaluated several areas and decided that training, standards development, and workflow consulting were key areas of improvement where we could provide immediate and positive impact for our clients. We also worked very closely with the Bentley Institute for the past several years, and felt it was important to provide continuity for our client base.”

Richards concluded, “This appointment by the Bentley Institute is an exciting growth opportunity for our staff as well, and we look forward to providing superior professional training at our facilities in the mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions.
