Tier S · Published prices

Infrastructure engineering software (STAAD.Pro, OpenRoads, ProjectWise)

Bentley Systems makes engineering software for infrastructure, including STAAD.Pro for structural design, OpenRoads Designer for roads, MicroStation for CAD and ProjectWise for project delivery. It publishes USD prices for 12-month Virtuoso subscriptions on its website, with enterprise licensing by quote. Bentley lists no Oman office; its nearest offices are in Dubai and Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia.

Pros

+ Published prices for single licences (USD, 12-month subscriptions)
+ Structural, road and CAD design tools from one vendor
+ ProjectWise for shared project documents and delivery
+ Oman's OQ won a Bentley Going Digital Award in 2022 (Times of Oman)

Cons

− Engineering design software, not site admin or accounting
− No Oman office or confirmed Oman partner
− Annual per-user subscriptions paid upfront
− Specialist tools with a learning curve for each discipline

Oman note

Most relevant to structural, road and utility design work rather than general contracting or bookkeeping. Times of Oman reported in December 2022 that OQ won one of Bentley's Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure. Bentley lists no Oman office, so ask who supports it locally before you buy.

Typical Oman pricing: Published on bentley.com in USD, per 12-month Virtuoso subscription for one licence: STAAD.Pro from $3,995, STAAD.Pro Advanced from $5,490, Structural WorkSuite from $6,097, Bentley Infrastructure Cloud Connect from $312 and ProjectWise from $960.

TallyPrime

Tier A · Listed

Accounting and inventory software, sold in Oman through a Muscat dealer

TallyPrime from Tally Solutions is accounting, inventory and invoicing software, sold as Silver for a single user and Gold for multiple users on monthly, yearly or lifetime licences; Tally says 2.7M+ businesses use it. Its Middle East site covers UAE and Saudi VAT only, but Times of Oman reported a VAT-ready release for Oman in March 2021. The Muscat dealer behind tally-oman.com, Rawat Al Makan, says it configures Oman VAT invoicing and returns.

Pros

+ Lifetime licence option as well as monthly and yearly plans
+ Accounting, inventory and invoicing in one package
+ Muscat dealer offers Oman VAT set-up, migration and training
+ Tally's partner locator covers Oman

Cons

− No Oman page or OMR prices on Tally's own site
− No Fawtara e-invoicing claim found for Oman
− Accounting and inventory, not construction management
− Rental plans renew automatically until cancelled

Oman note

If your books already live in Tally, the Muscat dealer says it configures Oman VAT invoicing and VAT return reports. Tally's own Middle East site does not mention Oman or Fawtara, so ask the dealer how Tally will connect to Oman's e-invoicing system before your phase starts.

Typical Oman pricing: Quote-based in Oman: the Muscat dealer asks buyers to contact it for OMR prices. Tally sells TallyPrime Silver (single user) and Gold (multi-user) on 1-month, 3-month, 12-month and lifetime plans; its Middle East buy page says plans start at AED 78 but lists plan prices only in Indian rupees, with no OMR amounts.
