Broomfield, Colorado USA, November 15, 2006 — MWH Soft, a leading global provider of environmental and water resources applications software, today announced the launch of its Professional Services Division. Comprised of industry-savvy veterans and engineers as well as leading GIS and modeling specialists, MWH Soft Professional Services offer customers a competitive edge, providing the expert engineering analysis and in-depth implementation know-how they need to construct and maintain network models quickly, reliably and efficiently.
