Original Press Release:
MWH Soft Ships Third Generation of Industry-Preferred InfoWater Suite for Power ArcGIS Users in the Global Waterworks Industry
Major Innovations in Geospatial Modeling Deliver on Customers' Top Requests and Define New Era of Leadership in the Growing GIS Marketspace
Broomfield, Colorado USA, September 24, 2004 - Reinforcing its vanguard position in water resources applications software, MWH Soft, Inc., today announced the worldwide availability of InfoWater® Generation V3 for ArcGIS® (ESRI, Redlands, CA). The new release is designed to further advance enterprise geospatial hydraulic modeling and provide new benchmarks in quality, interoperability and performance. It marks the most significant milestone to date in the evolution of the company's ArcGIS-centric product, an industry standard for comprehensive water distribution geoengineering and the premier choice for major ENR design firms and large water utilities around the world.
In response to customer feedback, the new release introduces valuable user-driven enhancements and functionalities that make sophisticated hydraulic modeling applications easy to use and data more accessible for developing customized, multi-function enterprise GIS solutions. In addition to supporting the newly released ArcGIS 9.0 SP1, InfoWater V3 debuts automated merging and relabeling of any number of separate systems (e.g., different pressure zones) as well as redefining of the data frame limits of ArcGIS (i.e., changing of spatial reference). All modeling results, for any number of scenarios, are now automatically stored in an open database framework and can be quickly accessed for seamless enterprise integration. These improvements equip water utilities with unprecedented power to maximize their geospatial and modeling data by allowing strategic integration with multiple sources and corporate systems - resulting in better decision making and more economical operations.
The release underscores MWH Soft's commitment to be the leading provider of infrastructure modeling solutions for waterworks industry professionals working in the powerful ArcGIS environment. "To reduce costs, increase efficiencies, and improve infrastructure operations and management, water utilities need to consolidate their Enterprise infrastructure with modeling results and integrate GIS into the day-to-day discipline of numerous workflows," says Masoud Hoseyni, Ph.D, Vice President of DCSE, a leading software engineering firm headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California. The company specializes in development and implementation of enterprise GIS software products and services for the water industry. "Proprietary software that locks up information is not the best way to meet these goals. The powerful geodatabase underlying ArcGIS and InfoWater software offers an ideal solution, providing a central repository for all data types and formats used in water utility infrastructure management. InfoWater V3 makes a fundamental difference in the way GIS and engineering professionals collaborate, enabling them to produce projects of the utmost quality in record time. Enter data into the geodatabase once, and it becomes directly accessible for engineering flow analysis and other enterprise applications permanently. I applaud MWH Soft for its commitment to listening to their clients, embracing innovation, and making the investments necessary to create powerful, easy to use GIS-centric products that raise the bar in geospatial interoperability."
Built atop ArcGIS using the latest Microsoft component technology (Microsoft, Redmond, Washington) and ESRI ArcObjectsTM application framework, InfoWater Suite seamlessly integrates advanced water network modeling and optimization functionality with the latest generation of ESRI GIS technology. The groundbreaking application capitalizes on the intelligence and versatility of the geodatabase architecture to deliver new levels of geospatial analysis, infrastructure management and business planning for power ArcGIS users. InfoWater combines the industry's best tools with hallmark analysis and integration capabilities in a unique interoperable geospatial framework that provides a consistent user interface. The resulting centralized, multi-function system completely eliminates the need for inefficient, unreliable data synchronization, synching schemes, or middlelink interfaces required by other software - enabling exceptional performance, scalability, reliability, functionality and flexibility within the powerful ArcGIS environment. These factors and more translate to increased productivity, reduced costs, greater efficiency, and improved designs - giving water utilities a clear competitive advantage.
"MWH Soft's priorities have always been focused on advancing the frontiers of geospatial modeling technology and supporting its customers' successes by making them more productive and competitive," said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D, President and Chief Operating Officer of MWH Soft, Inc. "We're proud to know that InfoWater has become a mainstay of the GIS modeling community. Generation V3 is the latest way of delivering on our promise to equip customers with the ultimate ArcGIS-centric decision support tool for water distribution systems. We were determined that this release would once again set the standard for quality and high-end hydraulic infrastructure modeling and management. From top to bottom, its unrivalled cutting-edge integration capabilities, rich functionality, speed, stability, and ease of use are designed to enable world-record geospatial modeling performance."
