In 1967, management developed a growth strategy <br />focused on building a multidisciplinary professional services firm. In 1968, Broadview Research acquired <br />United Research Incorporated (URI) of Cambridge, Massachusetts. During this period, the name <br />Broadview Research Services was changed to United Research Services, which was later shortened to just <br />the initials URS. URS' corporate history of service dates back to 1904 through its legacy companies. URS' <br />financial stability is demonstrated by the fact that it is a publicly owned company listed on the New York and <br />Pacific Stock Exchanges as URS. <br /> <br />1.2 URS BACKGROUND <br /> <br />URS is a full-service, global organization with offices throughout the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe. <br />We have over 42,000 employees in a network of more than 300 offices and contract-specific job sites in 20 <br />countries.
