In addition, an effective cost management platform must include and support the extended enterprise of suppliers.
According to Frank Azzolino, president of aPriori Technologies, “Understanding of the impact on product costs of each decision made throughout the entire product development and delivery process before these decisions are made is not only unique but essential to meet the aggressive cost containment goals of manufacturing companies in today’s competitive climate. From early design decisions through the post production launch and delivery, aPriori provides real time predictive costs assessments detailing the effect on product cost of each decision being considered.
Cost relevant data and the application to create, manage and share that data must be available in a single platform. aPriori offers a single environment based on industry standard technology and architecture.
