Case Study: Command & Control System achieves a credible, profitable bid with PRICE Systems

Command & Control System - Customer Case Study

A developer of command and control systems, a relative newcomer to the field, faced the challenge of submitting a credible and profitable bid against more experienced competitors. Their strategy required a low but realistic price, particularly for the software-intensive project. To achieve this, they partnered with PRICE Systems and utilized the PRICE S software estimating tool to impose a target cost on the design process from the very beginning.

PRICE Systems implemented a novel approach by merging a cost estimator with the technical director to evaluate design alternatives against the target cost. This process quickly identified a solution using a common core software package, which reduced overall development effort. The result was a smoother, more consistent proposal process that was less stressful for the team and ultimately produced a bid that was both competitive and credible.
