Case Study: a University Affiliated Research Center gains early cost analysis insight with PRICE TruePlanning from PRICE Systems

Price Trueplanning helps Researchers Evaluate Cost Considerations As Part of Technology Recommendations

A university affiliated research center (UARC) that provides engineering research to the Department of Defense faced the challenge of incorporating cost implications into its technical recommendations. To make earlier and more informed decisions on economically viable design alternatives, they turned to PRICE Systems and its PRICE TruePlanning cost estimating framework.

The solution implemented by PRICE provided the UARC with a parametric estimating tool and vital historical data. This enabled the center to perform early conceptual analyses and deliver credible "what-if" scenarios to decision-makers. The results included more tightly refined recommendations for clients and an anticipated improvement in future relationships with other PRICE users due to a shared frame of reference.
