PRICE Systems Launches Enhanced Training Website with Courses Newly Approved by Project Management Institute (PMI)
Gaining the Skills to Increase Estimating Accuracy Just Got Easier
MT. LAUREL, New Jersey - September 16, 2008 - A new and improved training and course registration website, complete with new course offerings, was announced today by PRICE Systems (www.pricesystems.com) the world leader in estimation tools and solutions and developer of the newly released TruePlanning® 2008. The new course offerings, particularly those focusing on estimating and modeling, were developed with project managers, cost engineers, and application developers in mind. In addition, the Project Management Institute (PMI) has evaluated and approved seven PRICE Systems’ courses for professional development unit (PDU) credits.
"Never in our history has more pressure been placed on companies to deliver world class projects on time and on budget. Therefore, we are responding by providing the critical training companies need for their project managers to become more accurate estimators," said PRICE Systems President and Managing Partner Anthony DeMarco. "Too many companies are losing money by not realizing their expected return on their investments. This is because they are unable to accurately estimate the scope, costs, benefits, and risks necessary to optimize their projects. From project planning and budgeting to execution and tracking, companies are too often complacent with inaccuracy and that seriously impedes their success."
Professionals hoping to improve their estimating accuracy can now easily access information, view upcoming classes, and register for courses that focus on the fundamentals of estimating and analysis methods. Additionally, other courses offered detail the methodologies needed to improve organizational estimating capabilities using PRICE’s state-of-the art tools and solutions. All classes are led by industry experts with real life experience. The address for the new and improved training and course registration website is: www.pricesystems.com/services/training_overview.asp
Further, as a PMI Global Registered Education Provider (REP), the following PRICE Systems courses were approved by PMI for PDU credits necessary for Project Management Professionals (PMPs) to retain their PMI certification:
- PRICE Hardware Lifecycle (PRICE HL) 32 PDUs
- PRICE Software (PRICE S) 32 PDUs

- TruePlanning - Hardware 32 PDUs
- TruePlanning - IT Infrastructure 32 PDUs
- TruePlanning - Systems 16 PDUs

According to DeMarco, "These hands-on training classes, coupled with PRICE University’s Web based training courses, and our PMI Global REP status, provide professionals with a unique ability to increase their job performance and ultimately impact their organization’s bottom line."
