TruePlanning® 2007 Launches at Joint ISPA-SCEA Conference

PRICE Systems' latest product release, TruePlanning® 2007—which features a System of Systems (SoS) estimating framework and cost models—was officially launched on June 12 in New Orleans at the Joint ISPA-SCEA International Conference and Workshop. TruePlanning 2007 offers several innovations for integrating hardware, software, Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and IT network components into a common, easy-to-use, SoS estimating framework. A new white paper by PRICE Systems President Anthony DeMarco brings into focus many of the SoS estimating challenges overcome with TruePlanning 2007. To arrange for a demonstration of TruePlanning 2007 advantages, contact Katherine Richardson or call 856.608.7206.

New Award Winning White Paper: The Evolution of Hardware Estimating

Just as Nintendo evolves gaming and Apple extends telecommunications with its new iPhone, PRICE Systems continually refines hardware estimation as technology improves at breakneck speeds. In a recent study, PRICE Research investigated the impact of evolving technology on the development and delivery of hardware components and systems. For example: "How does a cost model built in the 1970's have to grow to estimate hardware challenges in 2007 and beyond?" Survey findings on technology trends, obsolescence, systems engineering, COTS, integration and testing are discussed in this new white paper, which was presented by PRICE Chief Scientist Arlene Minkiewicz and awarded best paper for the Hardware Track at this month's Joint ISPA-SCEA Conference in New Orleans.
