Baseline Magazine and PRICE Systems Collaborate on ROI Calculator for COTS

PRICE and Baseline Magazine, leading project management publication focusing on IT solutions, developed a workbook planner on calculating the cost of Commercial Off-the-Shelf Systems (COTS) development. Baseline's planners and assessments help readers understand the key financial and management concepts needed to successfully implement technology projects.

PRICE Systems' TruePlanning® software was used in the development of this workbook planner. TruePlanning provides both a methodology and visibility into the risk areas for the selection, control and delivery of COTS projects.
