TruePlanning SR3: SoS Cost Modeling Now Available in Beta VersionA beta version of True Systems 2006 is now available with TruePlanning® Service Release 3 (SR3), fulfilling PRICE Systems' goal of delivering a "true" Systems of Systems (SoS) cost estimating capability. An enhanced Assembly cost object and three new SoS cost objects with True Systems 2006 are capable of interacting with cost objects from any of the other True catalogs. SR3 also includes enhancements to TruePlanner hardware, software, and IT estimating; knowledge management; and usability. Look for SR3 to arrive in the mail within the next two weeks. Two Week Countdown: International Symposium in Prague Nov. 15-17More accurate estimates of software systems and System of Systems cost and management challenges will be among topics of presentations, workshops, and customer success stories at PRICE Systems' 26th Annual International Symposium to be held this year in Prague on November 15 to 17. This spectacular event also provides the best opportunities to network with customers from around the world and meet face-to-face with PRICE researchers, developers, and senior management. Join us in Prague for the latest insights on how Program Affordability Management continues to solve the toughest cost estimating and project management challenges.

PRICE Systems Wins Major Contract with IRSPRICE Systems announces the win of a very competitive contract with an estimated value of $10 million to supply cost and schedule estimation and analysis solutions to the Internal Revenue Service. The award continues a banner year for PRICE whose Government Solutions Division in Arlington, Virginia has, within the last four months, been awarded similar major contracts from the U.S. Navy, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of the Interior, and the U.S. General Services Administration. Independent Government Project ValidationFREE 45-minute Webinar, White Paper, and Market Survey Report
In 2006, the OMB's Office of Electronic Government and Information Technology (OEGIT) required Government agencies to perform a mandatory independent validation of cost, schedule, and performance goals for all major IT projects. PRICE System's Government Solutions Division has since taken the pulse of Federal Program Managers to identify best practices and trends in Federal IT cost management through an independently contracted market survey entitled "Keeping Federal IT Programs within Budget." This Webinar will share an overview of survey results, and discuss how programs and agencies can build an independent government estimating team to ensure their success and compliance. 
PRICE Systems' Zachary Jasnoff Among Featured Speakers at SoS WorkshopZachary Jasnoff, Director of Development Projects at PRICE Systems will be among featured industry experts sharing insights at a two-day workshop on "Decision Tools for Complex System of Systems Engineering" November 13-14 at the Hilton Hotel in Pasadena, California. Zach's presentation on "Total Ownership Cost and Performance Based Modeling" will highlight the need to estimate System-of-Systems (SoS) costs in a model capable of combining hardware and software cost objects. The workshop, presented by Phoenix Integration, will focus on the advantages and trends of modeling and simulation to estimate and optimize complex SoS programs, with widespread applications throughout government agencies and commercial engineering enterprises. |
