aPriori and JLG Industries will present on Enterprise Cost Management at the conference.
Concord, MA, May 25 2007 – aPriori, the leading provider of Enterprise Cost Management solutions for discrete product and manufacturing companies today announced that they will be exhibiting and presenting at the 2007 PTC/USER World Event in Tampa, Florida from June 3-6, 2007 as a Silver Level Conference Sponsor.
aPriori has been a Gold partner with PTC for over three years and in 2005 was awarded "Innovative Software Partner of the Year" by PTC for its new and groundbreaking software platform for Enterprise Cost Management. aPriori is tightly integrated to Pro/ENGINEER®, providing real-time, predictive and precise product cost assessments to users directly within their MCAD environment. Additionally, other functions, from manufacturing engineers and planners, to purchasing and sourcing professionals and program managers have full visibility to product costs through aPriori. This enables them to identify quantifiable savings in material, tooling, labor and overhead cost, while evaluating alternative designs, manufacturing processes and vendor sources, ultimately driving a reduction in their Cost of Goods Sold (COGS).
"We are excited to be sponsoring the PTC/USER World Event this year," said Frank V. Azzolino, President and CEO of aPriori. "We look forward to sharing information on our latest product release, aPriori v5.0 and to present several excellent case studies with one of our leading customers, JLG Industries."
The aPriori Partner Presentation "Determine Product Costs Quickly, Accurately, and Early in your Development Process" will be on Tuesday, June 5 at 3:30 pm. Corey Raymo from JLG Industries will present several case study examples. Also, please visit us at Booth 414 in the exhibit hall for hands on product demonstrations and overviews, and enter our raffle to win one of two 8MP digital cameras.
