Managing deployments

aPriori provides flexible configuration options to best meet your security and operational requirements. Separation of data is achieved by creating a number of deployments within aPriori. Each deployment contains costing algorithms and previously costed scenarios. Access can be restricted so that users can only access certain deployments. This functionality provides a solution for companies that have groups which do not want to share information or must segregate products and components due to regulations such as iTar (International Traffic in Arms Regulations).

Here are some examples of how this can be used:

• A company can segregate users and the parts they cost, while maintaining a single repository for VPEs that can be accessed by all users.

• Test and training environments can be kept entirely separate from the production environment, allowing users to work without any risk to production data.

• Users who are distributed globally and who do not have the network performance to connect to a central database, can maintain a local deployment for each team.
