aPriori Announces Global Expansion of Product Cost Management Solution at AGCO
aPriori announced that AGCO Corporation is expanding their deployment of the aPriori Product Cost Management solution to additional sites in the United States, Finland and France after a successful initial deployment.
“This expansion represents an important step forward in our deployment of aPriori at AGCO,” said Garry Ball, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Engineering. “The real-time access to precise cost information that aPriori provides has proven to be a critical element in our overall campaign to reduce costs and manage profitability in these difficult economic times. With aPriori, our design and manufacturing engineers immediately understand the implications of each and every tradeoff decision they make throughout the course of their daily work. We look forward to continuing to drive value from this partnership as new users and facilities deploy the technology.”
“We are very excited that AGCO has chosen to expand their aPriori deployment to additional engineering centers throughout the world,” said Stephanie Feraday, President and CEO at aPriori. “This is a real vote of confidence from a world class manufacturer that has put our product through its paces, and determined that it truly delivers on the promise of measurable cost savings. We look forward to working with AGCO to ensure this expansion is equally successful as their first deployment.”
