Description: aPriori sells its products using a Named User, Annual Subscription model.  Each deployment consists of a Foundation module that includes all of the core product features to study manufacturability and product cost.  Foundation models are sized and priced based upon the scale of the deployment.  Other configurable items for a deployment include the different types of manufacturing cost models required by the customer.  And, customers also will select from a catalog of regional data libraries which represent different manufacturing regions around the world.  Finally, customers will choose a package of named end user licenses.  aPriori can be deployed in either an on-premise or cloud-based SaaS model.
