Annual awards show celebrates New England's most innovative achievements
aPriori, a provider of product cost management software solutions for discrete manufacturers, was selected as the winner in the category of Best Business Operations Simplifier at the 2012 MITX Innovation Awards.
The Best Business Operations Simplifier category at the MITX Awards recognizes innovative technologies that fundamentally improve how organizations tackle their most challenging internal tasks. aPriori targets a highly complex and universal problem for manufacturers that can normally only be addressed by highly trained cost experts within the organization. Its Product Cost Management software platform can be used by anyone in the product development or manufacturing organization that impacts product cost. Users can quickly and precisely determine the cost of any part or product design by automatically pulling geometric and feature information from a computer-aided design (CAD) model. This enables substantial cost savings and time-to-market advantages while also accelerating product innovation.
The annual MITX Innovation Awards program is the largest awards competition of its kind, celebrating the innovations powering the future of marketing and revolutionizing the way we work and play. The MITX Award winners were announced in 13 general categories, "Best of Show for Innovative Business," the PwC Promise Award, and People's Choice Awards for Class President & Vice President for the model class of 2011, at a sold out ceremony held on June 12th, 2012 at the Westin Copley Place.
"The Innovation Awards offer an opportunity for us to come together and celebrate the incredible achievements of New England's innovation economy. The ingenuity and focus possessed by this year's winners is truly inspiring," said MITX President Debi Kleiman. "MITX is very proud to host this program and showcase some of the best work that our community is producing right now."
Judges for the MITX Innovation Awards included over 100 industry professionals representing various disciplines including CEOs, marketers, technologists, strategists, investors, designers, and business professionals.
