Wright Williams & Kelly, Inc. Lowers Cost of Ownership Software License Fees

Reduces Licensing of TWO COOL® from 10 Seats to 1, Includes Training

February 23, 2009 (Pleasanton, CA) –Wright Williams & Kelly, Inc. (WWK), the world’s experts in the application of cost of ownership (COO) for manufacturing environments, announced a reduction in its entry-level pricing through the creation of a new 1-seat license. Previously, TWO COOL®, WWK’s flagship COO and overall equipment efficiency (OEE) software, was licensed with a minimum of 10 seats.

“It has been over a decade since we offered a 1-seat license to TWO COOL®,” stated David Jimenez, WWK’s President. “Capex reductions are negatively impacting the supplier side of our client base. However, this is the ideal time for our clients to invest in improving their cost competitiveness and WWK is dedicated to helping them achieve these goals with the smallest cash outlay possible.”

Through the end of May 2009, WWK is offering a 1-seat license for $4,995; included in that price is free attendance to the training class “Understanding and Using Cost of Ownership” which will be held at SEMICON West/InterSolar 2009 on July 16 at the San Francisco Marriott. Further, WWK will provide a 100% credit of the 1-seat license price against any larger license through the end of 2009.
