<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Thomas Przybilla<\/h3><\/div>Partner & Head of Software Development<\/strong><\/p>\nIn early 1993 Thomas Przybilla was very instrumental in developing and creating the first parametric model running on a personal computer. He is educated in software engineering and software programming. His ability to convert technical information into the parametric model\u2019s core has made him an expert in parametric software programming. This innovation in estimation set the base for many new features in the field of parametric cost estimation. We are the pacemaker of parametric costing. Since the beginning, the basic parametric model 4cost-aces has been enhanced with many new features, like the calculation of total cost of ownership (TCO), also referred to as life-cycle cost (LCC) or the cost boundaries calculations using the mathematical \u201cMonte-Carlo\u201d approach. Thomas and his team of software engineers and developers are constantly improving the 4cost software. He is one of the driving forces for innovation and improvement at 4cost.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5671,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6458","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
