Carl, A couple of years ago, ProModel was in the $15,000 price range. You'll also want to consider annual maintenance contracts (upgrades, support desk, etc.). Alternatively, they offer a simpler, less powerful program called Process Model in the $1,500 range. -Steve Steven K. Lustig Process Engineer EMS Technologies, Inc.
