"Deltek is more than just a software company—it is a catalyst for operational excellence in project-based businesses."

In today’s rapidly evolving digital business environment, organizations must be agile, data-driven, and strategically aligned to stay competitive. For project-based businesses—whether in government contracting, architecture and engineering (A&E), consulting, or manufacturing—the complexity of operations demands solutions that can deliver real-time insights, drive efficiency, and ensure compliance. At the forefront of this transformation is Deltek, a global leader in software and information solutions for project-focused businesses.

With a legacy spanning more than four decades, Deltek has continuously evolved to meet the dynamic needs of its customers. Through its innovative suite of enterprise software solutions, Deltek enables organizations to unlock their full potential—streamlining operations, enhancing visibility, and optimizing project lifecycles from pursuit to delivery.

What sets Deltek apart is its commitment to developing software solutions that are purpose-built for project-based businesses. Unlike traditional ERP systems that are designed with generic workflows, Deltek’s offerings are engineered specifically for businesses whose operations revolve around projects.

One of Deltek’s flagship products, Deltek Costpoint, is a comprehensive ERP solution designed for government contractors. With powerful capabilities for managing finance, project accounting, compliance, and business intelligence, Costpoint enables government contractors to meet stringent regulatory requirements such as DCAA compliance while maximizing profitability. Its modular design offers flexibility and scalability, making it a preferred choice for both mid-sized businesses and large enterprises.

For architecture and engineering firms, Deltek Vantagepoint offers a modern, intuitive platform that integrates CRM, project management, resource planning, and financial management into one solution. Vantagepoint empowers firms to better manage their project pipelines, allocate resources effectively, and gain actionable insights—all from a single source of truth. Similarly, for consulting firms, Deltek’s Project Information Management (PIM) system provides a centralized hub to organize and access project emails, documents, and drawings—enhancing collaboration and ensuring version control across distributed teams.

Innovation is deeply embedded in Deltek’s DNA. The company continually invests in emerging technologies to ensure its customers are prepared for the future. Through the integration of AI and machine learning, Deltek solutions can now offer intelligent project forecasting, automate routine tasks, and identify risks before they impact project delivery. Deltek’s Cloud offerings further support digital transformation initiatives by giving customers access to secure, scalable, and always-available platforms. With cloud-based solutions, businesses benefit from faster deployment, lower infrastructure costs, and seamless updates—allowing teams to focus on core operations instead of IT maintenance. Moreover, Deltek’s integration capabilities ensure that its solutions can connect effortlessly with other business-critical tools, including Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce, and various HR and payroll systems. This interoperability allows for smoother workflows, eliminating silos and driving cross-functional efficiency.

Deltek’s approach to innovation is not just about technology—it’s about listening to its customers and co-creating value. Through its annual Deltek Insight Conference, the company gathers feedback directly from its users, shares product roadmaps, and showcases the latest advancements. This close collaboration ensures that Deltek’s offerings are always aligned with the real-world needs of its diverse customer base. Deltek also provides a robust Deltek Marketplace, where customers can access a curated selection of vetted partners and add-ons to extend the functionality of their solutions. This ecosystem fosters innovation and gives customers the tools they need to tailor solutions to their specific industry or business model.

Serving over 30,000 organizations worldwide, Deltek has established itself as a global force while maintaining a local touch. Its customer base includes leading government contractors, engineering and architecture firms, non-profits, and professional services organizations—spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Deltek’s global success is driven not only by its technology but also by its team of industry experts who bring deep domain knowledge and a consultative approach to customer engagement. From implementation to training and support, Deltek is committed to delivering a seamless experience that maximizes ROI.

For industries like government contracting and defense, compliance and security are non-negotiable. Deltek has established a strong reputation for delivering solutions that meet the highest standards of regulatory compliance. Deltek Costpoint, for instance, supports standards like DFARS, NIST SP 800-171, and CMMC, helping contractors maintain eligibility for government work. Deltek’s cloud solutions are built with enterprise-grade security, offering features such as multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, and data encryption to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of customer data.

As project-based businesses face increasing pressure to deliver more with less, the role of technology will only become more critical. Deltek is poised to lead this transformation by continuing to evolve its platform with advanced analytics, real-time reporting, and AI-powered decision support. Whether it’s winning new contracts, managing complex projects, or staying compliant in a regulated industry, Deltek empowers businesses to achieve more.

Deltek is more than just a software company—it is a catalyst for operational excellence in project-based businesses. Through its deep industry focus, innovative technology, and commitment to customer success, Deltek has redefined what it means to manage projects in the modern world. As industries continue to evolve, Deltek’s forward-looking approach ensures that its customers are always a step ahead.
