Nashville, TN, Oct. 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Deltek, the leading global provider of enterprise software and solutions for project-based businesses, unveiled today at Deltek Insight 2017 its newest solution – Deltek for Professional Services. This solution represents a new focus on the Consulting industry and also represents Deltek’s reimagined offering for A&E firms. Deltek for Professional Services (DPS) has the means to change the way firms work – it’s built from the ground up for the modern workplace.

It’s made to be used from anywhere, and designed to work the way firms do to help them nurture client relationships, build profitable projects plans, and get the visibility they need into engagements through real-time metrics and dashboards.

For Consulting firms, it puts engagements, and the people who manage them, at the center of the firm – and with information in one place, firms have what they need to manage successful engagements.  The Deltek for Professional Services solution is:

• Specific to the Consulting Industry – It can be tailored for Consulting firms with terminology and processes Consulting teams will easily understand. DPS aligns with current firm business processes, making user adoption easier and faster.

• Purpose Built – Deltek for Professional Services was designed for the needs of every firm employee to be able to manage their part of the engagement. For Executives, this solution gives them an at-a-glance look into the health of their business; for Consultants and Engagement Managers, it gives them a single view of what the critical needs are right now; for Resource Managers, this solutions allows them to schedule the right people on the right engagements; and for Controllers and Finance leaders, it gives them one version of the truth and one system to help them manage their responsibilities.

• Engagement Centric – Designed with the engagement at the center of everything, Deltek for Professional Services includes budgeting, resource management, the general ledger and invoicing, ensuring Consulting firms have visibility and control so that every engagement is on time and profitable.

• People Focused – People resources are the greatest assets at Consulting firms, and they need to have the right people on the right engagements at the right time. DPS helps to prevent burnout, increase employee satisfaction and create a culture in which employees want to build their careers.

“We are changing the way we think about the user and will delight them with a modern and intuitive user experience designed to help them better manage the entire project lifecycle,” said Mike Corkery.  “Deltek for Professional Services is simple to use and easy to own, freeing up time for firms to focus on what’s really important– signing new logos and building their business.”

“As a growing number of companies provide services, such as consulting firms, they need ERP solutions that support the delivery of a project including the automation of an entire project-based enterprise,” said Mickey North Rizza, Program Vice President, Enterprise Applications and Digital Commerce at IDC. “Services organizations are demanding SaaS and cloud-enabled software from vendors with strong industry-specific expertise, deep customer references, and proven experience delivering measured value to the various services organizations.”
