Findings from a Study of 249 Government Contractors in the United States Will Be Unveiled to Help Organizations Benchmark Themselves Against Peers and Identify Areas for Financial and Operational Improvements
HERNDON, Va. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 9, 2009 — Deltek, Inc. (Nasdaq: PROJ), the leading provider of enterprise applications software for project-focused businesses, today announced that it will host an event – Clarity ‘09 – to reveal the findings from one of the industry’s largest surveys of the Government contracting marketplace. Clarity ‘09, to be held on November 17th at the Tysons Corner Marriott near Washington, DC, will feature thought leaders from both Deltek and INPUT who will present the study results across 50 industry benchmarks.
In this era of increased competition for Federal dollars, the Government contractors that understand the drivers in the industry and what investments they need to make to be more competitive are best positioned to prosper in 2010 and beyond. After hearing the findings that will be unveiled at the event, attendees at Clarity ‘09 will be able to benchmark their financial, operational, and business development metrics against other industry leaders. The industry benchmarks presented at the event combined with insight into opportunities for process improvement will empower Clarity attendees to win more of the right business, improve financial performance, and develop strategies for achieving operational excellence.
The industry study presented at Clarity ‘09 will include aggregated data from 249 of the most successful Government contractors throughout the United States. Respondents represent multiple company types, from S Corps and LLCs, to some of the largest publically traded contractors in the country. In addition, respondents ranged in size from contractors with less than $10 million in revenue to companies with over $1 billion in annual sales. In addition to unveiling key findings, important questions about the Government contracting market will be answered at the event, including:
- Is the Government contracting market still growing even in the midst of these tough economic times?
- Are mergers and acquisitions still top of mind with Government contracting executives?
- How mature is the Project Management discipline inside most Government contractors even with Government mandates to keep projects on-time and on-budget?
- While it may seem obvious, do the larger, more technologically advanced contractors really have faster, more efficient business processes than smaller companies?
- In this new age of transparency, has the DCAA adopted a more confrontational stance with contractors?
Clarity ‘09 will be held at the Tysons Corner Marriott from 8:30 am to 10:30 am on November 17th. All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the “GovCon Industry Highlights Report” that contains all of the relevant statistics and analysis from the industry study.
