When shopping for an implementation partner, there are several factors that organizations should consider before deciding.

Below are three must haves for your Deltek partner:

1. Tailored Deltek solutions

When looking for a Deltek implementation partner, the availability of tailored solutions that are designed to fit your organization’s needs is paramount. Every organization has unique needs, objectives and operation intricacies that require customized technological solutions for optimal efficiency and effectiveness. A partner who offers a tailored approach to implementations demonstrates a strong understanding of the product as well as the needs of government contractors, professional services firms and project-centric businesses. A more customized approach works to enhance the functionality and performance of Deltek solutions and facilitate seamless integration into existing processes and systems. Tailored technology solutions as an offering underscores the commitment of an implementation partner to deliver results that resonate with the customer’s strategic objectives.

2. Proven success with Deltek

Proven success with Deltek is of utmost importance when shopping for a Deltek implementation partner. Demonstrated success with Deltek implementations serves as a tangible testament to the partner’s proficiency, reliability and capability to deliver results. By showcasing past achievements and case studies, a potential Deltek partner substantiates its expertise and track record in deploying solutions that are tailored to diverse client demands. Proven success fosters trust and credibility, which are essential elements for establishing a successful partnership.

The availability of proven success within the Deltek partner underscores the partner’s commitment to excellence and serves as a factor in the decision-making process when selecting a technology implementation partner.

3. End to end focus

When evaluating Deltek technology implementation partners, an end-to-end process focus is significant. A partner’s ability to provide comprehensive solutions to not just the Deltek implementation itself but also the surrounding ecosystem ensures a seamless deployment. This method involves the understanding of the client’s whole business landscape such as processes, data flows and integration points to tailor the technology implementation appropriately. From the first assessment and planning, to configuration, customization, data migration, training and ongoing support. An end-to-end focus assures a holistic approach for the Deltek implementation that addresses each aspect of the implementation lifecycle. The importance of end-to-end focus for Deltek system integrators lies in their capacity to develop a cohesive and integrated solution that propels efficiency and organizational success.

When embarking on the journey of selecting a Deltek implementation partner, organizations must carefully consider several crucial factors. In evaluating system integrators, the combination of a focus on tailored technology solutions, a proven track record with Deltek and an end-to-end process focus with regard to implementation are critical.
