HERNDON, Va.--July 17, 2006--Deltek, the leading provider of enterprise management software for project-focused organizations, today announced the release of Deltek MissionFirst(TM), the first complete financial software system for grant-based nonprofits. Created specially for federal grant recipients, MissionFirst provides integrated, easy-to-use software that eliminates multiple spreadsheets, automates key business processes, and facilitates government compliance. With MissionFirst, nonprofits can for the first time effectively manage their grants, contracts and accounting information with a single integrated solution.

MissionFirst integrates grant tracking with financial data via a single global repository, allowing for improved accuracy of mission-critical grant information while eliminating disparate systems and manual data entry that many nonprofits rely on. Through integration of grant management and accounting data, nonprofits can create a real-time view into progress of each grant, enabling them to easily comply with cost standards set in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars.

"With MissionFirst, we will not have to use multiple spreadsheets to manage our grants - an exhaustive and chaotic process that can lead to numerous data inconsistencies," said Faye Boydstun, Chief Fiscal Control Officer at Little Dixie Community Action Agency, Inc., a nonprofit organization specializing in developing, executing and coordinating anti-poverty programs for southeast Oklahoma. "MissionFirst also allows us to easily comply with corporate governance standards by integrating automated grant tracking with easy-to-use reporting. Without these burdens, we can truly focus our energy on the mission at hand."

Available directly or through Deltek's reseller network, MissionFirst is easy to install and maintain, making it the most cost-effective solution on the market today.

"Limited budgets and IT infrastructure have forced many nonprofits to rely on disconnected manual systems, complicated spreadsheets, and other workarounds, to comply with grant reporting requirements," said Dan O'Shea, member and not-for-profit practice leader at the leading CPA firm Watkins Meegan Drury & Company, LLC, a charter Deltek Alliance Partner. "MissionFirst is designed to address these shortcomings, providing grant management, federal grant reporting and volunteer tracking in one fully integrated solution."

MissionFirst primarily serves A-133s, defined as nonprofit organizations that receive federal grants. Per OMB Circular A-133, nonprofits that receive $500,000 or more in direct or indirect federal grants in one year are subject to the audit requirements of A-133. By automatically allocating indirect costs to grants and contracts, as well as handling complex revenue calculations, MissionFirst integrates all key project data and enables real-time transparent reporting across an entire organization.

"With MissionFirst, Deltek is leveraging proven expertise working with thousands of customers in the government contracting and nonprofit industries for more than 20 years," said Kevin Parker, president and CEO of Deltek. "Addressing the unique, complex governance requirements of grant-based nonprofits, MissionFirst is the first complete financial software solution to help these organizations cost-effectively automate and streamline their business processes, and ultimately stay focused on their vital missions."
