HERNDON, Va.--June 5, 2006--Deltek, the leading provider of enterprise management software for project-focused organizations, today announced the release of Deltek Vision 4, the latest edition of Deltek's industry-leading enterprise resource and project planning software solution. For the first time, Deltek Vision integrates planning, tracking and project administration features with innovative functionality such as Visualization and mobile access, to create a unique, powerful solution that streamlines all facets of the project-based business. Available as a complete enterprise-class suite or as a preconfigured solution designed to meet the needs of smaller firm, Deltek Vision is the only software solution designed to help professional services firms of all sizes improve their business performance management, streamline their operations and execution, and win more business.
Visualization is a powerful management tool that empowers businesses to take control of their data and quickly turn it into actionable information. A mission-critical technology in the financial services marketplace for many years, Deltek has harnessed the power of Visualization for the project-focused organization with the release of Deltek Vision 4, enabling engineering and architecture firms, IT services companies and management consulting firms to instantly discover trends and opportunities across their entire project portfolio. Visualization provides a simple display that depicts mission-critical information about a firm's entire business -- including project performance, status, trends and risks -- using color and shapes to alert viewers of any performance issues at a glance, and allowing them to focus on the most critical issues.
"With Deltek's introduction of Visualization to the market, there is now a unique tool that decision-makers can use to turn complex information analysis into an actionable understanding of their project performance and ultimately their firm's health," said Ian Rusk, senior vice president of ZweigWhite, the nation's leading source of management consulting, information, and education for the design and construction industry.
Deltek Vision 4 also introduces a new Mobile Applications Suite, significantly enhancing capabilities that allow field workers to collect and provide their project data more simply than ever before. For the first time, project managers and consultants can work offline or from their wireless PDAs and smart phones, contributing to project reports and entering critical information, including time and expense data, when they are not connected to the network. Businesses can now streamline field reporting without requiring large hardware investments.
"With Deltek Vision, we are able to effectively track and manage revenue and manpower projections, enabling us to make empowered business decisions that fully support our growth goals," said Marcy Martin, controller at WHR Architects, Inc., a 140-employee full-service architectural and interior design firm. Headquartered in Houston, WHR Architects specializes in the design of healthcare, higher education and research facilities nationally.
"The new industry-leading Visualization technology, mobile capabilities and other significant enhancements in Vision 4, underscore Deltek's unique focus on providing software solutions for project-driven businesses," said Kevin Parker, president and CEO of Deltek. "Deltek Vision is the latest example of our commitment to providing industry-leading solutions that help project-focused organizations improve their performance, streamline their operations and win more business."
