These awards recognize outstanding customer and partner achievements in improving business processes and performance, increasing profitability and winning new business.

Four organizations have been recognized as winners across four categories:

The winner of the Business Impact Award is Integrity Applications Incorporated (IAI), a veteran owned engineering services and software solutions company. IAI won the award based on the game-changing benefits they achieved implementing Deltek’s GCS Premier project accounting solution. In the past four years since going live on GCS Premier, IAI has tripled revenue and dramatically reduced the time it takes to close the books and generate invoices.

The winner of the Innovation Award is Sebesta Blomberg, a national leader in providing innovative engineering and consulting services to a variety of renowned private and public sector clients. Sebesta Blomberg won the award because of their innovative use of the VisionXtend platform to develop a risk management framework to track project risk throughout the entire project lifecycle. The Risk Management framework allows Sebesta Blomberg to identify potential problems with a project and put steps in place to solve those problems quickly and effectively.

The winner of the Implementation Award is ATK, a premier aerospace and defense company with more than 19,000 employees worldwide. ATK won the award based on the depth and breadth of their Deltek Costpoint implementation and the success they have achieved using the Costpoint family of products broadly across their organization. Costpoint is a key component of ATK’s “Enterprise Transformation” initiative which has enabled them to streamline business processes resulting in efficiency gains and cost savings across the organization. Their Deltek implementation spanned two divisions, thousands of users, and multiple sites across the United States.

The winner of the Partner Award is Jewell & Associates, a partner who successfully implemented Deltek Vision with ARH Associates, an industry leader in the field of engineering, surveying and environmental sciences. Jewell & Associates won the award for helping ARH Associates use Vision to increase visibility into firm performance, deliver projects on-time and on-budget, and lower operational costs.

“It is with great pleasure that we announced the four winners of our second annual Project Excellence Awards,” said Kevin Parker, President and CEO of Deltek. “Each of the four winners deserves to be recognized for the tremendous success they have achieved driving measurable benefits with Deltek solutions.
