GovStart is a turn-key software solution that enables small and emerging government contractors to quickly and easily implement an end-to-end business development solution to manage their entire procurement lifecycle.

GovStart is an all-inclusive offering including:

• Deltek's industry-leading GovWin solution
• Hosted Services
• Quick-Start Implementation
• Ongoing Maintenance and Support
• Optional Pre-populated Pipeline of Government Opportunities, and
• Two-year, Lease-to-Own Financing Terms

The GovStart packaged offering features Deltek GovWin, a comprehensive business development and capture management software solution designed specifically for government contractors. GovWin manages the complete procurement cycle, from opportunity identification and management, to contract award, contract data management and closeout. Through combining GovWin with the necessary implementation and maintenance and support tools, the GovStart packaged solution will enable smaller government contractors the ability to get up-and-running quickly on a complete business development solution.

Hosted Services by Technology & Business Solutions (TBS)

GovStart will be available via a hosted service managed by Technology Business Solutions (TBS), a Deltek partner that specializes in providing hosted application services for government contractors and other project-based businesses. The hosting and quick-start implementation offered by TBS adds to the simplicity of the GovStart packaged offering by eliminating the burden of defining and developing an infrastructure and staff to support the solution and offers optional on-going functional support.

Pre-Populated Pipeline by FedSources

The optional pre-populated pipeline of opportunities defined by the customer's competency and customer focus is offered by Deltek partner, FedSources, the nation's premier provider of government market intelligence.

FedSources says that roughly one in four federal contract dollars spent goes to small businesses. "As national economic conditions compel more businesses, large and small, to seek opportunity in the $450 billion federal government market, tools like Deltek's GovStart can provide the jump-start that an emerging small business needs to win more business," said Ray Bjorklund, FedSources Senior Vice President and Chief Knowledge Officer.
