Deltek Announces Powerful Enhancements for Vantagepoint, Including First-of-Its-Kind Benchmarking Capabilities Incorporating Deltek Clarity Study Data

The latest updates drive better decision-making, increased efficiency and improved collaboration for Architecture & Engineering Firms

Herndon, VA – March 6, 2025 – Deltek, the leading global provider of software and solutions for project-based businesses, today announced innovative updates to Deltek Vantagepoint™, its gold-standard ERP solution for the Architecture and Engineering (A&E) and Consulting industries.

For the first time, Vantagepoint users can view and incorporate data from the industry-leading Deltek Clarity Architecture and Engineering Study directly within Vantagepoint dashboards. The study is fielded annually and surfaces critical insights based on data collected from hundreds of A&E firms. For firm leaders and executives, benchmarking against industry standards is critical to remaining competitive and staying aware of organizational performance on an ongoing basis.

Ten years of historical North America data from the Deltek Clarity Architecture & Engineering Industry Study are available within Vantagepoint dashboards. Users can select relevant benchmarking data, filter it by year and segment across firm type, size, and more. Users can then compare their company's key performance indicators against industry standards, gaining valuable insights to determine where teams are performing well compared to the industry and where there is room for improvement.

"We are thrilled to bring these game-changing updates to Vantagepoint users, enabling them to compare their own data against the Deltek Clarity findings to make more informed business decisions," said Megan Miller, Sr. Director of Product Marketing at Deltek. "Clarity has set the standard for providing key industry data for decades, and we’re proud that A&E firms can now seamlessly leverage it to measure performance, right within Vantagepoint. This will transform business intelligence by giving firms clear, actionable insights into where they excel and opportunities for improvements.”

Vantagepoint is continuing to make the project lifecycle smarter for users with additional features to boost productivity, efficiency, and collaboration. Learn more about the new capabilities at a webinar on April 15.
