The Power of Partnership: Our Commitment to Building the Deltek Ecosystem

In today's rapidly changing business environment, companies must be agile and adaptive to stay competitive. Strategic partnerships are one way for businesses to gain a competitive edge by leveraging the strengths of other organizations. By forming these purposeful partnerships, companies can benefit from each other’s knowledge and resources to better serve their customers and create more value. This customer-first mindset is essential for success in today’s market, as customer expectations are higher than ever.

At Deltek, we understand that by working with partners who share our commitment to customer-first thinking, we can provide a more comprehensive suite of services while maintaining our focus on delivering exceptional experiences. Our partners are a critical element of our ecosystem, enabling us to provide world-class solutions to project-based businesses. They also play a strategic role in expanding our global reach, keeping our customers current on our latest technology and enhancing our product offerings.

Deltek’s Partner Program = A Win for Customers + Partners

Like many industry leaders, we are constantly reimagining how we meet our customers’ needs to help achieve the best possible results. Deltek partners help customers of all sizes, industries and countries use our innovative solutions to transform and simplify their businesses. At the same time, partners can also offer integration opportunities between products and services ─ allowing our customers to get more out of their investments.

In addition to improving value for the customer, partners can also help project-based businesses build a network of trusted providers who can offer support for any project or challenge that may arise. Partners can help extend the reach and effectiveness and provide additional services or expertise that may be cost-prohibitive for some customers to acquire.

Deltek is always looking for ways to help our customers and our partners be more successful. And we do this by delivering on our promise of providing solutions that connect and automate the project lifecycle.

“One way we are creating innovative opportunities for our partners is through Deltek Pro Bookkeepers,” shared Mike Hines, Vice President of Global Partnerships and Alliances. This unique program, launched last year, connects Deltek customers with trusted professionals from our ecosystem of vetted partners who are experienced in the needs of government contractors and have expert knowledge of Deltek Costpoint.

Together, Deltek Pro Bookkeepers helps small businesses say goodbye to third-party accounting tools and start seeing the benefits of a powerful project-based ERP solution faster and more affordably.

What Deltek Project Nation Can Expect in 2023

“There is no doubt that we will be continuing to modernize our partner ecosystem in 2023. One of our priorities for this upcoming year will include developing a world-class Global Systems Integrator program,” explained Mike when asked about what Deltek Project Nation can expect.

A native of North Carolina, Mike joined Deltek mid-last year. Having focused most of his career on building successful channel and alliance programs, he is looking forward to all the innovative things Deltek can accomplish this year. “I am particularly excited about our new leadership team, with new faces from outside the company, who will be supporting the GSI initiative and helping us build this amazing program.”

“Additionally, we are looking forward to collaborating with our partners to develop more extensibility offerings to help us go after new industries that would be a good fit for our project-based solutions," he shared.

Mike went on to say, “Based on my 25 years of channel experience, collaboration is the biggest key to organizations succeeding.  So, as we progress, I’m eager to see Deltek continue to grow through the power of our partners.”
