What’s Coming Next in Deltek PIM?

The Deltek PIM team is currently preparing for the next release and gaining valuable feedback on two new features through the early adopter program. The first feature is the new local file management functionality, which will replace the existing working files as well as introduce the new express check in feature to save users time. The second feature is the new universal document control (UDC) feature that will widen the lens of Deltek PIM by allowing businesses to connect PIM to external sources such as network folders. With this feature, users will be able to search from within Deltek PIM and find documents no matter where they reside.
