It demonstrates how our purposeful innovation is driven by the increased value customers gain when we combine emerging technologies and new, more efficient ways to complete all types of business processes, to include those unique to government contractors.

Behind the scenes, Costpoint 8 is: an expanded Cloud team, an expanded Product Strategy team, millions of lines of code, hundreds of federal regulation updates, pervasive artificial intelligence, new APIs, testing, testing, testing, new support for Business Development roles, what-if, how-to, and who-can see it logic, tighter integration, high levels of configurability, new security levels, early adapter champions, many late nights, many discoveries, lots of caffeine, and hundreds of pieces of candy.  It is the continued investment in making Costpoint do more for you by providing more automation to control costs, and numerous usability enhancements to delight end users - all driving toward powering your project success.
