Navigating a Shifting Market for Government Contractors

Government contractors are facing a complex environment in 2025. Increased regulatory scrutiny, evolving cybersecurity mandates, and tighter competition for federal dollars are reshaping how firms operate. To thrive, contractors must embrace smarter tools, streamline operations, and ensure compliance without sacrificing speed. That’s where Costpoint and Deltek ProjectCon come in, keep reading to learn how.

Take Advantage of All That Costpoint 2025.3 Has to Offer

By the time Deltek ProjectCon arrives in November, existing Costpoint Cloud customers will be operating on the latest release, 2025.3.

Smarter Decisions with AI: How Costpoint Elevates GovCon Performance

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept—it’s a present-day advantage for government contractors using Costpoint. In 2024 Deltek introduced Deltek Dela, your AI-powered intelligent business companion, designed to simplify complexity, accelerate decision-making, and automate routine tasks. Dela’s AI suite of tools has grown exponentially since its release and now in addition to the Ask Dela Digital Assistant and Smart Summaries, Costpoint now leverages Dela Agents. These are task-specific, intelligent automation components that take action on behalf of the user. With the release of Costpoint 2025.3, Dela Agents are now being used to automate timesheets or purchase orders approvals, generate and populate expense reports and create contract records from contract documents.
