Work Smarter with the New Costpoint User Experience

A Bold New Chapter Begins

The latest release of Costpoint marks the start of a new era in how government contractors work. More than an update, it is a significant pivot toward a more intuitive, intelligent and empowering experience for project-based businesses.

From a sleek new interface to embedded AI capabilities that work alongside you, every enhancement in the latest release of Costpoint is designed to cut the clutter, reduce friction and help your team stay focused on what matters. Whether you are managing compliance, tracking project health or onboarding new users, this reimagined user experience (UX) makes it easier and more effective than ever before.

Welcome to the Future of Work

You already trust Costpoint to power your projects, now experience it like never before.

The new user interface (UI) is built on Deltek Harmony™, our modern design framework that brings clarity, consistency and innovation to your daily work. Unveiled last year at Deltek ProjectCon, Deltek Harmony provides a foundation for a seamless user experience ensuring that as your business grows, your tools evolve with you.

With the completely reimagined interface, it is easier to navigate, faster to learn and designed to deliver value from day one. It is a change that enhances usability, productivity and visual appeal, all without disrupting what already works.

Drag-and-Drop Functionality and Multi-Screen Display for More Project Control: Tailor your workspace to match how you work best. With the new drag-and-drop capabilities, easily customize your Menu by pinning your most-used applications. Need to attach a file to a project? Simply drag it in. Plus, with multi-screen display support, you can compare data, monitor dashboards and manage tasks across multiple windows - creating a more flexible and efficient project experience.

This is especially helpful for complex workflows that require you to frequently reference information, like comparing financial reports across periods or cross-checking project details with budgets.

These strategic design changes mark an exciting evolution in Costpoint’s journey.

Taking UX to the Next Level: The Costpoint Command Center

At the heart of the new UX is the Costpoint Command Center - a powerful, role-based workspace built for project analysts and decision-makers.

Instead of relying on static reports or sifting through multiple modules, the Command Center surfaces what matters most right away. Think of project variances, revenue milestones and resource issues, front and center, with direct links to take action fast.

Use it as a launchpad for your next move and strategy.

  • Tailored views based on your role and security permissions.
  • Interactive charts and KPIs that let you drill down into the data.
  • One-click access to relevant screens, reports or actions.

In short, it brings clarity to complexity so you can act faster, with confidence.

A Smarter UX, Powered by AI

The new Costpoint experience is not just a visual upgrade, it is more intelligent, too. Complementing the sleek user interface are expanded AI capabilities that work together with the new design that help your team stay focused on critical priorities.

With AI-powered features like Ask Dela, Smart Summaries and Dela Agents, users can get answers faster, automate manual tasks and surface insights without leaving the screen. It is all part of a UX designed to help teams move ahead with less friction.

Customizable Ask Dela can now pull from your company’s own documentation, delivering more relevant and accurate answers.

Smart Summaries offer quick insights into project health, along with customer, vendor, contract and employee performance.

Dela-powered Agents automate manual tasks like timesheet entry, expense creation, and contract record creation, freeing up your team to focus on more strategic work.

Together, these tools create a UX that works harder for you.
