The New Deltek Costpoint Experience: Smarter Design. Same Trusted Power.

At Deltek, we’ve always believed that great software solutions should evolve with those who use them. That’s why the new Deltek Costpoint experience is more than just a redesign—it’s a reimagination of how modern government contractors work, collaborate and grow.

This transformation is grounded in deep customer insights. Through extensive research, usability labs and direct feedback, we’ve built a more innovative, sleeker interface that meets the expectations of today’s workforce —and tomorrow’s possibilities. By embracing the generational shift in technology use, we’ve ensured that Costpoint delivers an experience that’s not only intuitive and responsive but also adaptable and ready for the future.

But design is just the beginning. AI and automation are reshaping how businesses operate, and we’re embedding intelligence at every step of the Costpoint experience. From AI agents to role-based insights and conversational interfaces in tools like Microsoft Teams, we’re making it easier than ever to get work done.

As we continue to innovate, we’re also staying focused on what matters most: building and maintaining your trust. That’s why security and compliance remain foundational to everything Deltek does. With built-in support for evolving standards like CMMC and an industry-leading cybersecurity posture, Costpoint continues to deliver the peace of mind our customers rely on.

With a smarter design and the same trusted power, the new Costpoint will automate the routine, elevate the experience and protect what matters—so you can focus on driving impact for your business and your customers.

Designed for how you work.

Today’s workforce expects more from its software—and rightly so. It’s not just about functionality anymore; it’s about helping people work smarter, faster and more instinctively. That’s why we’ve reimagined Costpoint’s user experience to meet users where they are and support how they get work done.

Whether a contractor enters a timesheet or manages a complex project, their tools need to guide them clearly and efficiently. In the latest Costpoint release, we’ve modernized the user interface (UI), making it more intuitive, more accessible, and more responsive to the needs of every user—regardless of their role, device or where they may be working. At the core of this evolution is Deltek Harmony™, a design framework that brings consistency and clarity across our portfolio of solutions. The Harmony experience ensures that navigation is predictable and purposeful and adapts to the user, not vice versa.

These enhancements extend beyond the traditional desktop. Costpoint integrates with everyday tools like Microsoft Teams and Outlook, allowing users to complete tasks—including submitting time and expenses—without ever opening the whole application. Whether through a browser, a mobile device, or a conversational interface, we’re ensuring Costpoint is accessible wherever work happens, making you more efficient and productive.

Intelligence at every step.

We’re seeing a real change in how users expect software to work. It’s no longer enough just to store data or run reports. Government contractors want systems that help them think, act and move faster—and that’s exactly where we’re taking Costpoint.

With this release, we’ve made some significant strides in how intelligence shows up across the project lifecycle. We’re introducing Dela agents that go beyond simple automation. These agents are designed to take on specific tasks, like our new Contract Agent, which accelerates the creation of contract records. It’s not just about saving time; it’s about shifting the role of software from something you use to something that actively helps you get work done.

Another exciting AI development for Costpoint users is the ability to upload their own documentation and have Ask Dela answer questions based on your organization’s specific processes, ensuring users follow company procedures such as travel and expense or internal training guidelines.

In addition, Costpoint users can now Ask Dela more complex, analytical questions—like which projects have outstanding receivables, or which customers are past due—and Ask Dela will walk you through the data, not just the numbers, but the context behind them. What’s causing the delay? What action should you take? That kind of insight provides contractors with the insight they need to take quick action without searching multiple systems or a lot of manual digging.

Role-based insights that drive action.

One of the biggest opportunities today is helping users not just find the information they need—but know what to do with it. In Costpoint, everything is role-based and security-aware, so users only see what’s relevant to them. A time-entry user sees a streamlined interface focused on speed and simplicity, while a project manager, on the other hand, gets access to deeper functionality and more robust tools.

With this release we’ve launched a new Command Center, which brings together the tools, data and visual insights that project managers and analysts need most. Think of it as a one-stop-shop for checking project status, spotting issues and taking quick action. It’s more than a dashboard—it’s a working environment that blends enterprise functionality with real-time visibility.

But this is just the beginning. We’re building out more command centers for other roles across Costpoint, each tailored to the specific needs and workflows of the people using them.

Built-in governance and control.

There’s a lot of noise about compliance in the market. But here’s the truth: real compliance isn’t just about where your infrastructure sits. It’s about how the entire service is built, operated and secured—and it’s what sets Deltek apart.

We’ve recently achieved FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency for our GCCM cloud offering, which was validated by a third-party assessor. That’s not just a certification, it’s a comprehensive audit of our operations: our people, processes and technology. Very few ERP providers can say they can meet that standard. This level of compliance built into Costpoint gives government contractors confidence that their data is protected—not just at the infrastructure level but across the entire solution.

Deltek also helps government contractors support cybersecurity requirements like CMMC. With the new Costpoint experience and our industry-leading cybersecurity posture, you can ultimately demonstrate compliance and grow with confidence. This gives Costpoint users a competitive edge. If your SaaS provider isn’t FedRAMP Moderate Authorized or Equivalent, you could be putting your contracts at risk.

Powering the Future of Government Contracting

The new Costpoint isn’t just an upgrade—it reflects of how government contractors and project-based businesses are evolving. With a modernized user experience, deeper automation, and built-in intelligence that delivers real-time, actionable insights, this release is designed to help teams work more efficiently, stay compliant, and adapt to what’s next.

Backed by a purpose-built platform and a team that understands the unique demands of the government contracting industry, Costpoint continues to deliver the functionality and trust our customers rely on—now with a user experience that’s ready for the future.
