Harnessing the Power of Artificial Intelligence

Generate & Automate Smart Content

Dela helps government contractors streamline data collection and analysis by using AI and machine learning to access project information and extract valuable insights that empower decision-makers. What previously required hours of manual research and tedious data collection is now effortlessly delivered with the click of a button.

The Smart Summaries™ feature integrated into our market intelligence solution, GovWin IQ, leverages Dela’s generative AI (GenAI) capabilities to create a natural language synopsis of key data sets that feed into analyst-tracked opportunities, government agency profiles, federal contracts and Task Order Awards. Dela also enables Contract Smart Summaries in Deltek Costpoint to cut down on the time it takes to gather basic information, including contract and customer names, key financial metrics, period of performance and subcontractor data.

Discover How

Through machine learning, Dela has access to more than 15 million unique documents in GovWin IQ, including historical RFP and SOW information, and can also offer insights into upcoming procurements. With Dela’s AI-driven Smart Fit Scores, contractors can make informed decisions more efficiently, ultimately saving time and resources with suggestions that are made based on their historical contract awards.

Narrative Score, a new predictive feature found in PM Compass, assists users with creating and reviewing Explanation of Variance reports. By incorporating Dela's GenAI capabilities, this scoring feature increases efficiencies by producing narratives with detailed explanations, impacts and corrective actions for project variances.

Hiring managers can also leverage Dela to enhance their efficiency and productivity. With the Candidate Relevancy Score feature in Deltek Talent Management, Dela helps recruiters predict if an applicant is a good fit for a job. This innovative software offers government contractors additional AI capabilities designed to drive further efficiency across various HR processes.

Deltek’s digital assistant, Ask Dela uses natural language to enhance productivity and efficiency by finding information, performing tasks and engaging users. It lets end-users ask questions about contracts and projects and receive answers based on data available in Deltek Costpoint. Government contractors can request Ask Dela to draft emails, conduct risk assessments, or display pending sales orders and open timesheets, all in one place. Also accessible from within Microsoft Teams, users can use Ask Dela to submit their time or ask questions within the application where they spend much of their work hours.

Ask Dela, with its voice-enabled and text-to-chat interface, supports GovWin IQ users by providing document summaries, highlights, key dates, and more, aiding government contractors in go-to-market planning. It's also integrated into Deltek ProPricer, offering instant access to Help content for quick task completion.
