For the first time in more than two years, Deltek Project Nation gathered in person for our annual customer conference–Deltek ProjectCon! During today’s General Session, more than 3,000 project-focused professionals joined us in honoring our 2022 Most Valuable Project (MVP) Award winners.
This annual awards program recognizes Deltek customers and partners for improving business processes, driving innovation, or increasing profitability while using our solutions. And the winners reflect the growing number of industries we serve and the vast number of project-based businesses that rely on us to power their success.
Within our collective industries, we often talk about change, but throughout the last few years, project-based business leaders have faced changes of epic proportions. These changes have forced many customers to rethink every aspect of their business, including the technology they use to drive innovation and its meaningful impact on their organizations and communities.
I find it extremely gratifying to help our customers and their businesses achieve success in their daily operations−especially when you can share these accomplishments in front of their Deltek Project Nation peers. That’s why I am so honored to celebrate the best of the best and acknowledge the amazing things they are doing to transform the world around us.
Congratulations to our 15th Annual MVP Award winners for your partnership and trust in Deltek; it is our honor and privilege to support you as you deliver on your mission.
