Elevating the Possible: Celebrating Our 2025 Customer & Partner MVPs

We’re continually inspired by the stories our customers and partners share — stories of transformation, growth, and measurable impact. Our annual Most Valuable Project (MVP) Awards are our way of celebrating those achievements and the people behind them.

These awards recognize more than success, they celebrate organizations that are redefining what’s possible in their industries. Whether it’s improving processes, winning new business, boosting efficiency, or delivering measurable outcomes, these teams exemplify what it means to elevate performance with purpose.

Now in its 18th year, our MVP Awards continue to showcase the best of Deltek Project Nation. This year’s winners didn’t just deliver results — they set new benchmarks for excellence, inspiring their peers and raising the bar across our community. From operational breakthroughs to innovative approaches that accelerate growth, these MVPs are proof that success is designed, intentional, and absolutely achievable.

Congratulations to the category winners recognized during today’s Deltek ProjectCon ceremony. We’re proud to celebrate your impact and elevate your stories of what’s possible.
