Global Partner Awards

Celebrating Our 2025 Deltek Global Partner Award Winners

This year marks my first time participating in the Deltek Global Partner Awards, and I couldn’t be more energized by what I’ve seen. Since joining Deltek in April 2025, I’ve had the opportunity to meet partners of every size and specialty who play an essential role in helping project based organizations run more efficiently and deliver mission critical work with confidence. Through these conversations, one thing stands out above everything else: their deep commitment to customer success.

Whether they’re helping a government contractor modernize decades old systems, guiding an engineering firm through a cloud migration, or supporting a consulting team as they rethink their project delivery workflows, our partners show up with flexibility, expertise, and heart. They understand our customers’ pressures. They know the stakes are high. They don’t just complete the task; they own the outcome and do whatever it takes to help them succeed.

Our award winners represent the very best of that community—organizations that not only excel in performance, but also demonstrate innovation, integrity, and a relentless focus on customer value.

When reviewing this year’s submissions, a common thread emerged: our top partners truly understand each customer’s unique challenges and bring a level of trust and collaboration that drives real momentum. Just as importantly, each winner brings a special blend of industry insight and service that allows them to stand out. As I often tell partners: when you know who you are and what you do best, it becomes easier for everyone to succeed together.

I am thrilled to introduce the 2025 Deltek Global Partner Award honorees.

The 2025 Deltek Global Partner Award Winners

This year’s winners span industries, geographies, and specialties — a true reflection of the breadth and strength of the Deltek ecosystem:

Each of these organizations has delivered measurable customer outcomes, not just activity or volume. They’ve accelerated time-to-value, improved clarity and control around the project lifecycle, and helped customers make meaningful strides toward modernization. In many cases, they enable customers to become more productive without slowing down their business — a balance that is incredibly hard to achieve.

To this year’s winners: congratulations and thank you for the remarkable work you are doing.
To every partner across the Deltek network: thank you for the trust you place in us and for the partnership you extend to our customers every day.

Building a Stronger, More Connected Ecosystem

If I had to sum up what this year’s winners represent, it’s this: Deltek has a truly exceptional partner community, and we are only scratching the surface of what we can accomplish together.

Our customers rely on us to steward their most critical systems and information. That requires trust and integrity from every corner of our ecosystem. This year’s award winners exemplify those values, delivering not just technology expertise, but the confidence and reliability customers need to keep their operations moving.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue building an even stronger sense of community across our partner base. We have an incredible opportunity to help partners collaborate with one another in new ways, bringing together complementary strengths to unlock even greater customer value. When partners combine their unique capabilities, the impact multiplies.

I’m thrilled to celebrate these achievements and even more excited for what we’ll build together in 2026 and beyond!
