Deltek ProjectCon 2025 brought together construction professionals from across the country to connect, learn, and share how they’re using Deltek ComputerEase to build smarter, more connected businesses. This year’s sessions blended forward-thinking product innovation with customer stories—offering attendees practical ways to streamline operations, improve profitability, and prepare for the future of construction technology.
Setting the Stage: A Vision for the Future
The ComputerEase track kicked off with Heather Lark, Senior Director of Product Management for ComputerEase, who shared a clear message: “We make construction accounting simpler.” With more than 22 years in the construction software industry, Heather outlined how the ComputerEase team continues to connect field and office operations, automate routine tasks, and empower contractors to see and grow their bottom line.
Heather also spotlighted Dela™ for ComputerEase Field, an exciting innovation that brings AI directly to the jobsite. Dela acts as an AI orchestrator—helping users create time entries, capture expenses, and manage field activities hands-free using natural language conversations. This is designed to save time, improve accuracy, and make field data entry as simple as speaking to your phone.
Heather’s keynote emphasized that AI and automation aren’t just on the horizon—it’s already embedded into how ComputerEase is helping contractors work smarter. Backed by partnerships with Anthropic, Azure AI, and GitHub Copilot, these advances signal a new era of intelligent automation for construction workflows. Dela in ComupterEase Field is just the beginning with much more to come in future releases.
