Deltek today announced the introduction of its value-added business performance management (BPM) solutions for the enterprise market. Teaming with longtime partner Cognos, Deltek is now offering project-based companies a robust BPM solution designed to link together core management functions such as planning, monitoring and reporting to maximize business performance.

"Through measuring and analyzing key performance indicators (KPI), our new value-added BPM solution allows companies to specifically align their business strategies with their daily operations, unifying the entire company under commonly shared goals," said Rick Lowrey, executive vice president of Deltek. "Just as importantly, the new solution directly addresses our project-based customers by creating a single unified source for project-related data, which can be used to track performance, make strategic business decisions and measure individual project performance."

The BPM suite includes budgeting, scorecarding, reporting, planning and analytic tools designed to help project-based businesses set and achieve strategic goals such as improving efficiency and customer satisfaction, and lowering costs.

Deltek is also currently investing in the development of next generation reporting and data integration for Cognos ReportNet, the first all-in-one reporting software that allows users to create, modify and distribute all required business reports with one product and one architecture.

Deltek is offering value-added functionality to the Cognos BPM suite for its project-based clients through development integration and consulting services. As a Cognos partner for more than 12 years, Deltek was named as a recipient of the Cognos Pinnacle Award for the third consecutive year just last month. This distinction is given to Cognos partners demonstrating outstanding achievement in sales and commitment to Cognos. In addition, more than 870 customers are currently using Deltek business intelligence and planning solutions powered by Cognos.
