Orlando, FL (May 14, 2009) –
Deltek, Inc. (NASDAQ: PROJ), the leading provider of enterprise applications software for project-focused businesses, today announced that it has signed a reseller partnership with SilkRoad technology to expand the human resources capabilities within Deltek Costpoint. Deltek will integrate SilkRoad’s best-of-breed Life Suite of talent management solutions with Deltek’s Costpoint Human Resources (HR) module. Deltek and SilkRoad already have more than 20 common customers using both companies’ technology to manage the end-to-end human resources process.
In today’s world, finding, retaining and developing top talent is a strategic priority for government contractors. Companies that embrace solutions and processes for attracting and nurturing talent have a competitive advantage over their peers. This enhanced Costpoint HR solution will enable government contractors to find the most qualified candidates and integrate them into the organization as fast as possible so they can have the right resources in place as new contracts are awarded. The Life Suite offers deep capabilities that include:
* Advanced recruiting functionality that integrates with thousands of online job boards to quickly find the best, most-qualified candidates to fill critical positions – including those that require advanced security clearances
* Employee onboarding to get newly-hired resources up and running quickly so they can be productive on day one
* Flexible performance management with multi-rater/360 degree assessments, succession planning and development planning to keep employees engaged in their professional development
* Robust learning management tools that can be personalized to each individual employee to continuously enhance employee skills and better position the company to win new contracts
* Powerful employee intranet and content management providing one central source for department-specific data, materials and company information
All of these capabilities work together with Costpoint to maximize the time-to-value for getting employees as productive as possible in the shortest amount of time while creating a positive experience for employees and reducing stress on managers.
“We are extremely pleased to partner with Deltek, the industry-standard enterprise applications provider for government contractors,” said Andrew J. “Flip” Filipowski, CEO of SilkRoad technology. “The combination of our market-leading HR capabilities – that complement Deltek’s already deep HR functionality – with Deltek’s flagship Costpoint solution gives government contractors all the tools they need to find and retain the best talent.”
“In the competitive world of government contracting, what sets great companies apart are their employees,” said Jim Rogers, Market Vice President, Government Contracting. “Deltek’s Costpoint solution has long had deep capabilities for effectively managing employees. However, with the announcement of this partnership, we have taken the solution to a new level by ensuring that the right individuals are hired, trained, and developed as quickly as possible, so government contractors can rapidly and effectively execute projects for the Federal Government.”
