FHI 360, a human development organization, is implementing Deltek’s comprehensive Costpoint suite to streamline its financial management operations and facilitate more efficient and cost-effective project delivery
HERNDON, Va. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 15, 2013 — Deltek, Inc., the leading global provider of enterprise software and information solutions for government contractors and professional services firms, announced today that FHI 360 selected Deltek’s Costpoint suite to power its financial and project management processes. FHI 360 will use a full suite of Deltek solutions — including Costpoint Core, Time and Expense, Budgeting and Planning, Costpoint Enterprise Reporting and GovWin Capture Management.
FHI 360 is a nonprofit human development organization dedicated to improving lives in lasting ways by advancing integrated, locally driven solutions. Its staff includes experts in health, education, nutrition, environment, economic development, civil society, gender equality, youth, research, technology, communication and social marketing — creating a unique mix of capabilities to address today's interrelated development challenges. FHI 360 serves more than 60 countries and all U.S. states and territories.
Although FHI 360 is a nonprofit entity, the organization finds, wins and delivers projects, similar to a for-profit government contractor. Given FHI 360’s significant growth following acquisition-related activities in 2011, FHI 360 began looking for a broad and deep, project-based, enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that also offered strong project management capabilities, functionality that its existing ERP system did not offer. The organization needed the new system to streamline its back-office operations and empower its project managers in the field with planning and tracking tools to deliver its projects on time and on budget.
FHI 360 engaged with 20 unique software vendors, and after analyzing all their capabilities, selected Deltek because it natively offered project accounting, job costing, and project management functionality in one integrated system.
“We conducted a rigorous vendor evaluation process when we selected our new system,” said Rob Murphy, Chief Financial Officer of FHI 360. “As the process moved along, we were drawn to Deltek because it offered a combination of project-based ERP capabilities, industry knowledge, and a superior reputation for customer service.”
“FHI 360 is a human development organization working around the world to address the world’s most enduring challenges, and we are thrilled that it chose Costpoint as its ERP platform for the future,” said Mike Corkery, president and CEO of Deltek. “Deltek is a great fit for nonprofits that implement projects for government customers. Deltek is very committed to the NGO space, and FHI 360 joins a growing group of more than 100 nonprofits that are using Deltek to power their organizations. We are excited to work closely with FHI 360 as it implements our solutions in the coming months.”
