Herndon, VA, March 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Deltek, the leading global provider of enterprise software and information solutions for project-based businesses, announced today that Deltek customers – including Beck Engineering and Integrated Project Management Company – were ranked among the ‘ 2018 Best-of-the-Best’ consulting firms by Service Performance Insight Research (SPI). The 11th annual SPI Professional Services Maturity Benchmark report, sponsored by Deltek, is an industry-leading performance improvement tool that ranks the top 20 firms from over 450 firms that participated in the study.

According to SPI, these Best-of-the-Best firms outperformed their peers and the benchmark average by growing both revenues and new jobs at more than twice the rate of average firms.  The top performing firms excel across the five critical service performance pillars – leadership, client relationships, human capital alignment, service execution and finance and operations – that are the backbone of this benchmark, and have become the gold standard for the consulting industry.

The report features over 160 KPIs and reveals while competition is intensifying, workforce productivity is increasing and net profits are soaring.

Dave Hofferberth, Founder and Managing Director at SPI Research, has championed solutions for the professional services sector for twenty years. “I’m often asked what makes a best-of-the-best firm so successful,” said Hofferberth. “In my view, they all have one very important thing in common – they run their business on an integrated technology platform. By managing performance data from across the firm in a single, integrated system, these firms are able to view and optimize key performance metrics at every level of the business. This leads to better decision-making and the ability to identify and invest in the most profitable engagements, clients, and service offerings – in real time.”

Deltek is proud to congratulate its customers Beck Engineering and Integrated Project Management Company on being chosen to SPI’s 2018 Best-of-the-Best list. For more information or to download the report, click here.
