Searching for Deltek alternatives? Look no further.

If you are a government contractor (GovCon), you are probably familiar with DCAA requirements. You are probably also familiar with the myriad of mid-office and accounting software packages that exist to help companies comply with DCAA audits and the intricacies of cost-plus project accounting and reporting. 

The market is full of software offerings that promise DCAA audit compliance, but fall short of the usability and flexibility organizations have come to expect from modern software. Many organizations run Salesforce for CRM and look for mid- and back-office solutions that run on Salesforce to take advantage of a single platform for data, while maintaining the advantages Salesforce offers in reporting, flexibility, user-friendliness, and scalability. To date, there hasn’t been an offering that can handle the cost allocation capability necessary for government contractors––until now.

Why consider alternatives to a Deltek-like solution?

Here are a few of the common pain points with the typical software in this space (like Deltek Costpoint):

• Reporting solutions are difficult to customize and clumsy to use. Anyone familiar with DCAA compliance knows that producing key reports is vital when a DCAA audit happens. You need a powerful reporting capability and all of your data on one platform. 
• The user interface is dated, and it’s difficult to navigate and hide unwanted items. Many of our clients use the Salesforce.com platform with a modern interface, intuitive navigation, and the ability to customize your view. Naturally, they expect the same features from their accounting system.
• Extending the application is expensive, time-consuming, and in some cases, not feasible. This is a problem if you need the flexibility to stay current with your changing business needs or DCAA compliance requirements. 
• Integrating with other business applications is cumbersome.  Many of our enterprise clients have an intricate IT landscape composed of several core systems that all need to communicate. The Salesforce platform easily integrates with other enterprise systems like SAP, Oracle, Workday, and more.  

If these pain points resonate, you’ve come to the right place. Our Deltek alternative means your project and accounting systems don’t have to be an off-platform hindrance.
