Newforma(R) Announces Partnership With Deltek(R)
Deltek(R) Vision(R) and Newforma(R) Project Center to Unite Project Financial Management With Project Delivery
MANCHESTER, NH--(Marketwire - April 29, 2008) - Newforma, a software company addressing
the project information management (PIM) needs of the design and building
industry, announced today that it has entered into an independent software
vendor (ISV) partner agreement with Deltek, the leading provider of
enterprise applications software designed specifically for project-focused
businesses. As a result of this partnership, joint customers will realize
the benefits associated with integrating Deltek's industry-leading project
and financial management solution with the project delivery capabilities of
Newforma software. In addition, Deltek and Newforma will coordinate sales
and marketing initiatives aimed at leading architectural and engineering
firms in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) marketplace.
As a step toward that goal, Newforma will participate as a sponsor,
exhibitor and presenter at Deltek Insight '08 May
19-22 in Nashville, Tenn. Newforma Director of Product Management Allen
Preger and Deltek Vision Product Director Jeff Eckerle will present a
breakout session on the benefits of tightly integrated business, financial
and project execution processes at 9:00 a.m. on May 21st. In addition,
Deltek's and Newforma's mutual customers Dev Malik, Chief Operating Officer
at BNIM Architects, and Patrick Covert, Systems Support Analyst at Moseley
Architects, will present "1+1 = 3: Integrating Technical and Business
Processes" at 3:30 p.m. May 21st.
"This agreement between Deltek and Newforma formally acknowledges a benefit
that our customers have understood for some time -- the power of a unified
view of all facets of project delivery on the desktops of everyone involved
in the project," said Deltek Vice President of Product Management Scott
DeFusco. "By taking advantage of the open architectures of both our
solutions, we will be able to provide our mutual customers with integrated
access to project and financial information to facilitate more timely and
better-informed project management decisions."
"Providing fully integrated, complementary solutions means considerable
time savings for our customers wishing to extend the project financial and
resource planning information managed in Deltek Vision into downstream
project work processes," continued DeFusco. "In addition, the combination
of project execution metrics from Newforma Project Center and financial
metrics from Deltek Vision will provide the senior managers of AEC firms a
deeper view of overall project performance and profitability that will
drive future success."
"In a project-driven industry like AEC," said Newforma Chief Executive
Officer Ian Howell, "the administrative challenges of managing and
monitoring hundreds of projects, each with a fluctuating number of internal
and external project team members, can be overwhelming. By partnering with
Deltek, Newforma can help mutual customers bridge the traditional gap
between managing business and project processes. We look forward to growing
our strategic relationship with Deltek and leveraging their market
leadership to deliver the benefit of our combined solutions to an even
wider audience of AEC firms."
