What You Need to Know Before Making the Move

 

Whether you are pursuing growth or accommodating it you need an ERP system that can handle your complex business requirements. You may be outgrowing GCS Premier because you require: additional indirect rate/pool structures, more visibility into project performance, or require increasing efficiency in processing data related to things like ACRN Tracking or WAWF interfacing with the government. Of course you may be looking at moving to Costpoint because of the recent announcement that DELTEK is ‘Sun setting’ GCS Premier in 2018. Whatever your reason one thing is clear, you are looking for a system that can manage your needs and you want a migration process that is as smooth, effective, and as straightforward as possible.

Within the Deltek Product Line Costpoint is the obvious choice when upgrading from GCS as it maintains government compliance, handles the complexity of your business, and the volume of data created by your growing success.
