Deltek, Inc. (NASDAQ:PROJ), the leading provider of enterprise applications software for project-focused organizations, today announced that it has signed Aktion Associates as a new business partner to expand the company’s already leading reach into the architectural and engineering sectors as well as the emerging professional services marketplace.
Recognized as one of the largest application providers and system integrators in the Midwest, Aktion Associates delivers a total IT solution to its more than 1,700 customers. These customers define Aktion’s business value by the company’s ability to quickly and cost-effectively solve complex, business-critical IT issues with best-of-breed solutions. The partnership with Deltek is a logical progression of Aktion’s commitment to collaborate with innovative solution providers who offer best-in-class solutions.
According to Aktion Associates’ President Scott Irwin, the addition of Deltek to Aktion’s existing product portfolio is an opportunity to attract a new customer base. “We view this as an excellent business opportunity in an emerging marketplace such as the professional services arena. It’s a critical component in our search to deliver a professional services application to customers whose business is project or labor-centric,” Irwin said. “The Deltek product is as leading edge as we’ve seen and is a technically savvy application with deep rooted functionality. The Deltek business model is an extremely partner friendly environment. I would use the term 'visionary' to describe their product and approach to business,” Irwin added.
“Aktion already has a very strong market presence in the architectural and engineering, and the professional service industries,” said Taylor Macdonald, Vice President, Worldwide Channels and Sales Alliances for Deltek. “The combined industry reach of Deltek and Aktion coupled with Aktion’s reputation for offering best-of-breed solutions provides exciting growth opportunities for us both. We are honored to have Aktion take part of our growth as a strategic business partner.”
