OSLO, Norway — (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 26, 2012 — Deltek (Nasdaq: PROJ) today announced that Norwegian research foundation Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NERSC) has implemented the Deltek Maconomy® enterprise solution to better control its budget and cost, enhance its project management and resource planning processes and optimize visibility across its entire organization.

Deltek Maconomy best fits NERSC’s needs because it is tailor-made for project-focused organizations and is a fully-integrated solution that improves overall project performance and profitability.

NERSC is using Deltek Maconomy to streamline its funding-process, improve project accounting and better automate its financial management processes. The Foundation now has much greater visibility and control over its project management processes and is better able to monitor budgets throughout its organization. NERSC is also using Deltek Maconomy Business Performance Management to gain complete insight into its overall performance through extensive reporting, dashboards and ad-hoc analysis.

“When searching for an enterprise system, it was important for us to get a powerful project administration solution that would allow us to get full visibility into our many research projects and our costs, all in one view,” says Caroline Hordvik, Director of Finance and Administration, NERSC. “Deltek’s focused knowledge and understanding of our industry and our challenges made them the perfect partner to work with. With our implementation complete, Deltek Maconomy is delivering what we need, and we have already enhanced both our time and expense registration and our resource and project planning.
