Faster and Cheaper Deployment

CORE can be implemented in weeks, not months. Deltek products have a steeper learning curve and longer deployment cycles due to complexity and dated architecture. Plus, get flexible and transparent pricing—no infrastructure or server costs and no need for expensive IT consultants.
