Costpoint 7 delivers new accounting, project management, materials management, content management, security, and payroll capabilities through a next generation service-oriented architecture. Costpoint 7’s web-services based architecture allows customers and partners to integrate with any Costpoint module in real-time from any location, enables the solution to scale for the needs of multi-billion dollar enterprises, and delivers the flexibility to be delivered through a public or private cloud environment.

“Deltek Costpoint is at the heart of everything that we do.

Costpoint 7 delivers innovative capabilities in a number of areas that will improve the operations of government contractors. With Costpoint 7, companies will gain:

Streamlined Financial Management Processes: Costpoint 7 supports accelerated invoicing and receipt of payment via improved support for Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF). This innovative new release delivers more accurate invoices through customer configurable billing options and open billing reports that show transactions that are being held, partially held, or written off.

World-Class Auditability, Compliance, and Security: Costpoint 7 builds upon its rich tradition of proactively addressing the auditability, compliance and security needs of government contractors. New security features enhance SOX compliance and Segregation of Duties as well as automated enforcement of internal controls.
